Happy Mother's Day

 Had a great Mother's Day with my boys. They are such great young men. I am blessed to their mom. They make the job of being a mom lots of fun. We ended the day by celebrating Cooper at a special banquet at Freed. Freed is hosting the baseball tournament for NAIA and they had a banquet honoring the 5 teams that will be in Henderson competing. They presented several college baseball players (1 from each school represented)with a "Champion of Character" award. The coach at Freed recognized 4 students in our county who were chosen as "Champions of Character" by their schools.Cooper was one if the 4! We are so proud of him. 

Vote for Cade!!

This guy is running for Class Vice President again this year!! I love his spunk and "go get em" attitude!! Good luck Cade!!

This guy!

Cooper has had a great week! He won the spelling bee in his class and got to compete in the school wide bee! He won second place! He was also awarded several awards at the Middle School awards day yesterday! He won the Character Award and will get to attend a banquet next week on the campus of Freed Hardeman! He won the highest growth in the school on Reading and ended the school year at a 9TH grade level!! This boy is something else!! 

He can mow!

Cade learned how to drive the zero turn mower this week!! Took him a little bit to get the hang of it but once he did he did a good job. He stayed away from anything he could possibly run over! That's the next lesson! Ha!! 

Sports Advisory Dinner

Cade and Chad got to go see Paul Fienbaum at Freed Hardeman. They enjoyed good food, music entertainment, and a talk from Paul. 

Freshman Top 5

Cade was one of the top 5 Freshman for his class this year. He actually ranked #2 for the entire class! We are so proud of him and his determination and the hard work he puts forth every day in school. I know he will do great things one day! He's already doing so many great things.

What a weekend the boys had in Nashville at Lads to Leaders! They've all worked hard all year long and that hard work paid off big time!! hey participated in several things and came home with many awards.
