Love the voice...!

Trace Adkins

Wynonna...bring your mom to work day!

It's a Judd reunion!

Martina McBride

When I grow up I want to be Martina McBride! (Carter recorded some video of Martina but it will take me a little longer to get that posted. Check back here a litle later!)

Ronda and Carter go Country!

Three sons...and a friend!

The boys and Scott and I ate at Barbara's Home Cooking tonight...great meat and three on Old Hillsboro Road with yummy food if you haven't tried it yet! We were on our way to watch Garrett play ball, who had already gone off with some of his team. Of course we can't travel with less than four, so we added Grant's friend Ben Craig!

Nothing better than a pool in the summer time!

Not everybody feels the need to be in a gym all summer long! Grant has the right idea as he and his friends Ben and Gracie are keeping it cool in the pool! (Of course I had to be there to keep an eye on them!) This picture was taken on my cell phone - which had just been to the bottom of the pool the day before! Second phone in less than a month that I have tried to drown one way or another. This one seems to be a little more water proof than the first! But since the picture taking seems a little blurry and the light has gone out on the screen I think I am going to have to sneak over to T-Mobile and buy another one! Maybe it's time to buy a little phone insurance!

The agony of defeat!

While Clint was happily celebrating his victory on Sunday, by Monday night the outcome was not as bright for Garrett and his summer league team The Fury. You can see the look of frustration on both Garrett's face and the faces of their fans on the bench! (Is that the look of frustration on Scott and Phil's face? or total boredom!)

Garrett Hoops it up!

I am determined to figure out how to take good basketball pictures! Garrett says the reason they are turning out so blurry is because the boys are all so fast! Hmmm...I'm still thinking it might be the photographer!

Tournament Champs!

Clint and his summer AAU team played in their fifth tournament this weekend making it all the way to the championship game Sunday afternoon with a hard fought win to become tournament champs! Clint and his Middle School team had also been in Lipscomb's team camp since Wednesday which made this Sunday's game their 13th in five days! Think they could use a break? Nope! Straight to a two day, six game team camp in Franklin on Monday and Tuesday! Good thing we LOVE basketball!

Need photography classes!

Help! I have been trying as hard as I can to take pictures of basketball games...where I spend 95% of my time...but have yet to figure out how to catch anything but a blur! Major team camp going on right now...about to head out the door for yes my sixth game of the day...I will keep trying to capture the action but no one seems to want to stop in the middle of a fast break and pose for my pictures! If you have any suggestions, call me!

DL Colts make it to Championship game in tournament!

Grant's team made it all the way to the Championship game in a double elimination tournament this past weekend, only to lose their final game 11-10. It was probably one of the most fun baseball years we have had! This first picture is my personal favorite from the whole year. To see more of Grant and his team you can check them out in the DL Colts blog. Now that the season is over, what am I going to take pictures of?!

City of Chicago

Architectural Tour in May

Il Divo

While in Chicago, Mimi and I went to see Il Divo in concert! I tried to record while we were there, but I just couldn't capture the real beauty of their voices, so I have added one of their songs from the concert - previously recorded to YouTube - for you to listen to if you have never heard them. (Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of the page and turn off the music player first.)

Mimi and Ronda go to Chicago!

Stay tuned for scenes from the architectural tour...scenes from the "shopping spree" cannot be shown in order to protect the guilty parties!

Garrett takes his "Final Walk"!

Fourth graders take their final walk around the elementary school as they will move on to the Middle School building for 5th grade. Music filled the halls as parents, students and teachers all came out to wish farewell and Good Luck to this years 4th grade class! Schools out for the summer!

Art Work by Carter...

Some of you may not know that Carter is, along with his many other talents, very artistic. Here is a picture of his most recent drawing...which I love!

You can never have too much basketball!

Since it seems to have rained every day for the past two weeks, we decided to take our game back indoors and spend the weekend at a basketball tournament at USBA. Both Garrett and Clint's teams participated (1 game Friday night, 7 games total on Saturday! and 2 Sunday), with Garrett and his team, the Fury, winning the championship in their 10/11 year old age bracket. Way to play G-dawg! Clint's team made it all the way to the championship game Sunday afternoon...winning with 6 seconds left to go, only to get beat by a last second 3-point shot.

8th Grade Blessing...

Each year at the end of Middle School, David Lipscomb holds a special service to celebrate and bless the eighth grade class as they move on to the next chapter of their lives. Faculty and parents give their blessings through scriptures, songs, prayers and favorite memories and present the class with certificates of graduation. After the service, Clint and his friends spent the evening eating dinner, watching a video of their years together and remembering all the fun they have had in Middle School!

To our Clint..."May He give you the desire of your heart and make all your plans succeed." Psalm 20:4

High School Basketball Banquet

Last night was DL High School's Basketball Banquet. Players were recognized and memories of the season were recaptured. The team finished 26-7 overall. They were District Co-Champs, Region Champions, Sectional Champions, and made it to the State Elite 8 Tournament. It really was an exciting year with several last second buzzer-beaters, overtime victories, and even a 22-point comeback win in the playoffs! During the season Carter was named to the All-District Team, the All-District Tournament Team and the All-Region Tournament Team. We are so proud of him!
