This is the stuff!

Geocaching is what we have done all weekend. We started it Friday night around 10pm, but I must say it was a little scary and a lot difficult. Even though we ran into a skunk and were only 1/3 for the night we all were immediately addicted. Sunday after church we went at it again. We had the best time and probably found over 6 geo's in just a few hours.  I must admit the one at the courthouse was AWESOME! I think we have found us something we enjoying doing as a family in our spare time.

Mommy/ Daughter Day

Since we have not had an actual vacation this year due to Jeremy's new promotion and our house situation, I decided to take the kids on separate days and let them choose something special to do (with a little persuasion from me). Today, was Mommy/ Daughter Day. She I chose to go to Cabbage Patch General Hospital and adopt a Cabbage Patch Baby of her own. She and I had a wonderful time. She adopted a baby girl that was born this morning and Rylee named her Kiarra Rose. She also got Kiarra a new outfit and many accessories. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to spend the day with my talkative, lovable, one of kind daughter.

Doing what she does best

COOKING

AND MORE MESSES COOKING

It's football time in Loudon, TN

Tucker and Rylee have enjoyed living in our rental house until we get ours built. They love living near Sas and Connie and Brooke & Bailey. They enjoy taking golf cart rides almost every night and late night swims with the girls. But on this night they just enjoyed playing a calm rough game of football.

We had a wonderful 4th of July with our family. The kids were in the parade again this year, but since Sas just got a new golf cart and the temps were around 100 degrees we decided that may be cooler than bicycles. Last minute we decorated with a few things from home and some odd and end decor that Doosie found. We dropped the guys and kids off at the start and we headed to our parade spot. In about 30 minutes we get a call that they won "best decorated". We didn't believe them until they passed us in the parade and showed us the $100 check. After the parade we headed to Doc's for a day of fun in the heat I mean sun and some good food. This 4th of July was not usual. Meaning I spent my entire time inside looking and holding our newest addition to the family.  Since the Loudon fireworks had been cancelled due to the heat and dry weather we let the kids do a few fireworks at home and Doosie and Gramps came up to watch them. We ended up sitting in the driveway watching fireworks all around. I am so blessed to have such a close loving family.
