Spring Break camping

We took a short camping trip to Blue Ridge, GA for spring break. We got there when the weather was in the 70's and left it in the 30's and snowing. Only in the south in April! Here is the view from our campsite. Just a really nice place. We will definitely go back.

Avery loves to dance. This is at the drive-in in Blue Ridge

before the movies.

All pooped out after a fun weekend!

The gang on the swinging bridge. This bridge was built in the late 70's over the Toccoa River about 4 miles back in the woods. Took a little bit to get to, but so worth it. Very cool.




Parker loves to ride his bike where ever he can so riding in the snow was a must!

And then our camping trip turned to a snowy one. We knew the possibility was there and it was fun playing in it for a little while.



My big helper washing dishes. The sink in the camper is only about 12 " by 6" and 4" deep so you can't fit much in there, but she wanted to help so bad.

Parker and his early birthday present. He wants to learn to surf so bad. Would you ever believe that we found someone selling it in Blue Ridge, GA???

Parker is putting out his boat to "surf". This was the Toccoa River right next to our campsite.

Best Friends and Egg Hunts

Avery is a big girl!

Avery turned 2 on St. Patty's Day! We can't believe it's already here. We had a great turn out even though the weather didn't want to cooperate.



SNOW DAY!!!!

Our snow bunnies in the BIG (just kidding) snow of the year!

We love to make pizzas!

Our precious babies

I love the way she looks at him. Even if one minute she is tackling him and the next she is hugging him without being asked, she seriously loves him. It's so sweet!


More Shamu and Dr. Suess

This is on the Caro-Suessal (carousel) in the Suessville area at Islands of Adventure. It feels like you are walking in Whoville.



This is Avery's fish face.











Sea World and Universal

We took a trip with my parents and Trevor and Emily for New Year's to Sea World and Universal Studios. It was a great time and the kids were excited to see Shamu again



We got a picture like this of them last summer when Avery was 4 months old so we might be starting a tradition.


Christmas 2008

Here are some pictures of Christmas from our gang. Avery got the whole kitchen with food, utensils, plates, tea sets, etc. We put it all in the playroom downstairs and she wants to go downstairs every second now. Parker's big present from Santa was a remote controlled truck with a 4-wheeler on a trailer. We will find room for all the stuff in time for birthdays in a few months! Thank you Santa (and grandparents)!




This is Parker and his buddies with their siblings at the Marietta square to see Santa.


Do you think she gave Santa a kiss after this? Even after the terrifying experiences with Santa (here and at church), she would still wave at him wherever and would say "Woo Woo Woo" when asked what Santa says.


I love this picture.
