Why my Mammy loves me:  Because you are fun to be around, hardly have to work at anything - almost everything comes very naturally for you, you burst out into random SMO's (sudden musical outbursts) like your Dad and Grandpa, you serve in the church nursery and are great with little kids, you had a blast this summer riding your bike, playing basketball, going to the creek and swimming at the pool, you love Beausef and you love your friends!  We love you Jack!!!  We are so thankful we get to be your parents and cannot wait to see how God continues to grow you into the Man He has created you to be!!!

Our Fam

Dan in Nashville and Senior Prank Day

 Dan got to go to Nashville for work and went out to dinner with these 3!  Too much rootbeer!

 Dan, Walton and Sam

 I got to sub at Heritage the day that was Senior Prank Day - it made me so happy because it was so fun and not destructive - the perfect Senior Prank!  They blew up 100's of balloons and dumped them in the office, had sparkles EVERYWHERE, parked willy-nilly all over the parking lot so no one else could park, dumped water on the principal, overturned chairs in rooms that weren't locked and had a car blasting in the front entrance!

 This was just one sweep of the sparkles everywhere!

 Cars parked crazy

And a Jack and Beau selfie

Megan's Academic Letter Night - 4.0

 Megan got to attend the Academic Letter night for getting a 4.0 for the first 3 quarters of the year!  She got her Heritage "H" letter for it and the academic pin!  So proud of her!

House Hunting with Mom Mom and Pappy

 Mom Mom and Pappy are moving to West Virginia to be closer to Matt, Tiff, Dan, Me and the kiddos!  Before they do, we get to help them look at houses...a lot of houses! 

 Dan and Kylie drove out to look with them and then grabbed some BK!

At the foot of our bed

 

 In the basement snuggling while Jack plays xBox

 Asleep with Daddy

 Snuggled on the couch

 In the shade on a hot day

 Carrying his skunk around

 Asleep on our bed

 At Grandad's

 Pitiful dropped his cat

 Not supposed to be on our sheets

 Corner of the bed, so he's not on our sheets

Cooling off on the sidewalk

 

 Too hot - laying down in the shade

 Snuggled with me in the morning

 Sprawled out on the couch

 So comfy

 Hiding under pillows

 Snuggling Moopert

 More shade for a hot dog

 On the end of the sofa

 Right near Jack

 Laying on blankets

Helping Daddy do push ups!
