Kenny!

 Kenny Chesney came to the rodeo this year and I was so upset about missing him.  I would normally never miss Kenny at the rodeo, but he was right in the middle of spring break. 

 Fast forward to Monday of last week when he announced that he was adding a Friday show in Orange Beach (he already had a Saturday show scheduled) and guess who was showing up in Orange Beach on Friday...Me! 

Now you know I prefer a suite situation for a concert, but since it was his birthday, I let JR talk me in to general admission in the pit.

I'm still not sure we were in the right section because everyone around us was wearing VIP armbands and passes, and we were this close to Kenny!

Kenny puts on a fantastic show and JR and I had a great time singing along with every single song!

 It's JR's birthday today and he's the big two zero.

We went down to see him in Gulf Shores, and we celebrated yesterday.

We had lunch at the famous Flora Bama. 

I guess I need a geography refresher, because I had no idea we were that close to Florida. 

Then we celebrated again with dinner out.

And he lined up all his birthday cards in his new place.

Last Day

 The last day of school was yesterday, but Kyle and Reed were lucky enough to finish their finals on Wednesday, so I guess you can say the last day of school was Wednesday.  

They looked like this.

Reed got distinguished honor roll this year (all A's for every 9 weeks)

And most shockingly of all, JR (whose claim to fame is that he went to every Pi Phi date party of the year) somehow squeaked on to the Dean's honor roll this semester. 

Interview

 So I had no idea he was even in this until it was sent to me, but here's Reed getting interviewed at school. It's about an hour, so skip to 22 minutes in to watch Reed's interview.  There's even video of him studying in our kitchen (again, I had no idea any of this even happened!)

And since his interview is about his running, we'll keep on that theme.

I thought this video and picture he took the other evening were so cool. 

I'm not sure it was the safest (or smartest) for them to be out running while it was lightning, but it did make for a great video. 

Yearbooks

 I don't know how my kids do it, but they always seem to get themselves in their yearbooks.  

Even JR landed himself 2 pics in the Ole Miss yearbook! 

Weekend Favs

 I think everyone got to do their favorite things this weekend.

This bunch went fishing in Matagorda. (Ok, fishing isn't Jason's very favorite, but I heard he caught the biggest fish).

This one looks like he's miserable down in Alabama. 

And after an evening at the racquet club, Chloe and I were excited to spend the day together.

Mother's Day

 We all had a great Mother's Day, and brunch seemed more fancy and delicious than usual.

And we were all able to look at the camera, keep our eyes open, and smile at the same time!
