Fish Fry Fun!

Every year we enjoy celebrating the World's Biggest Fish Fry...right here in Paris! The boys love going to ride the rides at the fair and we have a great time watching the parade with family and friends! Of course we have to take time to enjoy a catfish dinner at the fish tent! This is just one of the many things we love about living in Paris...enjoy the pics! (Somehow I never managed to get a family picture :( but Corey and I were there, hehe!)

Kindergarten Parade, Fall Cookout and Field Day...Whew!

As the end of the school year approaches, the Kindergarten classes are getting ready for 1st Grade! Part of this was a parade where each of the classes dressed up with a different theme and then walked around the school while the 1st and 2nd graders cheered them on...so cute!Afterward, the kids changed into their Reading Celebration shirts and we had a picnic...Corey, Fred and some of the guys grilled lots of burgers...Then we began Field Day! Caleb wanted Bennett to be right there with him and even had him change into his parade shirt. They played in jumpers, had a petting zoo and several relays. It was a really fun day!!!

It's T-Ball Time in Tennessee!

The boys had their first t-ball game together. I think they are really excited to be teammates...Corey and I are definitely excited that we only have one schedule to deal with and that he only has one team to help coach ;) They are both doing so well, and we're super proud of them!
Bennett's first at-bat...
He slides home every time...about 3 inches too short...it's adorable!
Caleb at the plate...
This made me so happy...they didn't even know I was behind them with the camera, and Caleb just put his arm around B...so precious!
GO TRI-TURF!!!

Corey's Half Marathon

Corey has been training for months to prepare for his first half marathon. The Andrew Jackson Half was the perfect one...it was a beautiful day and a beautiful course. He also ran into a friend from college. They run at about the same pace, so it was a real blessing to have someone to run with for the 13.1 miles. We are so proud of you, Corey...you worked so hard to accomplish this goal! Way to go!
Afterward, we all went to Zachary's hockey game...the boys took their hockey gear along with them, too. What a cute pic!The boys were both so exhausted after the late night at the concert Friday and a fun-filled Saturday morning that they conked out in the backseat of the car on the way home...bless their hearts!

Zachary's All-State Concert

I'm so proud of my "little" brother, Zachary. He is a very talented trombone player and just all around great guy. The boys and I had the privilege of going with Mom, Dad and Natiley to his All-State concert. The concert was wonderful...I especially liked the trombone parts ;)

Crusin' Time!

Corey and I headed to Jackson to drop the boys off at mom and dad's for the week of Spring Break so we could go on a much needed vacation...a cruise with our friends, the Cooks and the Alexanders! We drove to Mobile and left on a 5 day Caribbean cruise with stops in Cozumel and Calica (Playa del Carmen). We had such a wonderful time relaxing and enjoying the wonderful meals. Corey has worked so hard this past year and vacation came just in time to let him rejuvenate! I don't have time to post all the details, but we were able to have two relaxing days on the ship, a fun morning touring Discover Mexico...a museum about Mexican history with scale models of ancient ruins and other landmarks, an afternoon of snorkeling in Cozumel at the Chankunaab resort, a day of fun renting a Dodge Journey and exploring Playa del Carmen and driving to Cancun for a long walk on the beautiful beach, and a beautiful vowel renewal ceremony for Becky and Bruce's 20th anniversary...so many wonderful memories were made! Here are some pictures of the fun week we had!
