Grotto Falls

We took both the boys hiking in the Smoky Mountains...Chris had to carry Sam... I forgot the "hippie wrap"...oops





we saw DINNER...these turkeys blocks the road...so funny to see on Thanksgiving





...the views were breath taking...Tanner talked the whole time about all the things GOD made...when we saw the waterfalls he asked..."How did He do that, Mom?"







...big ol' bundle of joy

Loving My Family

We came to the mountains for Thanksgiving...it's amazing. The boys are in heaven. Tanner brought his rifle and immediately had to go looking for bears and deer.



...it's 3am in this photo...the boys got a second wind when we got here...Chris was sound asleep with the boys crawling all over him...we were looking forward to the king size bed...looks like the boys are gonna be sharing...fun, fun

Whatever it takes!

My Little HOARDER

I THROW EVERYTHING AWAY...TO THE POINT WHERE SOMETIMES I AM LOOKING FOR SOMETHING AND REMEMBER I GAVE IT AWAY OR TOSSED IT! FOR TANNER, EVERY ITEM HAS A SPECIAL MEANING.

 

THIS IS TANNER...REFUSING TO GIVE AWAY HIS PUMPKIN...BECAUSE IT WAS "THE FIRST PUMPKIN HE AND SAM PICKED TOGETHER"...AND YES WE PUT OUT CHRISTMAS LIGHTS BEFORE THANKSGIVING!

Can we do school today?

COLOR WHEEL EXPERIMENT

 

SINK OR FLOAT

His guess of what will sink and what will float...

 

He had so much fun!

 

All Smiles!

Sweet Sam..You are 7 months today!

I love the way your cheeks fluff up when you sleep.
I love how you are only interested in Tanner's toys.
I love when you reach out for me when someone else is holding you.
I love those big blue eyes.
I love that you had us all fooled by being such a sweet, quiet baby and now you go 90 miles an hour just like Tanner.

 

 

 

 

Tub Tablets

COLORFUL ICE CUBES FOR THE BATH
Need:
food coloring
muffin tin
water
freezer

These worked great in the TUB! You need to use about 5-6 food coloring drops per muffin tin. They were lots of fun to make and CHEAP!!!
(this was not my idea...but i can't remember where i saw it)
