The boys have been to their first movie....Fire and Rescue Planes....and yes, we already have all the action figures!

Waiting for the movie to start.....we just about polished off all our snacks!

Pretty sweet set up!

We took the kids to the alligator park a few weeks ago.

After seeing these guys come OUT OF NO WHERE when a chicken was dangled over the water, I determined I will NEVER swim in a Louisiana Lake!

Water fun at the gator park.

He's so funny!

These were just the babies.

They had goats at the gator park too.....a back up if they ran our of whole chickens????

Wendy came to town and we went painting!!  

She's coming back in October and I hope to see her face again!

Just a random picture of Logan.....he hollered at me "hey mom, I'm camouflaged!"

William built the kids each a water table with plastic bins - genius!  We had left over house paint, so they match our house out there on the patio! They have been loads of fun already!  

William had his throat scoped this month trying to get to the bottom of a swallowing issue.....I wish I would have taken video of him waking up from the drugs - SOOO funny!   

We went to Tennessee for Olivia's first day of school!  

This is me and my sister doing her hair.

Awe! 

Grandma playing legos with the kidos!

Rockin' it out on the sax!

Yo-yo lesson!

Super Hero Dress Up!

I can't tell you how much my kids enjoyed dressing up with their cousins! 

This tree in my sister's front yard became the kids' favorite sittin' spot!

This is what breakfast, lunch, and dinner looked like!

Backyard pool fun at my sister's house.

Connor thought it was so funny when Isaac splashed his face!  Their giggles made me giggle!

This was the BEST day - easy and so much fun!

And why wouldn't a cousin toss another cousin into the pool???

Connor was fascinated with their water table (that's why we built one at home!)

This was so fun to watch and try to capture....running start jump into the pool.  I have TONS of these, but I'll only post a couple.

Uncle Justin was spraying Logan directly in the face.....everyone got a kick out of it, including Logan!

Saying goodbye.....everyone came out to the car for last minute hugs before we went to Grandma and Grandpa's house for a couple days.  Tami, thanks for letting us stay with you!  LOVE YOU!

Bedtime stories with Grandpa!

Does he look like Phil or what????  

While at Walmart one afternoon, dad and I found these beards.....we were laughing so hard, but you can't tell through all the hair! 

Story time with Grandma!

We all went swimming one morning after grandma and grandpa's exercise class.

My friend Beth (who I met in Germany) drove down to Tennessee to visit us while we were there.

We took the kids to the Gatlinburg Aquarium.

COOL!

William usually picks these horseshoe crabs up for the kids, but I filled in for him!

Connor LOVES scuba divers so it was super cool there was one in the shark tank that day!

This little penguin played with us for a long time. 

Beth and her kids.

Me and mine!

Such a handsome fella!

Downtown Pigeon Forge.

Ice cream after a lunch out at the Pottery House.

Playing with worms before going fishing.  

On your mark, get set, FISH!

Fishin' Buddies.

Connor wanted to play with the worms more than he wanted to fish.  I think that was a stretch for Grandma, but she handled the wiggly creatures well! 

Chillin'.

Awe.

Dad, this one is for you!

Logan baited his own hook!  

Grandpa's vineyard was a big hit with the kids....and so were the blackberries and raspberries!

Another one for you, Pa!

Awe.

Bedtime with friends and family.  

It started with a hug......

.....and ended with a tackle!

Grandma took us all to the splash pad and playground for a picnic lunch.

Playin'!

Thanks for coming Beth, it was SOOO good to see you!

We got to see Grandaddy a couple times while we were there too!

Back home with Daddy at our local splash pad!

The bucket dumps are a favorite......!

....as are the water cannons!
