Smokey Mountains

Last weekend we rented a log cabin in the Smokey Mountains for 5 days. It was BEAUTIFUL! This is the view we got to wake up to every morning :)I took 250 pictures while we were there ( don't worry I will NOT post all of them), so its safe to say I went a little picture crazy. Most of them were just of the beautiful mountains.

The first day we went to the National Park and drove the loop called Cades Cove. We also got in a little hiking:

We also went to a Train Museum in Townsend:The Dinosaur Walk Museum in Pigeon Forge:

Digging for fossils: We took the kids to the Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg: And to the Ripley's David Crockett Mini-golf:

Dominic was able to meet his hero, Bumblebee:

Maybe not in the form he would want to but he was still super excited :) Jeremy got to see his dream car: We did a hike to Grotto Falls. The only waterfall in Tennessee that you can walk behind: We had such a great time. I can't wait for a chance to go again!

:)

Nothing too exciting happened this week, ended up being pretty laidback. So I just have a few random pictures I thought I would share :)

Dominic and Autumn dancing together:

Bedtime story:

Some crazy hair after naptime: An art project from Sunday school: Autumn's is more of an abstract sheep :) My little ragamuffins after some summertime fun outside: First time with painted fingernails!

Recap

So I have fallen horribly behind on updating the blog. Sorry! So I will catch up! Summer came and went just so fast!

The beginning of August the kids and I took a trip to PA. We took the kids camping! Hanging out with Uncle Jason:

We had a get-together at my cousin Amy's and the kids got to slip-n-slide:

My parents had a birthday celebration for Dom:

And when we came back from PA, Maw Maw and Paw came for a visit! We had Dominic's Birthday party!

He's a little Transformer crazy so....that of course was what he wanted the theme to be.

His cake: He got a few Transformers: Even some Transformer tats: Jeremy and I got to have a date night (Thank you so much to the in-laws ;)!!!!)

Last but not least: Dominic had his first day of Pre-K!

He looked like such a big guy! Can't believe school has already started! Hope everyone had a great month!

A busy week

We had a lot of fun this week! We went to the museum in Clarksville which has a floor just for kids. Playing with a train table:

Shopping at the play store:

Rolling the golf ball down the ramps: The funnel is Autumn's favorite: We took a hike and had a picnic at Dunbar Cave: A Ta-Da moment :) We went to the Nashville Zoo. In the bamboo forest: In the petting zoo area:
