Swimming with Blake

Today I filmed Blake playing in Granny's pool with his mommy! He didn't like it much at first, but after a few minutes he began to enjoy it more!

My Father!

Not many people can say that they have wonderful parents. However, I am so blessed to be able to do so!! I am so lucky to have parents who are still married and who give so abundantly to their family and friends! My father is such an exceptional man! The quality that I admire the most about him is his faith. There is not a time in my life that I can remember that Daddy did not share his love of Jesus Christ with our family and those around him! What a beautiful testimony. Such passion for the salvation of everyone around him! Thank you Daddy for you love to me and our family, your hard work to help provide for our family, and you exemplary example in our community!! I love you!

Loretta Lynn Trail Ride

May 30th to June 6th, Paul spent the week riding Shadow at the annual Loretta Lynn Trail Ride at her ranch in Tennessee. There were many riders there from around the country. He met people from as far away as Texas. You know Paul, never met a stranger! The ride was kicked off with a concert by Loretta herself. She is pictured on the left in the red dress. The trail ride began on Monday and then everyone packed up and headed their ways Saturday. Three meals were provided each day. Paul had a great time and looks forward to keeping in touch with the new friends he made.

Blake turns 2!

Blake and his family enjoyed sharing his second birthday together! His Mommy and Daddy bought him a new swing set! He opened several gifts and lots of cards! He especially liked blowing out his candle. He was having so much fun on his new slide, it was hard to come in and eat cake! Mimi and Grandaddy gave him money for his swing, new clothes, books and a stuffed dog.
