Happy Cow Appreciation Day!

The kids and I were headed to town this week and
since we were already going I threw together some
free costumes and then we got free lunch!

Enjoying our new driveway!

Truck moving day

Aaron begged us for 2 months to be able to drive
his truck to the new house... this week was the right
time! And he was sooo excited!

Dollywood Bubble Show

Before and After House Pics

Here are few before and after photos of the new house--
some rooms (the kitchen) need alot of work but these
are some that are finished.  We love the new look!

Moving Day!

As soon as we got back from vacation we cleaned
the house for a showing and then after they came
to look we started moving! Uncle Matthew and Aunt
Brittney came that day to help us and the next day
Pop Pop and Ms. Judy came to help with the last
of it!  We are officially in our new home (3 houses
down the street) and have an offer on the old house
which we pray will close by the end of the month!

Shirt Image

In case you were wondering what the
image on the shirt looked like up close--
this is it....

Family Photos

The family vacation would not be
complete without a group photo.

Here are a few that were taken--
shirts made by me of course!

Vacation Day 5-- Dollywood

We spent a day and a half at Dollywood-- much to
our surprise we were there so long.  Also notice we
all wore our matching shirts which made it very easy
to spot each other in the park!  Everyone had a great
time!

Aaron's favorite ride was the "shooting star"

Avery's favorite ride was the 50s cars b/c she could
drive them herself!

Vacation Day 4-- bear hunt!

On this day we ventured off from the group to go
to Cade's Cove to look for some bears (Gram and Paw Paw
went the day before and they saw some).  I
am not that great with winding roads so the trip
there and back was not that fun for momma!  We didnt
see any bears but the kids had fun eating snacks and
we did spot some deer and wild turkeys

Vacation Day 3-- Go Carts!

On day 3 Andrew and Aaron plus all
the older kids went to ride go carts. 
You paid a base price and then road
as much as you wanted during the day.

There was also a small rollercoaster.

Avery and Mommy and Aunt Brittney
opted for the outlet mall that was right
next door!

We all had a quick pinic in the van during go cart day

Vacation Day 2--- Arriving at the cabin

After Chattanooga we arrived at our cabin in Pigeon
Forge...It was very nice and very big! Which was great
because there is alot of us to take it up!

The kids enjoyed exploring and all the big ones took
a dip in the hot tub!

 

 

Chattanooga with Elizabeth and Spencer

I'm not sure why these pictures are all out of order
but since Uncle Matthew, Aunt Brittney, Elizabeth,
and Spencer were spending the night in Chattanooga
as well we all decided to do an activity together.  We
choose the Incline railway.  It was exciting for all the kids
and the adults too... and it went really high!
