The Boys

This post is all about the grandboys.  I was able to go to the American Village on a fieldtrip with Reed.  Following the fieldtrip, he had a dental procedure (which honestly deserves a post of its own), and then we headed here to wrap up deer season. Sadly, Maddie's first soccer game was cancelled due to all this rain we have received.  This is the beginning of the time of year when we stay in the road.  When it gets too hectic, I remind myself how blessed I am to have 5 happy, healthy and active grandchildren.  I am thrilled to be able to travel and watch each of them.  Jack joins the group this year with baseball, so everyone will be doing something.  Pop and I will divide and conquer as many events as possible.

Reed was selected to do one of the main parts at American Village.  He did a great job and loved it!!



So proud of him!  We had a great time on this trip.  It was very educational, interesting and fun for all!  He and I left a little early to head to that dentist appointment.  He had a procedure done-frenectomy. Basically, it was a cauterizing tool that left a big hole in his gum.  I am only mentioning this because he did such a great job!! It is painful to even look at, but he was quite the trooper!  The dentist did a wonderful job.



Now on to the final deer hunt of the year.  Pop and Reed left before daylight on the final morning.  Reed was able to shoot this deer shortly after the sun came up!  They went back pig hunting later, but didn't see anything.


Making Memories!



John Sawyer, Jack and I enjoyed an afternoon at one of our favorite parks last week.  I can't wait until for warm spring days, so we can do this more often.


More to come!

This and That

 Reed is here this weekend for the final deer hunt of the season.  I am happy to report that he got a buck this morning.  Spring sports start this weekend with Maddie and soccer.  This will be the first season for soccer at her school, and we are super excited!  Baseball, softball, track and more soccer will soon be on the horizon. 

I just love how they love each other! Cousins are the best.



Belle got to go on her first quail hunt of the year.  I absolutely love watching her do what she was born to do.  It's absolutely amazing to watch.  I also love watching Pop with the little ones hunting. We missed the big kids though. 


Jack enjoyed it for a little while.  He and I had quite the time just following in the Polaris!


 Please don't tell JS that he's hunting with a BB gun.  He loves hunting!


A trip to the sandpile is always a hit!  (Clothes are optional!) 


Love this sweet girl and Roxie, too!


And then this happened........I had saved some of Lindsey's dresses from back in the day, and Maddie had a ball trying them on. What a blast from the past!  They fit her perfectly.  Maddie actually wore the black one to a winter formal. Love this pretty girl so much!  


Next up!  Soccer, a trip to the park, and a deer hunt!
