Digging for Diamonds

We got a ton of rain here last Friday, so (even though it was gorgeous on Saturday) last week's soccer games got canceled. Jeff saw on the news where some lady had recently found a 3.6 carat diamond in Murfreesboro, so we made our second trip ever to the Crater of Diamonds State Park. We enjoyed a few hours of sunshine, but we found nothing but rocks. Ashley had a far better time than the first trip when she was only 3 and hated being wet or dirty. Nate got filthy but did not require power washing of his body nor immediate disposal of his clothing this time. 

And because I can't resist some throwback pics, here are a few from our first trip with the Fowlkes in 2009:

Soccer 2015

Soccer season is in full-swing! This is Nate's last year for Upward. :( This year, the boys are Team Argentina and the girls are The Dynasty. 

Happy Easter Birthday!

My birthday fell on Easter this year. Surprisingly, this is the first time in my life that had happened. According to my Google research, it won't happen again until I turn 50!
