The Month of June

It has been a busy but fun month for us.  We started off with R going to the Best of Preps in Chattanooga.  She was selected to the area 2nd team for girls golf.  John Smoltz, former Atlanta Braves pitcher, was the speaker for the evening.

The next activity was a trip to Texas to see the eldest grandson, P, graduate from Odem High School.

Payne was selected to play in the Texas High School Baseball Coaches All-Star game as a first baseman.  It was great to see him play in his last game!  A week later he was named to the All-State first team as a first baseman.  When his regular season was over, he was named All-District as a pitcher.  In addition, he was on the All-State Academic team in baseball as well as football.  So proud of his athletic success as well as his academic success.  He was Salutatorian of his class and will be attending Texas A&M in the Fall.

The computer is not letting my add some of the pictures that I wanted to add, but if it changes it mind later, I’ll add more to the post.

 

June was a fun month with lots of activities.
