10 years and 3 months and SO independent

Happy 10 years and 3 months sweet Aspen! 💛 

You are adventurous. You are independent. You are stubborn. You are athletic. You are sure-footed. You are competitive. You are an outdoor enthusiast. You can figure anything out. You have an entrepreneur at heart. You love to make things. You LOVE fishing. You are a helper. You can have an attitude. You are learning how much you can "get away with"! You are a dreamer. You are my bobsie and proud of it. You are fun. You have a one-track mind like your Daddy. You can have a temper but also have such a sweet heart. I couldn't LOVE you more! 

You started the month trying to feed the "runt" of the litter. Your Mama and Daddy said y'all could keep this rabbit. 

You can live off the land. LOL You want to know if everything is edible! 

You are a trickster! 

Helping your Daddy get a goat to the pasture! 

I love to see you adventure in the yard! You told me this month that you never want to leave. You "love our property!" You plan on building in the back pasture. hahaha ❤️ 

Always making something! 

Working in the garden... 

Playing U-Dog and not always loving to team up with B! hahaha! 

Helping the runt live... 

We celebrated Truett's 2nd birthday at Suwannee Town Center... 

So grateful for our creek... 

You went to work on a deck with your Daddy and made $80. Y'all went to Frontera for lunch. 

Look at those freckles! 

I love when y'all come up for lunch or in the afternoon... 

BAHAHAHA! You like things your way 😂 

CF visit time. You had to be there from 8am until 3pm with basically no breaks. You are a trouper!

You went over the 70 pound mark and your BMI is 23%. What a praise! Your PFT's were down a little bit to 99% but Dr S was very pleased. She said that was normal with the growth. You grew a little more than an inch. Your lungs were clear. Next visit you will have a CT scan and MAY be able to cut down on your vest time. 

First time... you got your IV without moving. You did amazing! They were SO impressed with you. I am so proud of you. You also got a DEXTER 😀 to wear for 10 days to check your continuous glucose. 

You two went to Summer Jam at church... You picked art and camping. After the first night you realized you knew everything to know with camping. hahaha! You asked the 2nd night to do basketball. I joked with your Mama that you should. You did - BOPSIE! 😂 

OOOPS! I missed this pic up there and it won't move. hahaha! Too precious to leave out though. 

You wanted to go to Scoops for Italian Ice for being SO good at clinic. They didn't have what you wanted but you sure enjoyed this! ❤️ 

You are going to practice this "Arubika" at home and if your CT scan goes well.... you can replace your vest with this! Wouldn't that be amazing??? Praise the Lord. 

You caught a raccoon in your trap! 

Your Daddy was in Loganville and you went to have lunch... 

OH! I forgot! 😂 At Scoops you got up ALL on your own and started dancing IN Scoops! You are a ham and I love that you don't mind being silly. This was so sweet to me. 

SO I got up and joined you! 😆 😂 

You are one proud boy! 

You skinned the raccoon all by yourself. I was so impressed. 

Fishing in the Coleman for Father's Day weekend...

You keep your hands in your mouth WAY too much. 😂 I love when you come to see Pops when he gets home...

Spending the night with Dee Dee while your Mama and Daddy go to NC for the weekend...

SO HANDSOME! 

First stop... hair cuts! ♥️ 

We went to see Spiderman in Athens... 

 

And to the pet store. We were lookin for you a new hermit crab but they were out. 

We went to the splash pad but you said "I don't really like to get wet!" Another BOPSIE moment. lol 

Frontera's redecorated and we were a fan! 

Y'all love for me to make you some chocolate milk! 

❤️ ♥️ 💛 

YOU always want in on the action! 

I love when I see this on my camera! hahaha 💜 

We are loving our new church 

You wanted to go to Publix to get a coconut. You were so excited I let you go in with me. You told your Mama that was one of the best parts of the weekend. 💛 

You loved the juice! 

You made a bracelet at church and chose the words FAITHFUL and TRUTHFUL. LOVE! ❤️ 

You like your alone time at Dee Dee's and I LOVE that. I love when you sit down and talk! 

Y'all built the dam in the creek... 

Thomason and Truett are back from their road trip! 

You helped me trim the rose bush! ❤️ 

SO PROUD! 

Your Daddy brought this home from the trash! It was in a box though LOL 

The month started with cooler than normal temperatures. We had a really mild June UNTIL.... this week. LOL It's been SO hot. Today was 95 and it's going to be close to 100 this weekend. 

SO super thankful for a healthy, happy, memory filled month for you. Y'all just started three weeks summer break from school. Next week your Mama has a lot of fun planned. YAY! I'm hoping to do something fun with y'all too. 

Praise the Lord from whom all blessings flow. Praising the Lord through it all and praying for a wonderful July! Happy 10 years and 1/4th 😆 of a year. ♥️ 

Your Dee Dee loves you to the moon and back and back again!
