Um. Yeah. 3 Years Later???

I ran into a friend of ours a month or so ago. This friend asked why we haven't been blogging lately. "Lately?" Is that really the right word? When I logged in this morning and realized it had been 3 years.... WOW!

We are about to embark on another project of our renovation. But I guess some updates are in order.
Here we go!

2016-2017
The Boy's Senior Year
Senior Night
Little did we know how NO LONGER being Band Parents would change us! I think we may have been to one or two games since he graduated...
This awesome senior crew, band directors, and the entire "Badger Pride Marching Band," captured the FIRST Marching Band Championship! This band has continued with this honor EVERY YEAR SINCE! Arkadelphia has an awesome band program....can you tell???
Senior Night Soccer
He didn't play much through the season. But he did this night and played like I've never seen him play.


Awards and Walk Out Day.
Proud Ma, Dad and Sis!

December 2017
The Girl LPN Pinning


Then one year later...
December 2018
The Girl RN Pinning



Super proud of this young lady and what she has accomplished!

Many years ago, Mac and I were on a night ATV ride with a group of our friends. One of my all time favorite students, Jake, was on the ride with us. We had a great night! On the ride home, Mac asked me why Samantha couldn't find and bring home a guy like Jake. Well, several years later, she did!
SHE BROUGHT HOME JAKE!!!!
I cannot explain how happy we were! Jake became an instant part of the family. But along with Jake, we got this!
 Meet Jett! The little boy that stole our hearts....instantly!


Then Easter 2019 this happens.

Jake asked. She said yes! We got a son-in-law and grandson at once! Y'all...being Granny and Pap Mac is the greatest thing EVER!

THE Wedding
November 2019
Totally shocked I wasn't crying my eyes out.

This one is from her bridal session. It's my favorite. That veil!!!!

The new Jones family.


Our Jones Boys



All day shenanigans with this crew!

Who's the boss??? Cake cutting was interesting!

One final hug before walking down the aisle.

"She wants her grandaddy (Bubba) preaching the service."

When he tears up, you know your baby girl is in good hands!

YEP! He cried.

The motley crew!


Of course, a lot more happened in the past three years. But these were the big highlights!
Oh yeah! And this...



Delilah doesn't like the water but want to be with us. Captain Delilah loves her boat!

NOVA! Our sweet grand dog.

Where is the hot summer??? These two are ready!
