Words and Music Night at the Country Music Hall of Fame!

My Clint wrote a song for a Country Music Hall of Fame contest...and was chosen as one of the winners! His song was put to music by Nashville songwriter, Jeff Dayton, and they performed it together on Tuesday night at the CM Hall of Fame "Words and Music Night"! At first Clint was a little unsure...ok...he was ALOT unsure!...about getting on stage and singing! But after a little encouragement from me, and Jeff, he agreed to give it a try! And I think he did fantastic! I, however, was horrible at video taping and am still waiting on my friend to come show me how to transfer it from her recorder to my blog! So...as soon as that happens, I will put the video on here. But for now, here are some pictures of the big night! Congratulations, Clint!! We are so proud of you!

Some of Clint's friends came to support him! Anna Arney...



and Reese Gwin! Thanks for sharing a special night with us!

Carter and Callie Rae!

Carter and Callie at Ezell Harding's Jr/Sr. (Carter had been out of town at the Final Four and Callie was in a softball tournament on the night David Lipscomb had theirs...so I was glad they still got a chance to have a "Senior Banquet" experience!) The banquet was held at Opryland's SpringHouse Golf Course with pictures made at the Opryland Hotel...

Titans Draft Day Party

We are so fortunate here to have wonderful friends for our boys. I never cease to be amazed at their generosity in included members of our family in some of their fun adventures. Tonight was no exception, as one of Grant's friends, Sam, asked him to join them at LP Field for the Titans Draft Day Party. Meeting old and new players, hanging out with the cheerleaders, and even swinging by Coach Fisher's office was just some of the fun to be had! Thanks Marc and Sam!!

Tim Tebow comes to Lipscomb!

Saturday night Tim Tebow, a Heisman Trophy winner and two-time National Champion as quarterback for the University of Florida, spoke to a sellout crowd of 5,500 at Allen Arena on the Lipscomb University campus for the second annual "Don Meyer Evening of Excellence". The speech was the culmination of a full day of activities, including a special treat for us...a luncheon for Athletic Department staff and their families. At the luncheon, all those attending where able to see Tim up-close and personal as he took pictures with staff families and talked and answered questions. His dedication to his faith and his willingness to boldly speak out for what he believes in was an inspiration to everyone who was in attendance. Gator fan or not, you couldn't help but be a Tebow fan by the time the night was over!

Family Pictures

Last night we had our family pictures made for the church directory. Somehow we managed to find a night when all six of us had nothing else planned...not an easy thing to do! (I think the last time we had a family picture made was...three, maybe four years ago!) And I love that I now have a really fun one of all four of the boys before Carter goes off to college! The first one is definitely my favorite!
