Weekend fun

February 4, 2025

Spencer and Robert weren’t the only ones that had fun this past weekend! I drove over to Nashville for a quick 24 hours. We hit up the Antiques & Gardens show…

and then also went to the Kelsea Ballerina show. I didn’t know a single song at the show but that didn’t matter – it was especially fun with Keith Urban joined her on stage!

Meanwhile back at home, Samantha and her crew were taking full advantage of the pretty Saturday riding all around the neighborhood and even hitting up Starbucks on their bikes. Can’t beat that!

and Maxwell went up the Lovelady Center with a group to volunteer and make valentines with kids that stay there. A great way to spend the morning!

Spencer managed to still squeeze in a sleepover even after the shoot.

Of course there was also baseball and basketball all weekend too. Never stops!

Would love to hear from you! 1 Comment

Knee

January 31, 2025

Samantha also got a pair of kid sized crutches for her birthday – ha!

knee

She’s been wanting them ever since I got crutches about 3.5 weeks ago after having knee surgery! I never really used my crutches but she had fun playing on them and wanted some her size. My surgery was pretty easy – torn meniscus and a surprising chipped bone. I was in and out in a day and walking the next day. All is healing well. I’m doing PT and hoping to be back on the tennis court soon! I timed my surgery just right – two days after the snow storm hit and the temps have been so cold that there’s been no tennis to play anyway!

Make it a great weekend!

Birthday

January 30, 2025

We celebrated Samantha all day long on Monday!

StarB’s for breakfast of course!

Off to school!

I then went up to school at her lunch time with CFA for her and cookies for her class. She wasn’t having a good day. I’m not really sure what was wrong but she was super sad and teary. I think she just had a case of the birthday blues so I checked her out, brought her home to rest, and she was good as new a few hours later! She even went to tumble and landed that tuck multiple times! That night we picked up Zoe’s and opened lots of presents!

As evidenced in these photos, she was VERY excited about them all!

Happy Birthday Samantha!

I hope all your wishes come true!

Friday Funday

January 28, 2025

Samantha’s birthday might have been yesterday, but last week was Friday Funday for her!! She headed to school looking cute…

and was very surprised when I checked her out extra early for a little surprise! She knew she was getting her ears pierced for her 10th birthday but she thought we were going on Saturday. But I thought it would be really fun for her to have them pierced for a special event Friday night so I just let her play a little hooky from school and we headed to Rowan at the Summit!

She was pretty excited…and a little nervous!

About 5 minutes later the pink gems she picked out were in her ears! Hooray!

So happy and so grown up!

While we were there I thought I might as well get in the chair too!

Two for her, one for me! I’ve had my left ear double pierced for a while so got my right one done as well.

Love celebrating TEN in all the ways!

Girls are so fun!

After the ear piercing we headed to get her a haircut and blow out for her big date that night!

Friday Funday for sure!
