J.L. & Barbara Barnett invited us to spend part of Labor Day with them and it was an incredibly fun time! Kim and I woke up tired this morning but talked about how wonderful yesterday was.
We started off at the Barnett’s house as Zach, Sean, Joseph, Codey Powell, & Emily Oliver enjoyed time in the pool. Emily, Sean’s girlfriend, is actively involved with volleyball and had an event she needed to be at so she had to leave early. But Dani Whitaker, Zach’s girlfriend, showed up as we headed off to Kentucky Lake.
J.L. & Barbara have a pontoon boat and a jet ski – both of which stayed busy the rest of the day!












After spending quite a few hours on the water, we all enjoyed a seafood dinner at Cypress Springs.
Yep, we’re tired! But, yesterday was a day full of events that will be fun to remember in years to come. We’re so thankful that the Barnett’s made it possible!
Looks like a fun day! Hey I’m just happy to see the boys with girlfriends…now Kim isn’t out numbered! Lol

Honestly, I don’t mind the numbers evening out. I especially love the kind of girls / young women that my boys are attracted to. I’ve been praying for 3 young ladies (whoever they are) for a very long time who will end up being our daughters-in-law. Nothing would bring us greater joy than to know that our boys and their families are walking in the truth.

You all need these types of days. I am just so glad each of you experienced the lake. Now. Did Kim ever ride a jet ski? They are so fun.

Kim never rode the jet ski. She is the only one in the Ellis family that never learned how to swim so she was perfectly fine staying in the pontoon boat.

Jay and I were truly blessed and honored to have you, Kim and all the kids make our day special! As senior adults with our own children living so far away, you all are like our adopted kids and grandkids so it was a very special day for us as well! I hope we can share this good time together again!! We truly love all of you and thank God for each of you! Not only are you welcome back but your adopted ones, the girlfriends and anyone you want, 12 at a time though as that is the legal maximum on the pontoon. Can’t wait until we can all go again!! Thank you !! 💕
