Summer trip to Tennessee

Immediately following our trip to the lake we headed up to a quick Tennessee visit.  We really packed a lot in and saw a lot of family!

Anna and Brinley---look how big she is getting :)

 Jackson was in Heaven when he saw her since he LOVES babies!!

 sweet smile!!

 We took a day trip to the Smoky Mountains and played in the water

 even Brinley joined in the fun

 Shared a meal at Ryans---lovely buffet

 Look!  Twin cousin "rellas"

 Anna got to meet Mocha the Cat (she was in love) and we got a nice shot of the Mowrer Men

 Tim flew in to see us all.  It was so nice to be together again

 Even Daddy came in for a quick visit to meet his only niece

 Cousins....check out the new homemade bows.....

 And you can't go to East Tennessee without a trip to Dollywood!!

 And absolutely CANNOT go without a stop for Big Ed's PIZZA

Great to see all kinds of family on our visit!!  Great Summer travels to catch up with everyone

Father's Day and 4th of July

This blog is way over due!!  For Father's Day we headed out to the horse races.  The kids thought it was super fun watching the horses

 Getting ready to place their bets

 Down on the track

 And Mike and I used to LOVE Mellow Mushroom pizza when we lived in Atlanta so it was well worth the drive to Fort Worth for some favorite pizza

 First time at the fireworks was a huge success!  The kids LOVED the experience.  They loved the people, band and fire works

 Oh, and let's not forget the car show with a REAL TRANSFORMER!!!  Jackson couldn't believe a Deception was there

 Awesome dance moves

 And Bear and Honey celebrated too.  Check that out---OUCH!

Introducing.....HONEY

Meet Honey...our new addition to the family. 

 We've had her for 1 week so she's now 9 weeks old and a wonderful new family member. 

 She and Bear are becoming good buddies.

 Jackson got a 3D book about how to care for a puppy and he's been a great helper in training her and teaching her to go potty outside

 Bear and Honey playing with a new toy

 A little sisterly tug-a-war

 kisses

 And there is nothing sweeter than a sleeping baby.  So precious!!

Honey is learning to come and has already mastered "sit"---what a smart little girl.  She's also going on day 3 of NO accidents in the house!!  Whoo hoo!
