Are you ready for some SOCCER?!

The Flowers boys are! Quentin was about to pop with excitement getting ready to play with the Grey Wolves team. This season they start playing with Goalies! Ash started his rookie season with the Tigers.



Ash started his Rookie season with the Tigers team!




With a little encouragement and coaching..he had a great season and scored a few goals!

Go BIG or Go Home!!

It was a BIG weekend. Friday Quentin started "Big School" as a Kindergartener at Harpeth Valley Elementary! We've all been so excited waiting for this day. Grandma, Mr. Henry, Aunt Jeanette and John came down to help Q and Ash get off to a good start.


On Saturday we had a family outing and went to the Nashville Sounds baseball game.



On Monday, Ash moved up to the "Big Class" at Nashville Christian School. See him showing off his backpack?!

Ash gives his old pal Carla a hug at Open House on Sunday.

Monday was also Quentin's first day riding the bus to school...yes the bus! Dad walked him down to the pool to see him off!



My big boys are growing up!

It's the big one, honey!

Chris loves to fish! Lately Bass fishing seems to be his thing. Problem is...if the fish aren't a certain weight they must be thrown back. Well this time he caught the big one! Check him out...it weighed 5lbs and was 23 inches! Of course Quentin just had to hold him!

A Day in the Garden

Our sweet neighbor from Belize is an excellent gardener. She has a beautiful garden with tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, blueberries and canteloupe. She even has a peach tree! Last week, Mrs. Yvonne came over and got the boys so they can go pick blueberries. So off we went with our bowls to pick blueberries. I even channelled my inner-Julia Childs and baked blueberry turnovers! So good.

Mrs. Yvonne shows the boys how how to pick berries. Ash stops for a taste.

The boys show off their harvest, then smell sweet basil and rosemary from the herb garden.

Can't wait til the peaches are ripe. Beautiful blueberries!
Not so bad for a first try. The turnovers were yummy!
