17 and homecoming

 My babies are 17!!! They both are driving, working, and taking dual credit classes. As juniors in HS they are already doing so much adulting. It's so bittersweet 😪 

Here are some hoco dance pics and a few bday ones with their cousin (who also has a sept bday)
























Catching a Stars opener while kids were at homecoming dance




KIKI and POPs

 Our lives are forever changed. After attending Matthew's college graduation, we met our first grandbaby, Joseph Robert. He was born 8/4/2025. He's perfect and such a blessing. There are no words to describe the feelings in your heart when watching your daughter selflessly love and care for her baby. It's beautiful. We traveled to Biloxi and stayed a couple weeks helping and getting to know "Joe B." The grandparent names were process of elimination. With such a large family, many of the names were taken. Apparently, Kiki is common gm name for Kellys - so I went with that. Ultimately it will be up to whatever Joe B calls us. We also have the privilege of being his godparents!










Drove to pensacola for a quick day trip and let mom and baby sleep
