Happy Anniversary!

Today is Randy and my 10th anniversary. Crazy how fast it has gone. I can't believe it. It's been a fun adventure. I can't wait to see what the next 10 years bring.
Unfortunately there will be no big fun celebration today - he's working in Minnesota this week. Bummer!
(The picture is of us at Brad and Ashton's wedding luncheon, I cropped out the kids so I could pretend we had a romantic dinner with just us. Maybe someday. Surely by our 20th we will get to try that.)



This is a picture of my parents with the grand kids (missing Jenna Kate) at Brad and Ashton's wedding. Ten years ago the only grand kid was Luke. Family parties are much bigger these days. Fun stuff.

Study Buddies

Randy and Caden are "studying" together. Sometimes there are advantages to being a lefty - you can study in the same chair as your Dad without bumping elbows.

Randy is applying to George Wythe University. He is taking an extension class called American Foundation this coming semester. They will be studying the founding documents such as The Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the Federalist Papers, and Tocqueville's Democracy in America. He is going to be pretty busy this next semester as he is also taking 4 credits from BSU toward his second bachelor's degree.

What a great example for the kids!

morning jam sessions

Here are a few pictures of morning fiddle practice. Everyone loves to jam with Dad! Dad can make everything more fun. Randy has been in charge of fiddle practice all summer - I love it! I hope he can keep it up when he starts his classes again this fall.
