Memorial Day Weekend.

We had such a good weekend. Friday night we got some sweet rest after a Mamaw B. visit!

Saturday we swam and then had a night at the Rowe's where I took the only pictures from the weekend. I took those on my phone...

We had a great time fishing and laughing

This girl loves to fish. Her sister not so much... Grace would fish for hours and did. The dark ran them in finally. Thankful for pond stained feet! Thankful for a friends that lends clothes, boots and Shout, for wonderful food and sweet fellowship. Thankful for tangled and broke fishing lines and for friends we can laugh with and make messes with and can just be...

Thankful that no matter what gender and age separates our kids, they still have a blast when they are together!

Thankful for a Sunday of church and family fellowship that celebrated an adoption and for chores completed, family time spent and a great day with my sweet family.

Thankful for Monday that consisted of new furniture/swimming/grilling/ice cream and planting new plants... Who knew I would be so excited about blueberries!

Thankful for a pastor that encourages and made my husbands weekend. :-)

Thankful for our health and praying for the sweet one in the picture above. Thankful for God's grace and love... Today I'm thankful. I'm thankful and I'm full.... Thank you Lord.

Happy Thursday all!

Tuesday Softball!

My girl pitched for 3 innings.

She was walked once and got 2 really good hits.

pretty good for a tired Narrell that came home from school and stayed in the pool all afternoon!

Field Day 2011!

Field Day is so different from when I was in school, for field day we played basketball, softball and kickball...

Today's field day is wild! The kids are wild and the day makes me feel old!

I worked two hours on the dry slide in the heat, and again, I was the only one at my slide and so for two hours, I said, don't go down two at a time, ONE AT A TIME, go down on your bottom, No you can't go head first, I said ONE AT A TIME. It made me feel old and cranky!

Tug- a war

instead of a dunking both, they had a spray both...

Right in the face!

but she didn't mind!

Sweet friends

Alyssa, Brittney and Grace

By lunch the mud was ever present!

Again, they didn't mind.

So thankful I have the opportunity to spend time with my girl.

I'm blessed.

Bubble time!

They loved it, I couldn't stand the thoughts of it, but again, I'm old!

Then for the kids favorite part of the day, they line up at 1:45 and for the next 30 minutes they get sprayed but the fire department, luxuries of a small town life!

I don't know who has more fun the kids or the fire department!

They get a little wild during this especially!

The guy on top likes to start spraying it short, so the parents get close for pictures then he turns it up and fans and many parents got soaked!

I may be old, but I can move, I did not get wet, at least not this year!

We thought it was over, I started up the catwalk to go check out my girl while she was going to change and then boom, but thanks to the catwalk and the alcoves, for the doors, I stayed dry...

What a fun day....

We completed the day at the public library and then to the orthodontist.

We are all proud owners of public library cards, and why haven't we done that before!

AAU Saturday!

AAU Friday and Saturday....

Our last AAU weekend...

We are sad because she loves it but so not sad because we are ready for some down time...

See 35, that's Shelby, Kacey's friend that's one year older. It was fun watching them play each other.
Post game, Kacey trying to get Lane to look up for a picture...

On to the next game.

Foul shots.

We won!

Hope you had a good weekend!

Sunday we spent about an hour at the pool...

Greg preached at Faith Rock.

Loving some summertime!
