Well, it sure has been a nice two weeks having our favorite neighbors in town but, sadly, they leave today.

Even though lots of things are pretty hard right now, it’s always better when we get to see GJ every day!

Safe travels GJ and Daddo!
Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...

The weekend after Highlands the kids and I were back on the road for a quick visit to Naples for the 4th! Robert stayed home and played lots of golf. Everyone was happy! I didn’t take many pics but we did all of our favorite things. Pool and beach…

Made cookies…

Can you tell which one Maxwell made for himself?! ha!

We did have a little excitement – experimenting with Coke and Mentos and fun with fireworks!

A great 4th and a great trip to Naples as always!
The day after Maskers, the grownups went to the brunch. It was lovely.


Jenny got some good pics of the fam at the table!




After the brunch, this happened.



Yea, I don’t know either. Samantha the photog!
A great weekend all around!!
Lots and lots of professional pictures from Maskers!







During the presentation…






The perfect little curtsy!




Time to party!






Please look at me and Samantha in the background! ha!





Samantha was a princess in the Maskers ball a few weeks ago. The ball is usually around Valentine’s Day but…covid. Everyone shifted and the ball got moved to summer which worked out just perfect for us! Samantha rode down to Montgomery on Friday with Mary Beth and Margaret because Spencer’s baseball team ended up getting much farther in the tournament than we expected and Robert and I didn’t want to miss his game. A big thanks to MB for getting Samantha where she needed to be!

These girls had a blast together and Samantha didn’t miss us one bit. They both did great at rehearsal.




The next night we all put on our very best and had a fun and fancy night out!!



Is Samantha not the prettiest princess you’ve ever seen?! She was pretty excited about the flower crown!

It was fun for her and Margaret to get to be princesses together!


Love my pretty princess!


Everyone was looking sharp and ready for a fun night!

Samantha did perfect in the presentation – her curtsy was on point! After the presentation, it was time to party! Samantha asked for a Coke and then hit the dance floor where she boogied and twisted and twirled until 11:00 pm!! This girl loves a dance floor just like her momma!! It was so fun to watch her have so much fun!!



Royalty! ha!



Ronnie even took her up front and center to get a good view of the band…

All danced out!

What a wonderful night celebrating our princess!

At the stroke of 11:00, Cinderella left the ball!

I have lots more professional pics to share tomorrow. A huge thank you to Lulu and Granddaddy for making this happen! What a special night to remember!
