Last Volleyball Game

Bonner's volleyball team started out strong with lots of wins and then they hit a losing streak which didn't sit very well with Bonner.  But they did end up being the best of the lower bracket so they got to play in the tournament and actually made it to the final game in their division.  They got crushed the first game, but rallied back to win the 2nd game.  Unfortunately, they lost the 3rd game in a close one; but, the whole experience was wonderful for her and she absolutely loved it!

Here's a picture of her team after the game - smiling, but barely!

Coach Sene and his wife, Susan, were the coaches!

Great start to her volleyball career!

Pumpkin Patch with Joyce

Joyce's church, Holy Cross Episcopal, does the pumpkin patch in downtown Simpsonville so the kids and I met her down there so they could pick out some pumpkins!  They had this awesome area set up for picture taking!

We just love Joyce being so close!  We are able to spend lots of time with her and make special memories like this!

Ham vs. Turkey

Ian and I were driving home one night and we saw this sign.  Ian said "If it was a Ham Festival, I would definitely go!"  It took me a minute, but then I realized what he thought the "Turkish Food Festival" was for!

Bonner's Eye Appointment

Bonner mentioned a few weeks ago that she can't see the board at school anymore so I called my new friend & optometrist, Sherri Rast, to see if she could see her.  I tried to explain to Bonner what it would be like and it was a great appointment.  I did feel bad that she was reading off the letters and lots of them were wrong.  Once Sherri got the lens correct for her to see through, Bonner actually said, "Oh, that last letter is a B!  I can see it!"  Mother of the Year right here!

Got a little nervous waiting!

But it became clear in the middle of this process....

that she definitely needed these!

Boosterthon 2018

Another terrific Boosterthon is in the books and I was so busy running around that I didn't get hardly any pictures of the kids.  For the 4th and 5th graders, they actually get to have the Color Run which is super fun and super gross!

From Bonner's Class (back to front):

Sophia Sibil, Gilly Adams, Briget Parker, Sadie Kenefsky (with her eyes closed), Bonner, Kariella Thrasher, McKensey Eubanks

Ian wanted goggles to protect his eyes!

And because the kids looked like Lexi covered in color, I had the blower to get them clean!
