Busy Summer

 June 14th - Kashton goes to camp. He's wearing the white t-shirt.

Kashton went to back-to-back camps. He went to one and got home on Friday at noon. Turned around and left that afternoon for another!

These pics are from the first one. I don't have any of the other group. Some of these kids were also on his baseball team.

June 18th - I went to a friends for an afternoon of crafting. She lives where she frequently sees wildlife of all kinds. Especially deer and Canadian geese. I got to see a doe with twin fawns.

Have a good one!

Not So Terrible Parable 061424

Kaston and Korin both participated in SMAK (Summer Music Activities for Kids) hosted by First Baptist Church. Kennedy was a helper. The Church has hosted this since Vanessa was little! It's like a Vacation Bible School except the kids learn a musical in 5 days!

Korin is on the back row just to the right of the left screen. Kashton is behind the man sitting in front of me. The man moves ever so slightly and you can see Kashton for a short time.

Pictures after the performance.

The kids did a fantastic job!

Have a good one!

Sunflower

 I had a sunflower sprout in my flower bed. I didn't plant it. I think a bird carried seed from the backyard feeder and dropped it. It is HUGE!

Sunflowers just make me smile!

Saw this beauty land on the sunflower.

Have a good one!

Doyle Honored 052124

 There has been much controversy over decisions the city council of Mineral Wells has made concerning water for the future of our city. There is a radical conservative group that received funding from outside our county to try to recall 3 of our city council and backed candidates for the seats that were up for re-election. The good news is the city council for the most part remained intact. The only one who didn't survive is Doyle. He had one more year left to finish his term. Many including Doyle and I were disappointed. We both felt he had more to do. However we both knew that God had something else for him we just didn't know what. He plans to serve the city in some form or fashion.

The City Council wanted to present Doyle with a plaque and asked him to attend the scheduled meeting to receive it.

Mayor Regan Johnson presents Doyle with the plaque thanking him for his service from May 2017-May 2024.

In Field Home Run

 Kashton's game May 20th, he got an in field home run.

Good hit and a good catch!

Have a good one!

Dance Recital 051124

 Kennedy and Korin were both in dance recital. Kennedy had a knee injury that prevented her from
dancing in competition but she was better enough to perform in the recital.

Korin is on the second row.

It was really hard to get pictures during this performance because of low lighting.

Kennedy's knee brace is very obvious in this routine.

Another great performance by all the girls.

Have a good one!
