Grandma Mayberry


I don't have many words, yet, but I wanted to document how our whole family got together this past weekend to celebrate the life of Grandma Mayberry. 
Everyone was at our house Sunday the 11th (we were only missing Masen) for dinner and to remember Grandma Mayberry. There were tears but there was so much more laughter. 
The last 3 Mayberry Amigos
Grandma Mayberry LOVED Coke Zero. Loved might be too soft of a word actually. So, it was definitely fitting for Madi to buy a case for all of us to toast to her. 
Can't take a nice picture with this crew . . . 

We have loved reading how many people at her work and church loved and miss our Grandma Mayberry. 






Grandma Mayberry had the foresight to ask her neighbor Tracey to help with rehoming the cats she loved so much. 
We are so thankful for all of Tracey's help. 
Friends and family have also been amazing bringing food, flowers, and prayers. 


Madi immediately knew she wanted these adorable wooden cats from Grandma's cabinet to remember her by.  Perfect addition in her new house. 
This is the last picture I took of Grandma a few days before she was released from Trust Point and headed home. 
Still can't believe she's no longer here. Thankful for the promise we have in Jesus.

Life, Lately.

 

Trying to capture all the fun this girl is having . . . 
We're enjoying Wednesday night dinners with the Foley's after feeding our college community group at our house. 
I'm also loving an occasional lunch date on campus with this college girl! 
Tucker went to TTU's Preview Day last Monday! Hopefully, we'll have another Red Raider next year!
Tucker and Madi went bowling and this is the picture I get. 
She loves hair day just like her mom!
All the KAPPA events! 
I snapped a pic of the key she and her twin made for their BIG Frannie! 
Whew. And it's just the middle of October. :)

Big-Little!

 

Last Tuesday, we took Morgan and Leighton to dinner at Blue Sky since Morgan's birthday was last Thursday and Tim was out of town for work. We then invited Kennedy and Davy since they've been wanting to get together for a while now. 
The girls had a BLAST playing in the sandbox and it was a fun night catching up with Morgan and Kennedy. 
The next night Cody took Hunter and his friend to dinner in Odessa!  So glad he has someone nearby should he need anything. 
The same night Matt and Adam went to dinner while hosting our college group!
I was in Austin at a Charles Butt conference. 
My view at Lost Pines Resort . . . 
These two also enjoyed a lunch date between classes on Thursday! 
Madi also found out who her BIG is in her sorority! 
She was so happy her BIG was Franni!











Then the next night she had her D8 party! Thankfully, she was able to take a friend since Hunter was at school in Odessa. 















Some of Madi's posts for memory sake . . . . 






I think it's safe to say she's enjoying this college life. 
Tuck came to town this weekend and stayed with Madi. 
They went to the fair, watched the TTU game, went to get ice cream, lunch, etc.! 
This was these 2 at the fair YEARS ago!
Still how I picture them for sure. :)
