2016 Update

As 2016 continues to chug along, a lot has happened.  After the birth of my second nephew, we came home to reality.

Mom's birthday was celebrated with family in Greenville!!
 
Me, Mom & Rebecca
The Hatch Girls

 
Chandler, Me & Haley

 
Aunt Lisa and Me

 
Me & Haley

 
Me and my sweet Granny!  I love her so.  It's such a blessing to have her.  As my only living grandparent, I cherish all things with granny.  I don't call or go see her enough.  She is sometimes grumpy and tired, but her love never fails.  She's my granny Frank and I love time with her!

 
Rebecca, Haley and I headed to Nick & Jackie's wedding.  We sure do clean up nicely :)

 
 
The kids finally got to see Carter.  With an unexpected death, we rejoiced with Carter's new life.  Chandler sure has pure love for this little guy!
 
 
Carter and Grandpa.  As I look at this picture I'm reminded that life is fragile.  As time passes, memories are what makes life worthwhile.  It's quite amazing how one little new human life brings out the sappy in everyone.  Dad loves his grandchildren - and they love him!

 
Life is just better with A-man and RayRay.  We are like peas and carrots!

 
And getting to feed little man makes me want to get a rocking chair and babysit more babies! LOL

 
 
Haley and her Deep South Volleyball team got to go to Orlando Florida to play in a tournament.  It was a great experience.  There was a lot to be learned and many lessons to build on.  They didn't win a trophy or even a ribbon, but they did play as a team and grew as players.
 
Haley & Tori
These 2 are high school teammates and travel teammates.  I couldn't ask for a better friend for Haley.  Tori is my other daughter.

 
Coach J - let me count the ways.  This lady right here has woken Haley's desire to be a great athlete in the sport of volleyball.  She pours into each of her players and Haley Elizabeth LOVES her!!


 
I could NOT get over the amount of people and players at the Orlando Florida tournament.  Over 89 courts playing at one time.  Such a great learning experience.

 
What's a little getaway without some shopping.  Haley and Tori are natural beauties :)


 
The car ride with these two was awesome!!  Couldn't ask for better music pickers! LOL

 
High School Softball was fun this year.  As the starting short stop for the Andalusia Bulldogs, Haley rocked the field every game with heart and competition!  I love my #33!!  This picture shows Haley in a nutshell!!  She's the life of the party - and the field!
 
 
This was after the first game of the season - she had the winning hit hitting a double and scoring 2 runners!  It was a beautiful sight if I say so myself!
 
 
Mother's day was awesome this year.  I am blessed with 2 of the greatest kids in the whole world!!  Nothing like beach therapy on that beautiful day!!
