Happy Birthday, Katie!!! WE LOVE YOU

Kaleb's purchase

Kaleb combined two birthday gifts and bought a new bigger bike for himself. He used the Toys-R-Us gift card that Uncle Brandon and Aunt Annie gave him and money that Uncle Caleb sent him...adding both gifts together, it was enough for a bike!

Thank you, Uncles and Aunt! :)

Day at the beach

An afternoon at the lake

Today's temp was in the low 90's. So we cooled off in a swimming hole at one of the many state parks on Norris Lake.

Me and My Friend

Jo and Ryan arrived here Friday evening. Saturday, we went to Ijams Nature Center and had a great time walking the trails...and then came home and played around the house.
Allyson was just crazy about Jo's little Volkswagon Beetle. Can you see Allyson driving a little VW Beetle one day? Haha! :) Allyson got to ride this morning to church in "The Bug" w/Jo and Ryan...she liked that! I had such a great time w/my sweet friend...thank you for visiting, Jo. Come again anytime!

DOV

Last night was our church's monthly Daughters of Virtue meeting. Our craft project was to make a fruit bouquet...Allyson, Erika(Jack and Kathy's daughter), and I made this one together. We had a fun evening! Although it was a "girls only" night, Kaleb and Travis had to come along...they had the nursery for the evening all to themselves. :)

Travis Casting

You will notice Allyson and Kaleb exploring an island across from Travis...and Kevin is out in the lake swimming.

Caught in a storm

Last week we went to Cove Lake in Lafollette, TN to ride the bike trails. It was a perfect sunny day...BUT THEN, all of a sudden this terrible thunderstorm and a torrent of rain quickly moved in. Like many others, we ran for the nearest sheltered picnic area. It was a little unnerving. I have an understanding now of what it might have been like for the people who were in the floods in Oklahoma and Arkansas.

Are you a man or a "mouth"?

My two little bundles of joy

Kevin's All-Star Game

Kevin had his first game playing for our church's baseball team.
Kevin got on base every bat.
He was the only one that seemed to know how to slide
Kevin said that he hasn't had to run that fast since high school
They Won! They are playing all summer and are playing all different types of men's teams.

We headed out to the lake early this morning...and had a splendid time...our first entire day together as a family in a loooong time.

Kaleb's Birthday

Thank you, Papa and Grandma, Grandaddy and Grandmother, Ms Barbara and Aunt Kristin, for the presents and cards you gave me on my birthday!
After a delightful lunch at Kaleb's favorite place, we went back home to eat birthday ice cream cake and open presents.
Then the kids and I took a bike ride...
