Fun with Papa Joe & Grammy, plus Little Dribblers!

Papa Joe and Grammy were here for a visit.  It coincided with Erin's first two performances with the Little Dribblers - a trick basketball team of 3rd and 4th graders at BGA.  On Friday they performed at assembly -- here she is!




On Saturday morning we went downtown to the Dickens of a Christmas festival - we were so happy to bump into Erin's Little Buddy from Kindergarten - Caroline!  Here's a cute selfie they took.



 And here's one of all of us --


After Dickens we drove to Nashville and watched the Little Dribblers perform as the halftime show at the Lipscomb University men's basketball team game versus Princeton.

Learn to Event 2015

Thunder and I competed in his first full three phase event. We only signed up for Starter but he was great!!  So proud of him. We were in third after dressage and then had a great Stadium round. It was brutally hot - heat index around 107 - but he was great on cross country. A little uncertain for a few scary jumps but he went out there and rocked it. We won!!  

Early morning trying to get a spot in the shade!


The jump on the left was the very first one. Several people were eliminated here. 









Lots of bonding with my grooms!  Wish I had one of mc. She was a great helper. 



Fun with our critters

Today was a great day to cuddle up with our critters.

Happy 11th Birthday Mary Clare!


Mary Clare got a shopping spree at the AG store that opened up in Franklin recently. What a fun day!  Grandma was here and we had lunch in the Cafe too. Great day. Can't believe she is ELEVEN!  Such a smart, thoughtful, sensitive, kind and funny young lady she is turning into. We love her so much!

Family Reunion 2015

This summer we couldn't find a week that everyone was free to go to OBX so we all convened at Grandpa & Grandma's house for a few days.





The girls had fun playing tennis. 

This cute frog watched us have lunch one day. 

We had a great time visiting a turtle rescue and saw babies as well as one who was brought in while we were there!

Guinea Pigs!

Erin has been begging for a guinea pig and even put together a pretty impressive presentation to convince us.
