I love this girl’s spirit and affection more than just about anything!
where have these eight years of June gone?
a quick overnight for a mix of work and play and a mix of birthday and anniversary
24 years later
finally a visit to see the seven states…

Spring Baseball Fever
Number change this year
pitching was a thrill for him and he was usually pitching every other game
If he wasn’t pitching, he was at first…my personal favorite…a little less stress for me
always an exciting game regardless of the heat or the outcome
we participated one day in an ALL day tournament 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
my girls were super fun and supportive
although long, the day was a blast!
4 games, 4 wins…and the champs
I could get use to this all day freedom of just watching baseball!
like father, like son❤️my two favorite baseball boys!
Jackson’s Birthday
who can believe my baby boy is 12

I enjoy celebrating these three…But I am not looking forward to a teenager next year!

Anakeesta for my birthday!
My Birthday and Mother’s Day was spent at the top of Anakeesta!
I can’t believe this is the first time we’ve ever came to the top
sorry Jack boy, I had to include this…he hates the heights
such beauty
walking right between the trees but elevated
End of Year School Trip
The Ark Encounter, Kentucky!
what an adventure in April we had
our family joined our CC group for our end of the year trip
the size of the Ark was incredible!
We also visited The Creation Museum, my favorite. Our group was originally double in size, but unfortunately, many of the families became sick the week of our trip.
so much to see, so much to do.

We skipped spring…
I am realizing how far behind I am in keeping up with life. My last post consisted of the cold and snow, and as I write this, it is June! I hope my children understand…
we had a nice balance transitioning from the toasty indoors to the cooler outside 
we like to pick a sunny location for school as much as we can
we tend to like playing as much as we can
I myself LOVE this bloom!
a nice view above
garden start up crew
spring blooms, blooms, and more blooms
a careful eye o the sky behind Nana’s 
and a promise given

A University of Tennessee Baseball Win!

Frozen precipitation is a treasure in the Hollow!
It never matters the amount that falls, we have to get in it!
especially this girl…
and this girl too
Always love when the cousins join us
Nana
fun and giggles
these kiddos are full of energy
it was freezing this day, but there was no slowing this crew down
we were so excited, we popped our new Santa sled
although a destroyed ride, we still continued to have a blast

oh the beauty of our earth
my heart❤️
Christmas was the Best!
