10 years and 10 months - sassy and getting SO grown!

Happy 10 years and 10 months sweet, Aspen! 💛 

Happy 2024!!! I can't believe how fast time is flying on by. We started this birthday month with the flu. BOOOOOO! 😞 Your Dad got it first and then you and me and Pops! We didn't get to celebrate New Years Eve with y'all INSIDE but we did meet in the driveway to shoot off some fireworks! 💥 






Your Mama is SILLY! This is proof! hahahaha!

You are a worker-bee! 😊 You love to work on things with your hands. You are an entrepreneur at heart... I can already tell. You won't stop until you figure something out. I love that about you. You are WAYYY above what most 10 year olds can do. I'm so proud of your dedication to the things you put your mind to. 

Another "Bopsie" thing... we both love the Cheesecake Factory bread and sometimes I buy you some at the store. You also love your hatchet we bought you for Christmas! 🎄 

SEE! Always coming up with a new invention! ♥️ 

You didn't want any "toys" for Christmas but you sure love playing with B's! 😉 


You can clean a rabbit like a pro! You amaze me! 

You love to work on things with Pops! You were making a leather wallet! 

We have LOVED watching you play basketball this season! It's been fun to watch your family playing. And Pops plays sometimes too! SO fun! 🏀 


You came up one day to do school! It was fun! You are practicing your cursive. I LOVE that you are learning! 

We did some math pages! 

SILLY! 🙃 

When you have a few spare moments at a basketball game - you try and catch a duck and if it's YOU... you likely will! 😂 





Family time at your game! 




We've had a LOT of rain lately and it did some pretty big damage to the creek. AGAIN! 😞 🙏 


Your Mama took Thomason and Truett to play some games! We had fun!!!! 



I beat Pops at Space Invaders! ❤️ 


You love playing with Truett! ❤️ 



Rabbit stew! You were a fan! 


Hahahahaha! 😉 





You've had a great season! We got used to Saturdays and Tuesday night basketball! 🏀 


You and B got a cell phone to share! It only calls certain people and texts. It's fun to get a text or call from you! 


We didn't know you weren't supposed to shoot... 




It's time to EAT CROW - literally! 😉 



You love your new scope! You need a new gun... maybe for your birthday!? 😉 


It's time for a haircut! 😜 


You found an injured bird... 



Thursday classes at Summit have taught you some cool things! 


You can be a little cray cray. Your poor Mama! 😂 





You and your Mama cooking... 



You finished the regular season... 9 wins and 1 loss. You had a great time! 





You spend a lot of your spare time hunting squirrels. You are a really good shot! You love all things hunting and outdoors. ❤️ 


It's been a fast month! The month started off with the flu and ended with a cold but I am SUPER thankful that you did so well with the flu and so did everyone else. I am SOOOOO ready for warmer weather and the flu and as much sickness to go on out of here. We have SO much to be thankful for though. 

Your December clinic visit was canceled because you were sick. They didn't reschedule so I think you'll go back in March. We pray every day for your lungs to stay clear and your weight to grow and all the things! 

I pray every day that you will realize how good the Lord has been and is to you! He's had his hand on you and helped you to grow and thrive. You've been in a "pest" others kind of mood more this month than other months. I'm praying for your attitude and your heart to make some changes with that. You are so sweet and SO loved. 

You are fun and energetic. You are sassy and sarcastic but most of the time in a funny way. You are smart and athletic - it's been fun watching you learn something new. You are all things outdoors and hunting and creeks and guns. I love how many hobbies you have.

Happy February sweet Aspen! I can't wait to see what memories we make. I love you so much! ❤️
