CJ Graduates from College

Super proud of CJ for getting his degree from Rust College. We were in Nashville for a soccer tournament and hated to miss the ceremony but had a little family celebration upon our return on Sunday.

Sport, Sports and More Sports

Wow, wow, wow. We have played a LOT of sports this spring. Which is great, since last spring we didn't get to play any sports but it has kept us hopping and made the month of April fly by! 

2011 MFC Girls (blue and red teams)


Tournament in Hendersonville, TN






Case decided to play tennis this spring. He's never played tennis before. We don't play tennis. I have no idea why he chose it but he sure had a fun time and improved tremendously throughout the season, even winning a play in game to make it into the MS tournament. We were super proud! 


And then we experienced the first of hopefully many track seasons with Emery and it was so much fun! I absolutely loved every second of it. Being at the track with her every Sunday afternoon doing something we both love so much was one of my greatest joys as a parent. She worked so hard and had such a great attitude. She ran the 100, 200 and 400 and then did the long and high jump. So many great new experiences! 
















Had a PR of 3' 6" this season



Jumped 11' 6" to secure 3rd place in the grades 3-5 division

Emery's 10th Birthday

I surprised Emery with a trip to North Carolina to see Evangeline for her birthday and what a great trip it was!  Montreat, NC was like someplace out of a movie that's not actually real. It would definitely not be a bad place to live and was super fun to visit! 


We literally walked out the Dasher's back door and hit the trailhead. Again, like a dream! 


















Sweet friends! 


We sure do miss this sweet family being in Memphis! 



DOUBLE DIGITS! Can't believe our girl is a whole decade old! Emery, happy birthday, sweet girl! These days it's easy to catch you skipping, singing, preparing care packages for the homeless, creating art of any and every kind, and generally cracking us up (sometimes just with a look or random comment). You bring so much joy to our family and we love you so much! Happy Birthday, Emmy Lu!
