Spring Break 2013

Yikes.  I can't believe it has almost been a month since I posted anything here.  Life has been busy and I have not had much motivation to blog.

I took last week off of work to spend time with the kids for Spring Break.  We did some stuff locally and then on Thursday and Friday we headed to Chattanooga.  We packed our two days there with all kinds of fun stuff.  I took tons of photos so I will just show you some of my favorites.

We started with a trip to Rock City.  If you are ever in Chattanooga, you must go there.  I can't believe this was my first time.

The kids loved all of the gnomes everywhere.

I think this is the only photo I am in, so I had to include it.

Miller is obviously scared of goblins.

Harper is my little dare devil.

Can you tell Miller is not my dare devil?  He is holding on for dear life.

The kids loved the Fairyland Caverns.

The next stop was Ruby Falls.  It was crowded so we had to wait in line for awhile.  The tour was long and a little boring, but the Falls were amazing.  

We spent the night at the Chattanooga Choo Choo.  We slept in one of the train cars.  It was pretty cool.

On Friday we ventured to the Aquarium.   

Shark Attack!!!!

The jellyfish are always my favorite.

We ended the trip with a Wild Cave tour at Raccoon Mountain.  We crawled and climbed around the cave for about 1.5 hours.  The kids had a blast.  We were covered in mud when we finished.  

What have you guys been up to?

Fun at the Circus

We went to the Circus a few weeks ago.  Here are some of the photo highlights.

Cousin love....

The elephants never disappoint.

That guy is blindfolded. Crazy, huh?

Ouch!!!

Can you tell we had a great seats?  

My Sweet Niece

 

My sweet niece, Eden, was born on Saturday.  Isn't she the most precious thing ever?
 

 

Harper is very smitten with her.
 

So are her brother and sister.



 

Welcome to the world sweet girl.

University of Tennessee Football Game

Mitch and I both graduated from the University of Tennessee in Knoxville.  We have made it back for a few football games over the years, but have never taken the kids.  We decided they were probably old enough to enjoy a game.   So this weekend we took them to their very first game.  We all had a blast.

Here's Harper sporting her new UT shirt courtesy of her Grammie. 

 

We got to Knoxville early enough to see the band make its way to the stadium.
 

We walked around a little bit before the game.  Harper was able to participate in a demonstration by the Physics department.

 

Then we made our way to Neyland Stadium.
 

The day started out a bit cold, but warmed up as the day went on.  We all had a great time. I was surprised that the kids never did get bored at the game.

 



I think we have decided to make this an annual tradition.

Keith & Whitney's Wedding

We had an awesome weekend celebrating my brother and his new wife.  Here are some photo highlights.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Congratulations Keith and Whitney.  We love you!!!!

Labor Day 2012

 

We spent Labor Day on Center Hill Lake with family.  My youngest brother is getting married next Saturday, so we did a little celebrating.

 

 We caught some really small fish......
 

 

 

We tubed....


 

 

That girl is crazy.

 

The slide got a good workout. Miller must have gone down the slide 100 times.
 

My daredevil daughter jumped from the top of the double decker pontoon boat.

 

 We played until we were all pooped out.
 

What an awesome day!!
