We Had Some Doves

So I am no longer working as a teacher at the school, but I seem to stay busy ALL THE TIME.   I thought I'd have some days that I would be foot loose and fancy free, but they haven't surfaced yet.   I am loving the new schedule of flexibility and I can substitute when I want to.   Trey thinks I have spent too much time at the school already, but I have said "no" as much as I have said "yes".

We love football game days!!!!

We bought a house in town a few years ago and finally finished renovating it.  It was a two bedroom one bath house and now it's a three bedroom and three bath house.   It's precious.  Annie wants to live there.

Bitty is my #4

My QB

I am a pep rally mom now!!!!

He's all business on that field.

Every year the dove hunt is a BIG DEAL.   Lots of planning and preparations goes into the weekend.   The kids live their best lives and the adults socialize.  

Hunt #1 at the Walker's house...








Hunt #2 at our farm..... Bitty drove the 4 wheeler several miles to get there.

Trey and his best friend, Seth...


They drove that ranger all day.





Some friends don't own camo!

I was the Uber driver that day giving people waters, bullets, and rides.

The Games Have Begun

So we moved into our house when Annie was ten days old.   A ten day old baby doesn't need a shower, so we never bought her a shower door.   Fast forward to 9 years later and her daddy said it's time for her to move into her own bathroom.   Now this bathroom has cost me a lot more than a shower door.   I have had to buy towels, rags, products, and all the things she thinks she might need.

It's football season time.   And with that comes:  peewee, junior high and varsity.  Wednesday night the boys laid out their attire and Annie kindly tried it on.




Thursday morning came with A LOT of hype!!!!  So much excitement to kick off the season.

Thursday was the junior high pep rally.


Ford, Griff, and Landry were captains....



Peewee game....

Bitty is #4 but he accidentally grabbed Annie's jersey #44.  He's a running back...

Ford is #2....He's the QB.



Hot.   Tired.   Dirty.


Friday night at 5:30 the head football coach called Trey.   He said he had one QB and needed Ford to dress out for the 7:00 game.   Trey started yelling for Ford.   Before 5:45 we were turning into the school on two wheels.

Representatives McMillan, Lamar, Keen, and Hawkins

Ford was #34

I didn't think he'd play but he finished half of the third quarter and played all of the fourth.


Proud Daddy

Puh takes the back to school shopping in August.  It has now turned into sending her an Amazon link.   Annie wanted a desk.  Daddy spent 2 hours putting it together on Saturday.

Gaines spent the night and Bitty and him made pancakes.

My mom's cousin, Brad, emailed me asking if I wanted a clock that was a family heirloom.   He sent it to me, and I think it looks lovely.


I just love her.

Annie and Daddy bush hogging on Sunday to prepare for the dove hunt.
