Tooth Be Gone

Whitney is still losing teeth.  This one actually had to be taken out by Dr. Harmon, but none the less it is out!  Those big girl teeth are coming in fast!

Who says you have to play indoors when it's raining???

Celebrating #11

11 years we've been making this thing official.  11 years of ups and downs and sideways and circles.  11 years (and then some) of memories and learning and growing and getting through this life together.  I couldn't ask for a better someone to spend my time with.  No one is better equipped to deal with me, handle me, love me and care for me.  So thankful for him and his ways (even the ones that can drive me bonkers.)  Thank you for just being you.

Catchin' Frogs

Nothing makes this girl smile more than being able to go out back and catch her some frogs!  She and her sister have named one "Chirpface" because he "chirps".  Disclaimer: He only chirps because they are squeezing him to death...possibly literally.  His chirp could be translated, "Please, cute little girls, stop squeezing me until my eyeballs pop out!  And while you're at it, please stop dropping me on my head and cramming me into that dinky bug catcher.  I'm not a bug!  I'm a frog...well, really I'm a toad, so you can also stop calling me a frog!"  Poor toads are going to wish they never took up residence under our back patio.

Gettin' Tossed

One of the girls new favorite things to do in the pool with daddy!  Looks semi-miserable to me...but they LOVE it!

Father's Day Camping Trip

It seemed like a good idea.  A long Father's Day weekend doing what he loves, camping in an RV, exposing the girls to the fine establishments Chattanooga has to offer.  That is, until a little furry friend decided to take up residence and keel over in our friends RV that we were supposed to borrow.  After many long hours of trying to remedy the situation, it was a no-go.  So we changed it up and headed to tent camp at Victoria Bryant State Park.  Just an hour or so away.  We hiked, fished, rode bikes on some very hilly roads, played on the playground, found some super fun rapids to play in, and just spent some good quality time together!  Of course, we also celebrated the best daddy ever!  We are thankful for all he does for us.  We are some lucky, lucky girls!

Gone to Iowa (and Ohio)

We officially kicked off our summer with a road trip to Des Moines, Iowa.  What's in Des Moines you ask?  Cousins!  Than and Jennifer have lived out there for a few years now and since we haven't been there, we decided to go check it out!  The kids had a great time playing together, dress up, slip n slide, smores, Sky Zone, movies...We even got to celebrate Andrew's 5th birthday!  Fun to the max!  Grammy and Grandpa came out too to join in on the fun.  They actually took the girls back to Ohio for the week while Ben and I headed back home to work on things around the house.  We are thankful for the time to get some stuff done and glad the girls had fun in Ohio, but we are even more glad that they are back home with us.  We missed those little sweet faces!

We saw a lot of this between Georgia and Iowa

Fun with cousins!

Just a small taste of the girls fun in Ohio.  Baby cows, boats, cousins, dress up.  Not pictured, lots of family, more baby cows, horses, slumber parties, crafts and more!
