Shirts - BE

 Levi thought of this idea for a charity softball game he was in. My shirt says "Base Bid" and all the kids have shirts that say "Change Order" with their birth order. 


Maybe our Christmas card look this year......


Coraline is 10!

Coraline is TEN! Can you believe it? 

She decided for her day - 
Biscuits and Gravy for breakfast
Lunch at Red Lobster
Trip to Hobby Lobby
Minecraft Time
Homemade Lava Cake
Extra Special Treat from the Wallace family - Crumbl cookies

To the one and only that flipped our life upside down and made us switch gears.  
Cheers to being at home for TEN years. What a blessing. 



 Grandpa Ashby found her most requested item - newest bracelet making kit. Clairana has had one that is very similar for years.

 Trip to Hobby Lobby - she picked out fake flowers for her new flower boxes to go on the 'cat barn' aka our shed.

 Crab for lunch!

 New outfit and boots from grandparents. Bows were from Clairana

 Levi and I got her tickets to see Lindsey Stirling in November.

 New Gabb Watch! 

 Fancy puzzle from the Ashby family!

Clairana - boating


The Hayman and Clayton family took girls from church out to a day on the water. Clairana enjoyed tubing and racing on the jet skis. Everyone was impressed with how well she can stay on a tube - that's what you get for being a kid that goes boating more often than most or maybe a dad that tries to throw you off....

 Tubing!

Jet Ski Time!

He had such a great time with all the Young Men and their leaders.
