Meet Tuck

The kids have been begging for a dog for months now.   Literally.   As much as I didn't need anything else on my plate, I caved and we found a British Lab.   A family in town had a male and we kind of fell in love with him.  We went to visit several times and decided he was the dog for us.  Before he even came to live here they had named him: Tucker Thomas Lamar....Tuck.

This is the day he came to live with us....



They wore him out.


Ford turned 13.5 the day we adopted Tuck.

He's 4 feet 11.5 inches
86 pounds
size 6.5-7 in mens

We can't forget about the Gingko tree at our church....











The sickness hit our house pretty hard.  Ford had strep.  Bitty had flu.   Annie had a mystery virus.   Ford had fever for 7 days.


Trey took Bitty to a NWCC game.    He was pleased with the chicken wings.

This is one of my students.   We talk about bucket lists at school.  I told them if they ever saw a Buc-ee's gas station they needed to stop.  She went on a trip and brought me back a prize.   I squealed.
Grandparent's Day 2022..... I forgot to take pictures!!!!!!



Day 5 of sickness with no diagnosis.

Every year since I student taught, I have read the book, Frindle, with my students.   A few years ago I incorporated a project to design their own pen.  I love it.

The art teacher sent me this one day!!

Trey hosted a MHS junior high football banquet.

Daddy sent me a hunting picture.

Our loaded tea place offered teas for teachers the week of Thanksgiving.  People could send a teacher a tea.  Taylor sent me one!!!!!!

It made my day!

The Things We Do

Our school does a phenominal job of raising funds for St. Jude.  The high school put on a Halloween costume softball game.  My child decided to participate the day of and we didn't have any "costumes" to fit him.   I remembered someone gave me a poodle skirt years ago and there you go.... 

His team....
Fall softball is over.  Annie loves the sport.  I was always excited to watch her play.

She is good about cheering on her teammates.

Miss Taylor is the best.  If Annie plays....she coaches.

The Crickets



Years ago I bought a pumpkin cake pan and it has kind of become a tradition to make a pumpkin cake every year.

No matter how ugly they may be!


Another tradition that has happened every year since 2009 is the Lamar Family Pumpkin Carving....





Trick or Treating means stopping at Bobba's house first....


Then on to Puddin and Pops's house

The Crockett family came to eat chili with us and then we rode around together.






At the end of the night.....she can't handle it

RTT TBS

Thank goodness that Easter Bunny stopped by.... Trying to take pictures of my kids isn't the easiest thing ever..... We recreated a 2016...
