Several New Posts!

I have been able to catch us ALMOST to date!! I am seriously close!! I hope everyone is having a good summer!! We have stayed busy with camps and some family time too!! I am getting a new nephew tonight so I am hoping to get some new pics on here of baby #4!!!

A Day at the Zoo

A few weeks ago Chris was off during the week and we decided to go to the Zoo... I had Wallace that day and he and Josie kept talking about wanting to go...so once we picked up Marshall from school we headed to the zoo!! Marshall, Wallace, and Josie!!

They are too cute... they really play well together!! I had to take this picture because not long ago I found a picture of Marshall and James(my other nephew) at about this same age and Marshall is wearing that outfit and they are standing in front of this sign!! I will have to see if I can find that other pic again!!


Josie loves Chris and I will have to say Chris feels the same way about her!!! Great buddies!!!



Meerkat(spelling?)...one of the favorites!!!










One of the new baby tigers...they are so cute!!!

Well I tried...I am not sure what Josie is doing!!!

Wallace hanging out in the Bamboo!!!



I forget what these are called.....but what a funny picture!!

Porcupine

They loved the petting zoo








Marshall and me Chris and Wallace...Wallace love Chris too



Waiting for their ride


Chris and I waiting for our ride too!!




Wallace on his Koala Bear.. he wasn't sure at first.. but then loved it!!!

Josie loving her ride too!!!

Marshall showing off a little....she loves to ride too!!


And you can't leave the zoo without an icee or a snow cone!!! I think Marshall had Dippin Dots!!!


We all had a great time at the Zoo..That was not the first of the summer and I am sure it won't be the last!!!

A much needed getaway!!!

Back in May Chris and I took a much needed little getaway to Chattanooga...we had a free hotel room and thought we would just spend one night and spend the day in Chattanooga while we were both off work at the same time!!! With him driving now and not ever knowing when he will work and with me working all the time it is hard to have a weekend where we are both off!! Well we found one and took a road trip!!! We left when I got off work one Friday and this is the rainbow we saw on our way there!!! What a beautiful drive!! We stopped at the hotel and I changed clothes and then we went downtown to eat at Sticky Fingers!!! It was really good....


The next morning our first stop was Rock City.... I had never been and it was a lot of fun!!!


This is what happens when you are 6'6.....he had to duck down a lot!!





Chris and I at the top.... it is so pretty and we were pretty lucky that it was not raining and that it didn't get too hot while we were there!!!





Tight squeeze on some of it!!!!









This Fairyland part was some of my favorite but I didn't put very many pictures from inside!!




The 3 Little Pig
After Rock City we went and walked around Point Park....it was really pretty but I could not get over that we had to pay to walk around....

Not sure why I am doing this but I thought it was funny!

My Giant!!! It turned out dark but I thought it looked even better!!!
Yes, yet another picture we took ourselves!!!
Then it was on to Ruby Falls and this was probably my favorite!!!!



Should I be scared?? He was looks serious....


Answer...YES I should be scared... he SHOT me!!!
Down in the Cave on our way to see Ruby Falls....
Can you find the turtle??? It is too the right of the sign....
We had a crazy tour guide ...you know the ones with the most annoying voice and the corny jokes!!! Oh yes we had that one... she had that squeaky voice and Chris was talking like her by the end!!!
RUBY FALLS.... It was so cool to see this!!! The picture we took in front of it did not turn out!!!
Again this is how Chris was through a lot of the cave...We really had a great time and I really look forward to going back to Chattanooga and doing some more of the stuff downtown!! We went and walked around downtown before we left but didn't do the aquarium like we wanted!! We decided to save it for the next time!!! Thank you Chris for taking me away!!

Noah's Ark



Marshall's class did Noah's Ark and she was a
Sun Beam.... she was so excited about her play!! She did a great job and looked beautiful!! I didn't get very many great pictures because my camera does not work great in this room!! I may have to see if I can get one off Dallas' camera!! She is the first one on the left!!!
