The Weekend!

We had such a great weekend just being a family. Even though we did not do to much it was nice to hang around the house and do nothing! We did grill out, sat on the deck and enjoyed icecream and drinks, and we watched the kids go cirlces in the yard.

Alex pushing her Dora bike in the grass. She does not like to pedal.

Daddy calming her down after she decided to go down the hill on the Dora bike and put her feet down, which caused her to flip over. Oh the drama!!!

Luke wearing his safety glasses while he rides the gator.

Daddy and Alex taking a walk.

This was actually my brothers bike that my dad just put new tires on. It works great. Kade loves it. He thinks it cool because Cory had it when he was a little boy.

Kade sporting his scooter. He loves this thing.

Alex once again pushing her bike....not pedaling.

Steve was finally able to find Luke a left handed glove that fits. He was so excited to finally be able to play ball like Daddy and Kade.

Kade's action shot.

Here is Alex having tea party in her room with her bears.....and yes she is wearing her bathing suit. Can you say DIVA!!!

Only two more days until the weekend. Can not wait.

The Tall Mountain

Today we headed over to the Sawnee Mountain Preserve to walk up the Tall Mountain. I guess all Dora fan's can tell where Luke got this from. It was about a 3 mile hike. The kids did great. Alex had be to carried a little bit, but overall they were angels!! Of course, once we reached the top of mountain I had to get some pics. Enjoy!

All About Alex

I decided to try to catch a few cute shots of Alex in our yard by my blooming trees. It started off well and then soon turned into craziness!

Here she is showing me her "Princess of CareBear Land" pose. She loves Care Bears and so that is what we call her.

Just being silly here.

This was one of my favorites!

Steve says that this is the true Alex. In true princess fashion she had a "moment" during the photo taking. She always makes this face when she is in trouble, did not get her way, or is feeling a little overwhelmed.

Love her smile. Everyone has been calling her "Little Angela" lately.

Rain Out!

After all the kids were loaded into the van we headed off to Stone Mountain. We stopped at KFC along the way to pick up dinner. The park was very crowded so we ended up parking about 1/2 mile away. Once we arrived we found a nice spot on the grass and began to pass out dinner. About 5 minutes after we arrived it started raining really hard. At first we thought that it was going to be a passing shower so we just sat there and kept eating. Boy were we wrong!!! It rained for about 5 minutes really, really hard. The kids were screaming like crazy people so Scott and I decided to try to find them some shelter, while Steve and Natalie tried to save some food and supplies that we had taken with us. To late.....we were all soaked!!!!

Here is a photo of the mountain with all the water running off.

Natalie and Steve gathering all of our stuff to go home. We were only in the park about 10 minutes.

Here we are in the car. Half of us were stripped down to the bare necessties. I had a puddled of water forming in my seat.

Parking......$10

Food.....$32

Laughing so hard you can not walk......priceless!!
