Happy Birthday to my beautiful Granny Barbara Mobley (Aunt Barbara)! 🎉🎂💜
We had an absolute blast celebrating our birthdays this weekend! As true Geminis, we were having way too much fun and did NOT want to stop the party long enough to sing Happy Birthday. 😂♊
So now we have a whole birthday cake left to share! 🍰 If you didn't get a chance to celebrate with us, stop by and grab yourself a slice while it lasts. We'd love to see you!

Saddle up… our graduates are off to kindergarten! 🤠🎓 After graduation, we celebrated rodeo style with our amazing VPK graduates and their families. From the petting zoo by Double J Ranch, face painting by Jacksonville Premier Face & Body Artist, and a fun-filled bounce house provided by King-Butler Enterprises, the day was full of smiles, laughter, and unforgettable memories.
A special thank you to Ms. Oliver, Assistant Principal from Becoming Collegiate Academy, for stopping by to support our graduates and families. We appreciate the love shown to our little learners as they prepare for their next big adventure! 💙✨
