LAZY ME!!!

Once again I fell behind on my posting! Didn't we all know that I would! Anyway, I put a few pics on here and will try to keep up better in the future!! Jacob starts kindergarten next week and he is so excited! I hope everyone is doing great! We love and miss everyone down home!

Diane, I need to make you a cd with the reunion pics, but you need to email me your mailing address (again)

Melissa--hope all is great with your bunch! Tell everyone hello!

Amy---I don't know your work schedule right now, so call me when you get a chance! I don't want to call you when you're asleep!

Aunt Lisa---Jacob is still ready to go to "Flada" to be with Lauren!! We love ya'll!

Resting at Nanny's

McWayne Center

We had fun at the McWayne Center. Here, everyone

tries their hand at lifting their own weight! It

was quite hilarious to watch. I'm glad I have camera

duty!!!

Visiting with Tyler and Lauren

The kids had a blast bowling! Putt putt was the next

adventure. Finally, they all three made rice krispy

treats! Yummy!

Holland, Mi

We went up to Holland, Mi when Aunt Dana came to visit.

Pretty tulips, fun dancers (but wooden shoes, ouch!), and

a nap on the way home!

Watermelon at Granny's

The footsteps of Grandpa, momma, and Aunt Dana!

We all loved our first year of t-ball! Jacob has his momma's arm...

hard throw, but needs to work on control!!

Vacation in Gatlinburg

Last month, we got to go on a vacation that didn't include Albertville or Vernon. Me, Tony, Jacob, aunt Dana, and John rented a cabin in the mountains (way up a little bitty, very curvy road, which I wasn't happy with). For some reason the roads straight up the mountain didn't bother Tony and John. They seemed to enjoy giving the rest of us heart attacks! We had a great time. Me and Dana tried ice skating with Jacob. His first time and my second. Needless to say, I busted my tail bone one really good time and that was about enough for me. We rode the sky lifts, which took me some getting used to because it really is a long way down! Lila and Wendell was there part of the week. So Jacob was glad to see Nanny and Paw Paw. We went to the aquarium and spent some time on the strip. It was an excellent get away for us. We had three cameras full of pictures, so I picked some of my favorites to post. I hope we get to do this again soon!

Night falls on the Smokies

They aren't very good, but this is my only attempt

at getting pictures at night fall. It's pretty, even if

it's not professional!

Up and over the mountain

We spent one day driving. We went over the top of the mountains

and into North Carolina. It is a beautiful drive. There is, however,

about a 20 degree difference in temp from the bottom of

the mtn and the top. It was pretty cold and there was a lot

of ice. Like we don't see enough of that in Indiana! But we

don't have the Smokies!

Cade's Cove

A few pics from Cade's Cove. We drove and walked a lot. It

is so peaceful and pretty here. As you can see, John ran Jacob

to death in hopes that the boy could possibly be worn out

enough to sleep!

Wax Museum

We had an absolute blast at the wax museum! Jacob got to be

spiderman; all the boys got to be Men in Black; me and Dana

got to be with Hugh (closest we will ever get!!); and Dana

tried to block a basketball shot (like that could ever happen)

Popular hangout at our cabin

Everyone took a turn at the pool table upstairs. Jacob discovered

that he had a new favorite game. Needless to say, neither me nor

Dana can be considered a pool shark! Our games always took

a little longer!

Soccer practice

Jacob is learning to play soccer! And trying to learn to

follow directions! Each week he does better. He has

such a great time kicking the ball as hard as he can!
