CINCO DE MAYO......nuff said!

Just a little Cinco De Mayo celebrating after the girls singing program, "A Little Bite of Moon"
They did an outstanding Job.
I was given my mothers day gift early which was a hand painted flower pot, a sweet love note from each of the girls.
Trista described me as 65 years old, 12 feet tall and only weighing 45lbs
Sadie graciously said I was 45 years old, 6 feet all and weighted only 28lbs.
BLESS. THEIR. HEARTS!
Best mothers day gift ever.

Random Posts....and a big RECOGNITION to Miss TRISTA LEE for her art award

TRISTA- LEFT SADIE- RIGHT


Out of 13 Sumner Co schools and 120 1st graders at Jack Anderson....Trista was chosen for the outstanding art award for her creativity and abstract RAIN CHIME. It was displayed at the Vol State art gallery for a week for any and all to see. We are so proud of her.


A LITTLE JUJU. A LITTLE MIMI. A LITTLE PAPA T



 Just saying the words Juju or Mimi or Papa T they squeal  and go up 
about 3 octaves in their voice. 

 You all bring so much joy, laughter, smile to these two little girls faces.
We love it when you visit....so come any time.



April Showers brought May flowers......and life just got busy


Probably one of the most relaxing vacations I've had in awhile. It was just our family, very last minute but so worth the drive.
 DAYTONA BEACH 2016

 Sadie and Daddy (pre beard shave;)

 SADIE- L   TRISTA- R
Thanks to "Uncle" Rod Sweet who is generous enough to let us stay in his beach condo (top floor, PLENTY room, with all the beach amenities) Heated pool on the weekends, full kitchen that has everything you could ever need or want.
Rod Sweet is the nephew of grandmother Venice Sweet  Thurmon. Its her brothers (Jim Sweet) son. Never married. Never had kids just invested a lot of his money in commercial real estate and export goods and lives very humble but I would guess to be very wealthy!  Rod is a man of very few words. I clean his condo (spotless) and he lets us stay for a week. Its a nice trade and I am happy to do it. I always make him a big batch of Granola and bread leave it in the fridge when we leave.
We had a blast!! The girls swam in the beach and the pool from sun up to sun down. They love the beach!
POST SHAVE.....now that's more like it. That's what I like.

9 MONTHS OLD

YOU ARE THE SWEETEST THING EVER!
You were "milked", bathed, fed, snuggled, held, rocked, strollered, let go- hitting your head on the carpet multiple times, diaper changed, dressed up, drug around but mostly smothered in hugs and kisses for 4 days straight. Oh how we miss you!
We love you Claire Bear
