Rocky is 9 weeks old

Rocky is getting so BIG. He weighs about 7 lbs now. Rudy is coming around and playing with Rocky a little more. He is a feisty little thing. Of course he sleeps with us and will wake up in the middle of the night wanting to play. You can't help but to love him. He is sooooo sweet.


I just love this picture.

*BOOMSDAY*

This was the first year we have went to Boomsday. We had alot of fun, but it was sooooo hot. And of course there was no shade. We didn't really know what to expect and we got up there around four, the fireworks was not until nine thirty. It was definitely to hot to spend four and a half hours out in the heat. So we got something to eat and let the kids so some stuff, then we decided to head to Hooters to eat. By the way that is Hayden's favorite place to eat. Then we went back and decided that we would park in a parking lot just off of Kingston Pike to watch the fireworks. I have to say we had pretty good seats and no traffic to fight when it was over. The fireworks was absolutely beautiful, I have never seen anything like it before. Of course we ended the night with a trip to Krispy Kreme.



Taylor was in a Hula Hoop contest. She did not win, but she did a very good job....

Taylor and Hayden doing a little fighting.

Kassie loved this slide, I bet she went down it twenty times....



Happy 30th Birthday Jenny

We had a suprise party for Jenny at Wild Wings. Well it ended up not being much of a surprise since one of her friends ended up telling her, but she did a good job not letting us know she knew. We all had alot of fun, I know that Jenny had fun. Happy Birthday Jenny:)

~Back to School~

This year has started out great. The kids love school, lets hope is stays that way. Taylor is in fourth grade, she has Mrs.Thompson as her homeroom teacher. Kassie and Hayden are in first grade, Kassie is in Mrs.Collins room and Hayden is in Mrs.Cates room. I have took pics of the kids on their first day of school since they was in kindergarten. I can't help it, I love to take pictures....




*DoLLyWooD*

We had so much fun at Dollywood. We went with Karyn and her brother Kenneth and his son Kaleb. Of course Taylor had to have her best friend Michaela go with her to ride rides. Kassie and Hayden got to ride all but five rides. Those dare devils wasn't even scared, they really surprised me. We spent the extra money to get a Q-bot(I think that's what its called) and it is well worth every penny. Never had to wait in line. I rode the Dizzy Disk and it just about made me sick. I guess the older I get my stomach just can't handle those kind of rides. We made sure we rode every water ride in the park, twice and it was great. We never got hot. Thanks Karyn for letting us tag along with you guys.....

Kaleb and Hayden ready to ride the River Rampage.

Taylor and Michaela being SILLY:)

Kassie is such a Mommy's girl...

The Dizzy Disk.

Kassie being so sweet:)

We took a break to enjoy some grilled corn on the cob.



Okay, so we wasn't wet enough. I think the kids had just as much fun here as they did on the rides.






We had to get a pic with the silly hats on....

Michaela and Taylor being so COOL:)

~Taylor's 9th Birthday Party~

Every year we always have Taylor's party at the Rockwood Community Center. Taylor loves to swim so it works out perfect. We all had a great time. This is the first year that I have ever made her cake, or I guess you could say cupcakes. But Jessica had give me a recipe for homemade butter cream icing had it is very good. So I decided I was going to make them this year and I thought that they turned pretty cute. I had made a cupcake tier for her cake then bought cupcake holders from the bakery for the rest. I made eighty cupcakes that day. Back to the party, it wouldn't have been one if Jeremy Hicks didn't push someone in. Jessica and I was the lucky girls this year that got it. After singing to Taylor, the kids decided to get into a food fight. There was pizza, chips, and cupcakes everywhere and on everyone. I guess you could say it turned to be a pretty exciting party.


Aubrey had to smash a cupcake in Taylor's face:)

Now you see who started the food fight.

I can't believe that my little girl is nine. She is growing up so fast.






















Sorry for all the pics, you can never have to many.
