Cub Scouts

In addition to baseball two nights a week, Sam has started Cub Scouts and Brian is the Den Leader. The boys are having a really good time and learning a lot.




Dawgs vs.(Miss. State) Dogs


We took Brice to his first UGA football game last weekend. It was fun and our seats were great! I've got a picture of the boys with Hairy Dawg that will be posted soon After the game Brian and I tailgated while the boys played football in the parking lot.




I love these...settin' up the play!








This in one Auburn grad who LOVES her bulldawgs!!

More baseball


It wouldn't be a baseball night if Brice weren't eating a sandwich for supper in the dugout. He's such a good sport and CANNOT wait until he's playing ball too!

L-R: Bailey, Grey, Cooper, Sam, Dane, Blake, Sutton, Caleb, Gunn, Zack
Coaches: Seth, Chris & Brian

GrandPals//Heroes Day

Today was GrandPals//Heroes Day at Sam's school. It was extra special for us because Sam was selected out of all the 1st graders to read what he wrote about his hero - Papa! My daddy. He wrote:



My Hero


by Sam Whitley


My hero is my Papa. He helped the National Guard. He helped America good. He loves America a lot. And he helped me and he loves my family too.

I didn't tell Daddy exactly what Sam was doing, just that it was special and Daddy really shouldn't miss it. Well, needless to say, he was speechless and brought to tears when he heard Sam read that - in front of the entire school plus all the military and emergency response special guests.


His paper laying on the ground, he's reading over it one last time.


We practiced some over the weekend and Sam read loudly & clearly!
