3rd and 4th grade Awards Day

    Another school year is in the books! Rylee Kate completed 3rd grade top in her class. She received several awards today at awards day including, Chorus, Young Achiever, and M&M award (marvelous and magnificent student). We are very proud of all her hard work!  Tucker finished up 4th grade year, top in his class as well. He received the top Math student, Mr. Goodbar award (good friend to everyone) and was voted on by his class as Mr. 4th grade.  I hate this year passed so quickly but we are ready to make many memories this summer!

Our Hero

This man means the world to me! He has been through so much the last few years and continues to fight and live his life to the fullest! He has recently taken 40 radiation treatments and today is it! He will ring the bell and celebrate with family! Uncle Sas loves his family, job, friends, his community, but more importantly his Lord and Savior. I am so thankful that God has placed him in my life many years ago and that I had the honor of growing up with him as my 2nd daddy. Way to fight Sas! Now go out and spread the good word of your healing! SAS STRONG!

Mother's Day

We celebrated Mother's Day with lunch at the Lorenz's and then celebrated with supper with the McNabb's.  It was a beautiful day loving on all the important women in my life!

 

Tucker celebrates #11

Tuck,
    I don't know where to begin. I can't believe it's been 11 years ago since I first experienced the joy of becoming a Mom. God truly blessed us when He gave us you. We could not have picked a more perfect son. You are intelligent, handsome, and athletic. You have a heart of gold toward others, but most importantly your love for Jesus is so evident. To see you pray and read your devotion each night at bedtime without being asked, to watch you whisper your prayers during the moment of silence each morning at school, then when you come to me and ask me to pray with you about a decision you are facing, and to top it off, you volunteer to lead the prayer at dinner in front of your entire baseball team and their families in the middle of a restaurant and do quite well. You simply amaze me! Continue to work hard in school and on the baseball field, keep God first and oh the places YOU will go! I could not be more proud to call you my son. I love you Tucker (even though I am your second favorite.) Happy #11 to you!
Mom

The Ripken Experience...

     We had a great weekend of baseball and camping. Tuck and the Flash team played in their first Ripken Experience tournament. It was a first class tourney and our team played very well. We won both games on Saturday against two pretty good teams but just couldn't get it going on Sunday and lost by 4 runs. Even though it didn't end the way we had hoped for the boys never lost their fight and determination and it is so evident that this is a special group.  On a side note Rylee Kate enjoyed some fun on the alpine coaster and at the Island!

Young Achiever 2016

Rylee Kate was nominated for young achiever 2016 by her 3rd grade teacher, Mrs.Edwards.  Rylee has worked very hard this year and has wanted this honor for a couple of years. We were so proud of her! We attended the banquet and then went to Cracker Barrel for dessert to celebrate!
