6 years and 5 months - you started 1st grade and had your 5th hospital stay


Happy 6 years and 5 months!
You LOVE being six and remind everyone often that you are six. It's so cute. You love school and you love being able to show Bennett around. You are a good big brother! :) 

You started 1st grade at Walnut Grove Elementary. You are in Mrs. Strickland's class. You went to open house...








































Dee Dee picked you two up from JoJo's on your last day before school started...


We went to Target to get candy for the movies! 


We went to see the new Lion King movie! 


You love to hold Thomason and he loves for you to hold him! :) 


Your first day of 1st grade! I loved watching you run up the driveway to see me. You picked out your outfit. You are very opinionated! LOL 


Mercy! You two are so cute! 



I love when you give big smiles! :) 


You adore your Mommy! 


I love that I'm able to go with y'all to school on your first day...



The first day is a little cray cray! HA! 


Your Dad went to this school when he was your age. That's so funny to Dee Dee! 


You are Mr. Independent and I think it's precious! 


You are so big and so analytical and so independent! I love that your teacher had a sign for you! :) 


Mrs. Strickland! Dee Dee is super excited for you to have a "girl" teacher! LOL 


Big hugs but ready for your first day...



I rode with your Mommy to pick you up on your first day... 


We went to Bruster's after school for ice cream! 


The Friday after school we went camping at Unicoi State Park... not our favorite park but lots of fun! You love to help your Dad set up and to help Pops when we're packing up! I LOVE how you want to know how to do everything! 


You are a campfire boy! Too cute! 


SOOOO cute how much you love to fish with your Dad! 




We went to Anna Ruby Falls... not the most exciting place but I love adventures with you. You love to run ahead with me and be the leader! :) 



You LOVE your Dada and you want to be just like him. It's precious! 



We stopped to get peanuts...you're a fan! 


We needed firewood for our campfire and like anything else... you are the biggest helper! 


Looking for worms to go fishing with....


We had a torrential rainstorm and couldn't get the campfire started... so when your Mommy wants a smore you resort to using the grill! hahahaha


Helping Pops dump! 



You would pick fruit over sweets any day of the week...




I'm always impressed with your bravery! You said, "I'm going to do a back-flip" and off you went! ha! 



You love the pool and I love that you do! 




Dee Dee found y'all some gummy pizzas! SO fun! 



You couldn't wait to color your paw for the wall at school...


I LOVE when you ask to snuggle with me... melts this Dee Dee's heart! 


By the end of the day... you could tell you were getting sick! :( 


Trying to snuggle with Pops and watch Ice Age but not feeling well! 


You woke up with a fever and Mommy was worried about you...


Not many things get you "down!" 


Trying to do homework with Mommy but your tummy was really hurting! 


You were throwing up what looked like diarrhea. Your Mommy called Dr. S and she told you go to to CHOA ER!  




Not a fun way to spend a Friday night but so glad Mommy brought you! 



You have PICC line PTSD! It hurts my heart! 




They needed to put an IV in...


and you needed an ultrasound and an x-ray! 


They needed to confirm you didn't have a ruptured appendix or a blocked intestine! 



Thankfully they brought you some legos to play with...




Your Mommy rocks! 



ALLLLLLLLL the students and residents will wear you OUT! 


Enough is enough and they decided to keep you over night! 


All you wanted was Chipotle... They made you wait a few hours before you could eat it and then you could only eat 2-3 bites but you were still a happy boy! 


On the CF floor with your Mommy! 


You took advantage of being in the hospital when it was time to eat on Saturday! ha


Mommy got you a prize for being so brave! 


Thankful for feeling better so we could swim on Sunday. Your eyes are still weak...


Dee Dee got in the pool and Pop's wanted to document it. I was glad he did! :) 



You LOVE to play games and Sorry is your game of choice right now...


We have so much fun riding the golf cart...


Catching butterflies and frogs and tadpoles is still your favorite thing...


I love to pick y'all up from school....


You're used to being the only one I pick up! hahahaha



We went downtown to Monroe for ice cream and "coffee!" 



You were so impressed with the bear they made on your "coffee!" 


Y'all wanted to color before we left...




We went for ice cream and you got candy. ha! 





The sour dare! LOL 


The kids at church made cards for you! SOOOO sweet. You loved it! 



We sat on the driveway and looked through them all...





You were especially excited about this one from Bella! 


Mommy and I went to have lunch with you for the 1st time...


Your excitement made me tear up...




You wanted your friends in the picture. Too cute. The para-pro told your Mommy that you were a "breath of fresh air" and SOOO good in the lunchroom. We are SO proud of you! 




You were super excited to know that it was KONA ice time at recess next! 


I love that you are silly with your friends...


Your teacher sent your Mommy this picture! Ahhhhhh! SOOOO cute! 


Someone broke into Pop's truck and busted his windows. We went to get a rental car! 


Y'all wanted to go into Enterprise and HAD to get some water! hahahaha


You stayed with Pops and played while me and Mommy and Nelly shopped in Monroe... you love to play the guitar! 



You and Mommy and Dada and B went to ride bikes on the Silver Comet trail! SOOO fun! 



Y'all went to the Battery for pizza at Antico's too! You and B ran through the sprinkler. 



Y'all also got to play on the Chattahoochee! Your Mom noticed that you were hot and your fever was back! :( You missed Monday and Tuesday of school again. We sure are praying that you will get well and stay well. 





You lost another tooth on August 27th... You were pretty excited to know where the tooth was for the tooth fairy. Your Mommy said you had SO many questions about the tooth fairy. haha


 Mommy said you wanted to be a "walker" and Dee Dee aims to please. You were pretty excited! :) 


You are getting SO old and SO sassy! LOL 


Dee Dee's rule is... If it's 90 or older... it's too hot to be outside, so B gets to watch Ice Age again. haha! You are quick to remind him when it's cooler... we are going outside! HA  You love to play games on my I-Pad! 



You are so sweet and so cute and so much fun! You bring us all so much JOY! You NEED to understand things. You asked your Mommy so many questions this month about dinosaurs and WHY?!?!??! You need things to make sense! You need to know the why of everything from your health to just about anything you can think of. I LOVE that! You are counting by 10's. You have legit homework and spelling tests. :) You are NOT a fan of sweating outside in the heat but you get cold pretty quickly too. ha! You love running and jumping and playing games! You still LOVE Chipotle and pizza! You can't wait for Dee Dee and Mommy to take you to paint pottery this month. You love to draw and are really good at it. I'm grateful I get to watch you grow and that you LOVE to come to see me. I can't wait to see what September holds. 



Prayer Requests - 

* Weight gain - you haven't eaten the best since you've been sick this month! 
* Wisdom regarding a feeding tube if needed...
* Lungs to stay healthy and for this to be a FLU-free year for our family and especially YOU! 
* For you to make wise choices at school and to pick good friends! 
* For you to do well in school
* For your understanding of who Jesus is to become real in your life
* For your understanding of WHAT "CF" is...


Your Dee Dee couldn't love you more! I pray you will have an awesome month! I can't wait to experience some fun things with you this next month. 

Happy 6 years and 5 months sweet Aspen!
