Graduation Weekend

It's been a weekend full of
Graduation Celebrations!
 Madison graduated from High School on Saturday and we
are so proud of our Honor Graduate!

 Bailey looks up to her Sissy!

 We love you, Madison!  
The sky's the limit!

 I've said it so many times and I'll continue to say it...
"She's beautiful inside and out!"

 Madison's boyfriend, Hunter also graduated earlier that morning!
We are so proud of you both!

Now on to the 
Graduation Party!!!!
 You can't have a party without a 
SNAPCHAT FILTER!!!

 My dear friend, Sara was a huge help with these decorations!
And another dear friend, Kendi & her mother, Teresa made this
beautiful graduation cake!  
Thank you ladies for making Madison's Graduation Party
a success!!!  
 Lots of pictures of our baby girl over the years!

 Gift table with her beautiful Senior Portrait by Potter Photography!

 This train case is my mother's!
She received it as a gift when she graduated high school.
How cute is it for the cards!!!

 Madison wants to teach kindergarten and I thought it would be cute
if her friends & family signed her very own copy of
Dr. Seuss's- Oh, the Places You'll Go!

 Not only was this cake beautiful, but also 
DELICIOUS!!!

 And these
 Maple Bacon Cupcakes were to die for too!!!

 In the South...we love Hot Dogs!!!

 Sweet friends!

 My lifelong friend, Laura with her precious kids!

 The Stroud Crowd came out to show Madison some love!

 Grandma Sandra & Madison share a special bond!

 We love the Ham Family!

 Sweet friends so excited it's finally summer break!!

 Avery & Mallory always smiles!!!

 Heather and I posing with the graduate!

 I've always heard you have a twin somewhere--
Well, Here is mine!!!
She's a great friend and encourager!!!

 Laura and her family are very special friends!

 Kendi posing with Madison!
We love Kendi and her sweet family!

 Grandma Sandra had a special gift for Madison!

 It was a beautiful Afghan she had crocheted. 
Such a sentimental gift Madison will always cherish!

 Everyone had lots of fun with 
the snapchat filter!!!

 So much fun at Madison's Graduation Party!
Thank you to all who came!

Sunday morning was
GRADUATION SUNDAY!
 We had 3 graduates to celebrate!

 Grandma Sandra came out for this special day!

 We are so thankful for Grandma Sandra and love
seeing her when we get the chance!

 We love this guy right here too, Pastor George!
He preached a great sermon to these graduates as they prepare for
the next chapter of their lives!

We love you, Madison and are so proud of you!

Just remember:
Make your Life Story a book you'd want to read...
One amazing chapter is coming to a close, and an 
exciting new one is about to begin!
Keep writing your story,
Keep following your HEART-
And Keep being your

A Little Bit of Everything!

Sweet Summer Time
is upon us and I couldn't be happier!!!
Bailey has been out of school for a couple of weeks 
and Madison will graduate high school on Saturday.
Where does the time go?
As it's been said so many times,
"The days are long, but the years are short."
If you need me I'll be in the fetal position crying non stop!!

Madison attended the Academic Banquet a few weeks ago and received
her chord for National Honor Society.  
Very proud of her!

Proud parents with our girl!


Bailey did great this year in 4th grade!
She received the Honor Roll all year and
a Spelling Award. 

Awards Day was also the last day of school.
Look how much she has changed!
5th grade here we come!!!

We celebrated Madison's 18th Birthday 
last week with her favorite food, Mexican of course!

 Is she beautiful or what?!?!

Madison's friend, Alison joined us in celebrating!!

I can't believe she is 18!

And....to prove she's 18, guess what she purchased??
Yes, Lottery Tickets!!!
I mean it is the so called, "Education Lottery"
Let's not make this a habit though!!!

On Sunday, we attended the Baccalaureate Service for
North Lenoir graduates.  

My beautiful graduate!

 We are so close to graduation and the emotions are really catching up with me!
Several of her classmates met at their elementary school to parade 
down the hallways while the students cheered them on!

It was bitter sweet thinking back to when she was in elementary school!
A very emotional day for this Mama!!!


They've been friends since elementary school and are planning
to attend the same college so praying they can keep each other straight!
It's been a joy to watch Austin grow up into such a handsome young man!

Bailey had to have a couple of teeth pulled today and she did great!
This girl is SLIME OBSESSED!!!
She makes it all the time and loves it!


This girl is growing like a weed too!

Who else is ready for the 
Dog Days of Summer???
I know we are!
Thanks for stopping by!
