Happy 8 1/2 years sweet, Aspen! I simply can't believe you are 1/2 way to 9.
You've changed a lot this month. You've become even MORE independent... if that's possible. You seem like "one of the big guys" these days. You are sweet and you can be very stubborn. You are artistic but a great athlete. Everything you touch seems to be "your thing!" You love all things outdoors. You love to hunt and fish and ride your bike. You love to climb anything you can find. You love to play with Sam - our neighbor and Bennett. You love Truett and are really good with him. You love to help with anything you can. You are loving school but it's also taking some time to get used to. Your Mama is doing such an awesome job with you and B. She's working full time too. You still LOVE you some jerky 😉 and milkshakes. You love sushi and steaks and all kinds of fruit. You have stopped loving wings. 😲 That's been a shocker. You are friendly and talkative. You are doing much better at expressing why you may be upset or mad. You love to create things or make things out of just about anything you can find. 💙 You can beat the adults at Mario and love to challenge Pops at Mario golf.
You are my mini-me! Twinsies as we call it. We have a lot in common. I think it's the cutest thing.
You started your month drawing. You have a drawing pad and do really well.
You are learning the art of sarcasm. LOL I LOVE to watch you really chuckle. We're playing Mario and you thought something was hilarious! Sometimes you'll say... "Sorry 'bout your luck!" 😆
You didn't want to miss a photo opportunity with Truett so you were sure to pop in! 🤣
Nelly brought watermelon and we ate it all! We love us some watermelon!
You love you a fruit roll-up too! I just bought my last box though. Your Mama wants to cut out red dye and I totally agree.
Clinic day and you are NOT a fan. You had a long week. You had to go to the eye doctor and to get a CT scan. You also had clinic. AND!!!! You were involved with research at this clinic. What a crazy week.
You had a liver ultrasound as you are getting ready to take Trikafta.
Clinic lasts all day today between research and seeing the doctor and nurses and nutrition and so many more people! You were NOT a fan of getting an IV. Your Mama said you sort of lost your mind. ha! You said it wasn't so bad after all. Your Mama tried to talk to you about it ALL week to prepare you and you still freaked out! LOL
Poor buddy. It hurts my heart to see you sad!
You had to have blood drawn once an hour. Your glucose test came back ok. Your liver studies were AMAZING! Your eyes were good. Your CT scan came back wonderful and Dr S says it actually looks better than the last scan. What a PRAISE!!! 💜
Your PFT's were 102. YAY! You grew but lost a little bit of weight. 🥺 Dr S said sometimes Trikafta causes weight gain and sometimes it doesn't. If it doesn't help you gain weight, she will discuss G-tube options in December. I sure am praying for wonderful results with your new medicine. It's getting close!!
Passing time...
You wanted a balloon after your visit. Your visit makes your Mama a little crazy! 😂
You really love playing ball and are really good at it too!
Almost every day involves catching a frog...
I LOVE when I come outside in the afternoon and you tell me stories of your day! You are actually telling me about catching a frog. SO cute.
You and Pops played a game of corn-hole
Sitting in our new camper. I hope we can take you on a camping trip one day!
SO exciting. You got to go dove hunting this year for the first time. SOOO cute!
They fed y'all ribs! YUM!
I'm not even sure how you know how to clean a dove but you were like a PRO!
Our final swim of the season - Labor Day!
I love you SO much!
Playing with your BB gun!
I love to ride with you on the golf cart! You drive it all by yourself these days (with me of course)
Working on your bike 😉
Sunday nights are family nights!
Helping Pops pick up sticks! I love that you helped him!
Frogs are your friends! 😆
Working with Pops down at the road...
Pops had a hard time getting this vine down so you just played Tarzan! 😜
You and Sam explore all over our yard!
You love when your Dad takes you fishing after work...
You and your Mama and Daddy went to Lake Varner to fish and have a picnic...
Pops got a new kayak and we went to test it out. You love to skip rocks!
I LOVE when I'm chilling on the porch and I hear...."Dee Dee!!!!"
You drew me a picture for Grandparent's Day. You even made an envelope for it...
You know what I love....
Y'all drew me this picture! I can't wait to frame it...
All three of you love a good movie!
Sometimes you get sad if you don't get your way! You're working through how to deal with that. 💙
Sunday nights are fun!
I love this picture we made on Grandparent's Day!
Afternoon chill time = my favorite
You went with me and Pops to watch Thomason play t-ball!
You love to help!
After practice we went down to the lake for a few minutes!
We left and went to Chipotle for dinner. You were SO excited to get an adult meal!
If we are on the porch... you two love to come up and visit. I think it's the cutest thing!
You drew me a picture of the hummingbirds on the porch! 💛
Watching Outdoor Boys with Pops!
Pop's watched you shoot frogs in the creek! 💙
Sitting down and talking to your Mama!
We went to Vogel camping. You fished all day...
You actually got some of these to eat! YIKES!
We didn't camp right next door like we usually do but we weren't far apart...
You love making s'mores
SEE!!! Always climbing and jumping! LOL
You grab your kayak and get out there like a PRO!
You love to catch and you love to "release!"
We saw this HUGE turtle...
You two watched a movie while we played cards!
About to eat the cricket! Look how old you look! You are growing and changing so quickly!
You love to help and are SO strong. They even said that at your CF clinic visit - that your strength was well above your age.
We stopped for ice cream on the way home...
You rode with us. It was so nice outside that we let the windows down!
I sure do love you two!
Always pushing the limits! LOL
You don't get much I-Pad time but when you do... 😜
All ready for school. You are having some trouble with all that goes into telling time but you are doing so well overall.
We took you to Athens to get some BB's and for Thai!
I let you get a couple of fishing things!
You are SILLY!
Your chain has been falling off your bike! Pop's is trying to fix it...
An afternoon playing with Sam!
I made a video of you for Rose Up - the old Wish For Wendy fundraiser. You always do SO well!
I love to watch y'all laugh!
It's the start of your Dad's 35th birthday week! We went to Bass Pro...
Your Mama has the best "heart to heart" talks when needed...
You loved seeing the fish!
Getting some flies....
We went to the Buford Dam... such a beautiful day!
Pop's had one of this biggest heart to heart talks with you. You were mad that you didn't catch anything. He was trying to teach you how to respond. I hope you heard him. 💛
We went hiking in the Smoky Mountains. You three give the best send offs!
I love you to the moon and back and back again! You make my heart so happy. I am forever thankful that I get to watch you grow. I love watching you out the window. I love when y'all come up to say HEY! I love that I get to see you most days. I am so thankful.
We are still in the middle of this crazy pandemic. SO many people have lost their lives. We continue to pray for a hedge of protection around our family. So far we have all been free of COVID. I continue to pray for wisdom and knowledge for us all. Our country is in a mess! I pray for our leaders. The cool thing is right now... you have NO idea. I pray you will grow up in a FREE country like me and Pop's and your Mama and Daddy.
Welcome October! We are SO excited to welcome you! 💛
Praying for a healthy month for us all !
