Pearlie Whites

Emma has not had the best run of dentist visits.  She normally goes in and comes out kicking and screaming.  I am so THANKFUL to tell you all that she went to the dentist yesterday and was SO pleasant.  She didn't even whimper.  My baby is becoming a big kid.

Let it Rain, Let it Pour!

Tropical Storm Beryl brought us LOTS of rain, but we didn't let that slow us down!  We just kept playing right through the showers.  Why worry about getting wet, right?

Field Trip Fun!

Brantley County Pre-K Program had a end of the school year field trip Friday to the St. Mary's Aquatic Center.  It was our first visit to this "water playground."  Even though the weather was in the cool low 70s,  Emma and some of her closest friends had a great time. 

It's hard to believe that at the end of this week, I'll have a kindergartener.  She has learned so much from her teachers this year.  We were really blessed a with teacher who knows our Savior and I am so thankful. 

Swamp People

For Mother's Day, Grandma Blanche wanted the entire family to go to the Okefenokee Swamp.  There are 18 of us now in the Riggins/Anderson/Thrift/Paulk/McDonald clan.  We had a great time!  The kids loved the train ride and there are gators everywhere! 

Emma - 5, Sienna - 3, Brooks - 20 Months, Blake - 19 Months, Cason - 4 Months

Just a Swingin'

My dad is the kind of guy who can make and fix anything.  A few years back he made this tire swing for the grandkids.  We all love it!  Even us big kids get on it from time to time. 

Brooks was too little last summer to ride by himself, but not this year! That boy loves the outdoors and wants to swing every time we go to Papa's.  He is growing up so quickly.

Appreciation Sweets

Layton and I have been so BLESSED over the last five years with some amazing women who love and care for our children as if they were their own.  This week is teacher appreciation, so we delivered Jerrry J's delicious cinnamon rolls with this label on the top of each box to the teachers at Wee Kids Daycare and Emma's teachers at Nahunta Primary School.  It was a hit! 

Notice:  Sweet Roll (Cinnamon Roll), get it?
