Well Dog Check

I am happy to report that Cubby is healthy and growing old gracefully!  He had his 9 year well check and got a clean bill of health.  I learned how to clean his teeth.  Anyone who knows this dog knows what a task that is!  No wonder they put them to sleep for a true dental cleaning.  We love our little fur fellow!

JAE Cross Country 2015




I have done a TERRIBLE job of recording in pictures the girls 1st year in Cross Country.  I am so proud of them.  It is the first year their school has had a team and they have been in 1st place for both boys and girls each week for the past 3 weeks.  The first meet we missed…bad mommy moment!  I took a wrong turn in the park and the race had just started when we pulled in.  We did cheer for our school and got a good feel for what it was all about.  The next two races have proven to be very hard but so good!   The girls have both improved their times and are enjoying running.  It is a great group of kids and parents.  This weekend I will get better pictures to document the event!  Proud to be a Jaguar!  

Cumberland Bike Trail


We packed up our bikes and hit the trails in Nashville.  We had so much fun discovering new territory!  We were a bit tired after our trek! 

Camp Out

A few weeks ago, Mia and I slept in the tent on the trampoline!  What a great memory we made.   It got bright a little too early but we had so much fun!  I love this little face!

Pix from school

STEMtastic Friday activity!   I love that Mia's teacher sends me moments in photos to capture her learning!

Emma and Mia before school!

It's a dance party!  Ansley, Emma, Marlee, Emily, and Jackson

Izzy and Mia…..No Words Needed!

Sweet Selfies





Ansley and Grace can spend lots of time entertaining themselves behind the camera!  Sweet girls are making memories for their apartment they plan to share in college.  Their mindset is, "It's never too early to start planning!"  Two peas in a pod!

And the WINNER IS….Mia Scott!

Ansley, Mia and Izzy posing for a quick picture in the transition from school, cross country practice to church.  


We love having Iz join us for a speedy family dinner on Wednesday nights!

Mia was the lucky winner of these Newtons!  Coach Techa got a donation of 9 pair and Mimi's name was drawn.  She is certain she is much faster!  We will see at the race on Sunday!

Yum!



The best part of helping in the kitchen…..licking the beaters!  

Breakfast of Champions!  These girls have NO idea how lucky they are.  S.  cooks homemade breakfast daily.  This morning it was french toast and bacon…..he had a protein shake and I had a protein bar.

Picture Day 2015




The girls were ready for picture day!  We will se how they turned out!  I am sure they will be beautiful!

Precious Pirate!

See that Stink Eye?!?


She had so much fun!  She came home complete with a mustache.  I love that she can actually pull it off!  

Ahoy…Mate!



Oh how these pictures make me laugh!  Mia got to dress up for National Pirate's Day today!  She sure doesn't look like she is ready to capture anyone's treasure!  Sweet girl had a fun day in 3rd grade!

Snuggle

Cubby isn't about to miss out on a snuggle opportunity!  

Squeezing in a Little More Summer

I love that the neighbor girls love to play in the sprinklers too!  Lots of fun memories ahead for this crew!





Gracie

Sweet Grace is as big of a Vols fan as we are Bama fans.  Her daddy played for UT in college so it's in her blood.   Well….she spent the night on a recent Friday and forgot her shirt.  So ANSLEY, made a deal with her that she had to wear an Alabama shirt when her brother picked her up, for who knows what in exchange.   Sweet Grace is an AMAZING sport!

Garden Harvest

A couple of weeks ago we picked the last of our garden.  Not a bumper crop (glad we have day jobs), but we had enough cucumbers, tomatoes, and jalapeños to enjoy!

Tea Party!






This table has had lots of tea parties.  This one might be my favorite because it included "real tea" and their little legs are almost too big to fit under the table.   *sniff*  I LOVE that they still love pretending and can make an afternoon out of planning.  My favorite thing is that they had so much FUN!
