I am the Mom of a SECOND Grader....

.... I can hardly believe that my little baby is in the 2nd Grade already!! We have been praying for the best teacher and we got her, Mrs. Ruediger. Britton was all smiles when she came to pick up the class in the sauna (I mean..the school gym) at 8:05 this morning. I , as any great Mom would do, bombarded him with the camera starting at 7:00 am. Look how much he's grown over the summer!! On a quick side note... I thought you would all appreciate that he planned his own Back-to-school pool party yesterday and invited all of his friends. He is sooo much like his Moma.... the boy just wants to have FUN!!! HA :)

Britt's BIG Catch

These are some of the infamous pictures from Britt’s fishing excursion on Friday!! He spent the week at the lake with Mema and Pappy… but wanted me to take him fishing!! Too funny!

We had such a great time!! By the end of the morning, he was getting his own crickets, baiting his hook, putting his pole out and taking off the fish all by himself!! He was so proud!! The proudest part for me was when he decided to give “his fish” to the elderly couple who were fishing on the dock beside us. However, that did require a lot of prayer on his part. (SERIOUSLY) Ha

Hey Uncle Morris…. The boy’s got the family fishing gene, just like his favorite Uncle!

Summer Camp

Early in the summer, I went to summer camp with 11 of our elementary kids in Spartanburg and we had a ball!! I found this photo of us at a "Mass Organized Chaos" game and basically, it is exactly what it says... MASS chaos!! The kids were awesome and I am pretty sure that all of the adults had more fun than the kids did!!
I know I did!! I can't wait til' next year!! :) :)

I love my church!!

Hey guys!!
I just wanted to take a minute to brag on my church which is also my place of business. We were recently were named the
10th Most influential church in America in Church Report Magazine. We ranked among some of the Mega-churches like Saddleback, Willow Creek & Lakewood Church (Joel Osteen's church). I am so proud of the chance I have in my ministry to be a part of something so incredible for Christ!
