Vacation

For vacation, we went to Tennessee with my parents and grandparents.  We went to Rock City, whitewater river rafting, Ripley's Aquarium and the Smoky Mountains.  The kids had a great time river rafting - it was their first time and they really enjoyed rock climbing down by the river in the national park.  The weather was so much cooler than it is here - wish we could have brought some of it home with us.



This was Nick's favorite part of Rock City - "Fat Man's Squeeze"



Waterfall at Rock City

Nick's favorite place to hang out at our cabin - the game room.  We had air hockey tournaments every night

Hiking up to Laurel Falls

We made it to Laurel Falls - a 2-mile hike each way

Mom and Meghan were the only ones brave enough to take the Sky Lift to the top of the mountain

Happy Birthday Meghan!

Eleven years ago today, I became a mom!  We were so excited when the doctor said, "It's a girl!".  Both grandmothers left the hospital and went crazy buying lots of pink clothes.  We are truly blessed to have Meghan as a daughter.  She is sweet, kind, and caring.  Here's some pictures to show how much she's grown over the last 11 years...

Spring Break Fun

After the Arboretum on Monday, we went to American Girl.  My best friend lives in the Dallas area so she brought her kids over and went shopping and ate lunch with us.  Even though there's a pretty big age difference between our kids, Meghan and Nick love to see her kids.

Spring Pics

On Monday, the kids and I went with my mom and Meghan's friend Tess to the Arboretum and American Girl.  The flowers at the Arboretum were absolutely gorgeous.  Here are some pictures from our morning.  I'll post pictures of American Girl later.
