Graduation Day!!!

On May 17th, my Dad graduated from Union University with a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting. He has worked so hard over the last few years going to school and working, and this last year he was a full-time student on top of being a full-time employer, husband, dad and PopPop X 3 (2 of which were born this last year!) We are so proud of him!!! Graduation Day was a full day of lots of fun as you can tell from the pics! We decorated Dad's car, the yard and the driveway and also were able to get together with lots of friends and family to have a reception to honor and congratulate him on his accomplishment!

Children's Museum in Memphis

While we were in Memphis during May we went to the Children's Museum. The kids had lots of fun and there was so much to do!

The boys got to play in the Toddler area where they could crawl around and chew on all kinds of stuff without being trampled by the big kids.



Aubrey got to learn about our teeth and which ones go where.

Sam in a UT hat - his daddy was so proud!

The boys checking it all out and snacking - what they do best!

Aubrey got to sit in the cock-pit of a Fed-Ex plane - their headquarters is in Memphis.


Aubrey learning all about the body - her daddy was so proud!



Aubrey going grocery shopping - she loves her seafood - she has expensive taste!




Aubrey played dress-up. There were some older kids there playing together and she really wanted to join in, but wasn't quite sure how to. So, she put on a tiger tail and started growling at them. It was sooo cute!
