Beach Trip 2023 - June

 This year the whole FAM went to Gulf Shores together.  (We go every other year).  I feel like each year just keeps getting better.  We had SO MUCH FUN! We stayed 7 nights and ate at Lulu's, Acme Oysters, LA Lagniappe, and the Hangout. We played baseball on the beach, went crab hunting, spent tons of time in the pool going down the slide, and enjoyed making ALL the memories. We drove to Pensacola to watch the Blue Angels fly too. They were amazing! We watched the very first female pilot in the Blue Angels fly. She's made history.  

We also had professional pictures taken, which turned out amazing. 




























































































































Beyond thankful for this amazing trip with family.

ESE Fourth Grade Clap Out

 It's hard for me to believe that Reese's elementary days are behind her. When someone said "the days are long, but the years are short," they weren't kidding.  I'm still in denial that she's headed to middle school next year. 

Evening Star Elementary has been a God send. When we moved here from Little Rock almost 10 years ago, I knew the public schools were good. However, I had no idea how wonderful this school would be for my children.  Every teacher Reese had was incredible! From the principal, to the front office, to the specials teachers, we've been so blessed. Not only is Evening Star a place that feels like a second home for Reese and Brooks, but it's afforded them an excellent education and wonderful friends along the way. I am forever grateful for Reese's time here, and so thankful Brooks still has two more years. 😍




ESE does a clap-out for all the 4th graders on the last day of school to celebrate them. They parade through the halls and then out to the parking lot where parents and family tailgate. We made posters, played music and congratulated all of them for their accomplishments. Look out Brightfield Middle school, you've got one amazing crew headed your way. 














Don't ever forget YOU ARE LOVED!!
