Michael graduated at 9:00 am on Friday, May 11th from Marine boot camp in Parris Island, SC. It was an honor and privilege to witness such a special event. We are so proud of Michael! I'm glad the boys were able to experience this memorable occasion.

After the "Emblem Pinning" Ceremony Michael was allowed to show us around the base. The footprints are where the recruits stood when they stepped off the bus upon arrival to Parris Island. We were able to see his barracks and the obstacle courses.

Spring Break

It's been a while since I've posted, but we have been EXTREMELY busy. The boys were on spring break the week of April 16th-20th and we stayed at Lake Eufaula the whole week. We had to come home Tuesday night for ballgames and just spent the night at home since it was so late when they were over. We had reservations thru Saturday but Logan had a game Friday night so we just came on home. Harold, Jr,. Valorie and Zachary came up Thursday night and stayed til Saturday and pulled the camper home for us. Shane, Stephanie, Colby and Courtney camped right behind us so the kids had a great time since they had someone besides each other to play with. Logan fished from the shore soon after we got there and caught a fish within 5 minutes! I'm still new at this, but I'm going to try to post a few pic's without taking up so much room...

Logan's 1st game was at 2:30. He is still very much into baseball...he definitely gets his talent from his Daddy. MawMaw even made it to the game!
