Claire is on a "roll"

Well, today was Claire's 2nd tourney of the season and broke 80 for the 1st time!  She shot a 79 and placed 2nd overall!  She and her caddy Lance had a blast!!  She was unhappy with some putting, but I'm sure she will be hard at work on that tomorrow if I know my kid!  Way to go little one!!!

Quarantine Craftiness!

Mr. Hollingsworth, Lance's Dad, made this amazing golf ball display case for Claire this past week.  She was so surprised and thrilled to receive it!  And the very nexy day she put her game ball on the first tee....It now sits proudly on her dresser, front and center!

Mr. Hollingsworth used a jigsaw to cut this cute shape and Claire and I decided to fancy it up!  So much fun, and now we are going to attempt to decorate more fun shapes....trying to stay entertained around here!!!

Let the Golf Season begin!!!

Well, competitive golf has been on hold since March, and today US Kids held their 1st Memphis event of the season.....to major restrictions and guidlines of course.  Claire was able to have a caddy...Lance of course...but no spectators.....but apparantly she wasn't too rusty and played 2nd overall with an 85!  She had some rough putting and 1 blow up hole, but she knows where she needs to work on her game!  So proud of our little bit!! Go Claire Go!!!

Quarantine Family Pics....

Our sweet neighbor Ryan is looking for a way to earn a little extra cash and has time on his hands...So he used my family as his advertisement for his Quarantine Picture business....I hope he makes a little money...we had a great time coming up with the snarky signs!

My 19th Mother's Day

Well, the Lord blessed me with my 19th Mother's Day today....we started the day with a breakfast social distancing style at mom and dad's patio and it was perfect!  My brother Tommy served as the waiter so I didn't have to lift a finger and it was so nice to be waited on!  Thanks mom and dad for the delicious meal!

The kids and I in front of mom and dad's pond on this beautiful mother' s day!

Showing off our new shirts...Go Annabelle Go!

I woke up to the house all secorated by Claire and Jesse...it was so sweet!

I got a new crossbody tassel purse and tons of oragami hearts made by Claire....not to mention some new mini rain boots and some stuff for the deck!  

 And yes thise are rose petals all over the house that Claire laid down.....that's a first....my OCD cleanliness kicked in but I just smiled and was grateful.....

Thank you God for blessing me with these two!

Last Day of SFA...ever

Well, today was Claire's last day of SFA...ever.  Even though it was in quarantine, it is the end of such a huge chapter for our family.  SFA has been the best place for my kids these past 9 years and has done such a fine job with both Jesse and Claire....bittersweet day ......can't wait to see what the future holds for Claire!

Quarantine continues....

Jesse made this without a single video or instruction....its over 4 feet tall and hope I don't accidentally knock it down in the middle of the nght!

Because all things school have come to a halt, Claire was mailed this $100 check and certificate from the Knights of Colombus for winning the Tennessee State Council essay on the Virtue of Charity...it will be submitted on the international level now...proud of our little one!

14 in Quarantine!

Well, we had a social distancing gathering with our parents, but Claire's friends did a suprise Drive-By as the party was starting up!  Claire was so excited and thrilled to see them all....been a rough few weeks.  So our little bit turned 14 today and the weather was the best day ever, and she had a great day after all!  We used some old decor from a prior party, and just went with it!!  Fruity drinks and all!  We made individual Bundt cakes in strawberry, and coconut and they were all a hit!  She received some much needed calligraphy pens and a new calligraphy book....along with a new backpack and lunch box for high school, sideways cross necklace, Amazon Card, money, ear buds, Bluff City Soaps, and some monogrammed golf balls!!!  Who knew they made such a thing!!!  

Jesse made this and the back side is a bunch of minifigs that open up and they come off if needed....We love you so much Claire!  So sorry you have missed out on so much this year, but we love you so much for hanging in there!!!

I was just thrilled to be putting on something other than leggings!!!
