Happy 6th Birthday, Kat!

My precious angel, Kat, turned 6 in the blink of an eye!! This girl is so happy and spirited and funny and loving. She has her moments but mostly she is loving life! She lost her very first tooth yesterday (the last day of being 5) and her 2nd tooth the morning of her birthday!! She was pumped that the tooth fairy was good to her! We started off the day by getting her ears pierced! That was her request and she did amazing!! She was thrilled to have a real birthday party with some of her friends. We had a swim party at Mrs. Sissy's pool and she had the best time. We got to see some old friends from daycare, new friends from school, and all of our neighborhood friends. We even had some of our "FRamily" friends show up and party as well. We celebrated with swimming, snacks, and a cake with her softball on it. She loved playing ball this year so we thought a softball themed cake was very appropriate. We even had a pinata, and boy did they love taking a swing at that! We are so thankful for this little caboose who brings so much joy to our world!

Baseball Tournaments are so much fun, even on Father's Day!

A very happy father's day to our favorite dad...he spent it on the field with Sam and the Titans in a tournament in Oxford. It was a great tournament and Sam played amazing, which was all the gift that Chet needed. We ended up losing out but we had a fun team celebration at the end of the game to celebrate our first year as a Tupelo Titan. We were excited that Mimi and Uncle Mark, Ady Rae, and Andrew were able to join in on some of the games! Sam has really enjoyed this year and learning the ins and out of baseball under the leadership of Coach Joe and Coach Bob. We are looking forward to more baseball and more memories with our baseball family!

Daddy and the kiddos on father's day!

Hiking and Relaxation is always fun!

Schools out and mom is home from the travel nursing gig, so we wanted to go on a little "mini-vacay" to celebrate the end of the year and the kick off to summer. We started out the trip by doing some hiking in the Bankhead National Forrest in Alabama. 4 out of the 5 really enjoyed it!! I'll let you guess which family did not enjoy the hiking!! LOL- Kendall is not a huge fan of outdoor activity when it involves moving your body! We survived and she actually got in the waterfall, only because her daddy said he would give her $5 to do it! We proceeded to Florence/Muscle Shoals, AL to the Marriott hotel and spa for 2 nights. We enjoyed the pool, even though it was a little cool for the kids. They spent a good deal of time in the hot tub! They have a great park that has a playground and a huge splash pad. We had a great week spending time together and making memories!!
