Leah sent me these pics and video today!

Leah said this is the most she’s ever played with him. As they get older they’re gonna be besties!💓💙

 

Ellie and James went to the BTS world tour concert!

 It’s been Ellie’s dream for soooo long! Her entire room asa teen was filled with NTS posters and paraphernalia! And finally her dream comes true! They had to go to Baltimore Maryland to see them! Here are the pre-concert pics… I’ll add the concert pics to this post when I get them!

Ellie sent tons of videos this morning from the concert. She will only let me post one because she’s singing or screaming or crying in the others! She said it was one of the best experiences she’s ever had in her life!!!💕

She said her throat is so sore this morning from singing and screaming!!!

Today we got the rest of the shutters put on the back bedrooms and bathroom windows!

We replaced all the blinds in the house with shutters, but we had to do it in stages. It elevates the look and makes the guest rooms feel like a cozy inn. I want my guests to feel pampered!!!

 

Emily is such a good wife and great cook!

 

Look at these sugar lumps

 

Ellie and James are enjoying some adventures before they start work and school…

 Today they went to Indianapolis to see “The Odyssey” on a 70 foot screen. Tomorrow they will go to Baltimore to see a BTS concert! Ellie’s favorite band forever! So excited for them!

Tyler just released an album on Spotify and is starting his masters in agronomy!

 Tyler released a 5 song album. He wrote every one of them and sings and plays guitar. His friend Sean also played guitar and did backup vocals. Geoff played bass, Nick played drums, Scott Andrews played some guitar, Ian played some guitar and synth. Alex played piano in the second song. 

Songs:

Slip the Pin

2 Planes and Wrong Lanes

Circle the Drain

For BJ (A song he wrote for his friend Brennan Johnson that passed away 🥺

Spell

The Album is officially released I all platforms August 29, 2026. It’s called “Secret Slang”. The more listens, te more royalties he gets. Mark your calendars!

He’s working full time for UGA and loves his job! They pay for him to get his master’s, so he’s starting his master’s in Agronomy this week! He’s only taking one class at a time since he works full time.

I don’t know where he finds time to write and record an album, mountain bike, workout, play pickleball and tennis, keep a garden, raise cars and chickens, travel, get his master’s and work full time! Im super proud of him though.

Mama’s happy when all her kids and grandkids are happy!❤️
