Happy 10 years and 2 months sweet Aspen!
Goodness are you growing and changing every single week it seems. All of a sudden you are a tweenager without a doubt. A little bit sassy. A little bit testing the limits. A little bit between the world of a kid and the "grown ups!" I can't believe how quickly you are changing. Your Dee Dee is praying for you. I am praying for your choices, your health and even your wife - years from now. I'm also praying for these crazy times we are in - for you to stand out among the crowd and for you to NOT go with the flow but to chase after God. ❤️
We started out the month with your Mama making rabbit stew. You were a fan.
We went to the beach on May 1st and we stopped at Buccee's!
We rented this house last October and loved it so much we came back. This house will forever hold sweet memories. The house is on the lagoon and the ocean is across the street.
Y'all couldn't wait to throw the fishing poles!
You even snagged a fish for me to reel in! So sweet!
Oh me! You know how to get to my heart. You picked me a beautiful flower and I put it in water for the week... 💛
We rode a ferry over to Dauphin Island... SO FUN!
If you see a tree... you climb it!
This is the first beach trip in a long time that you didn't join me for sunrise. I wish I had gotten you up. We weren't sure where the sun was going to rise - turns out it was over Gulf Shores vs the ocean.
We love watching y'all fish!
You are so over kids menus. haha! You have a big appetite and no budget. hahahaha!
Dauphin Island was remote... You could walk for 8 miles with nothing!
We found some beautiful shells!
On the ferry on the way back to Gulf Shores...
Such sweet memories! I saw you walking with your Mama! ❤️
Your Dad and B stayed back... the 4 of us had so much fun!
You and B got a hermit crab!
We went to Alabama Point and you found a beautiful conch shell! You were SO excited.
Your Mama got y'all some crawdads
We got some ice cream on the way back home...
Buccee was at Buccees! ❤️
You found an injured bird!
I love when y'all come to visit. I see your sweet face in the camera at lunch many days!
You made this! SO creative!
Happy Mother's Day! Pops set up this beautiful area outside and your Dad and Nelly brought food...
It was a hot Mother's Day! The fan made your hair.... hahahahahaha
You love to drive the golf cart. You are really good. You drive me around the land. You wanted to park it and I let you. You were excited.
You and your sweet Mama!
We ended the day by going to Mellow Mushroom in Athens! Your Daddy gave you a wing and you loved it!
You lost a tooth!
Your Dad warned you that he was going to pay you back for getting him wet! hahaha 🤣
I love when you come up and hang on the porch with us!
Getting your hair cut for walk day! Look how old you look!
10 years - our 11th walk! 💜
Early morning in Suwannee! It was a cloudy and cool day! What a beautiful walk! Look at this sign! 💜
Mrs. Susie and Mr. Lenny! They love you and we love them too!
I made a video - Thank you for being a friend - Pops was showing it to our team!
Oh my heart! 💜
Dee Dee and Pop's good friends - Scott and Marsha...
Waiting for the big reveal $$$$
Our 2023 team
Dee Dee's friend Tanya. Her great niece was just born with CF
You brought me this yellow flower! I love it! 🥰
Your friends couldn't make the walk but you handled it like a champ!
I love that you can be so silly!
Pops gave me this beautiful frame with the last 10 walk pictures in it. What a treasure!
Beth joined our team this year! You are supposed to stay 6 feet away from someone else with CF. This picture says so much!
You have big wishes! I love this picture!
I got y'all a smoothie after the walk!
You are always building or making something!
Removing B from the porch! hahaha 😝
I love when you come up for lunch and just sit and talk...
Pops and your Daddy went fishing...
Hanging outside just the two of us... you are always working or doing something!
Pops was telling you that he shot a bird with his blowgun. You said nice... look at my balloon. hahahaha!
You went to pick up pottery and went by your Dad's work! SO cute!
Y'all found 2 big snakes in the shed!
You watch for a minute and then you need to help too! LOL
Taking the snake back to the barn...
❤️
Your Mama and Daddy went out for their anniversary! We ordered pizza and hung out!
You LOVE to follow behind on the golf cart and to cross over the driveways in the road!
First lightening bug of the year!
We spent the afternoon with Thomason and he came home with us!
We got ice cream!
We went to Helen for you and Pops and your Daddy to go fishing in Dukes Creek...
We stopped by Mellow Mushroom in Gainesville on the way home...
Happy 58th birthday, Pops!
Pop's favorite - banana pudding!
SO silly!
Playing corn hole...
Happy birthday to Pops!
Y'all played for hours!
It's been a great month! Florida. Cool temperatures. A cold and a slight cough but otherwise healthy. Mother's Day. Birthday. Anniversary - Happy 11th to your Mama and Daddy. SO many fun hours outside exploring.
Sometimes I think how much longer will you love to run and explore and play outside? I hope a good while. I love looking out the window and watching you explore our property. I love seeing your wheels turn in your brain - always making something and coming up with great plans.
You are creative. You are inquisitive. You are stubborn and determined. You are smart and can figure things out. You keep on trying. You would rather be outside than inside. You love to watch funny videos on the phone with Pops. You also love to look up - "what's the biggest - snake or alligator or x! ❤️
You have a clinic appointment next month. I sure am praying you have put some weight on. For clear lungs and so much more.
You are prayed for and you are loved to the moon and back and back again! ♥️ ♥️ 💛
