July 4th weekend

Well, we had a busy weekend and didn't even see any fireworks, Crazy, huh? Mark, Chase, Adam, Andrea and I all went to Chattanooga on Friday the 4th to go to the aquarium. It was a really neat place and Chase loved it. He wants to go back every day! We just made a day trip out of it, but we hope to make a weekend trip out of it next time! We also saw an Imax movie. Chase did good for the first 20 minutes, after that, he wanted nothing to do with his glasses, or the movie really. It was about sharks and dolphins, which I thought he'd like...but I guess 45 minutes is too long to sit still after 3 hrs of walking around the aquarium!

We were so tired when we got back, we all decided to go to bed and missed out on any fireworks. However, there were plenty of people shooting them off in our neighborhood, so we definitely heard them...just didn't see them! Fortunately, it didn't keep Chase from sleeping-whew!

On Saturday, Adam was able to score us some tickets to Kenny Chesney. It was a great time, but a long day. We got there about 4:30, left about 11pm, got home at 2am-ouch! The traffic leaving the LP Field was AWFUL. Included with KC were Keith Urban, Leann Rhimes, Sammy Hagar and Gary Allen. We missed Gary Allen, but saw the rest. The tickets were free, so thats good, but check out the picture of the stadium...this is from our seat! :) (not exactly front row!)

Thats about it for the 4th, I hope everyone had a safe and happy one! I'm heading to LR this weekend for my reunion!

June 08

Oh my goodness, I can't believe another month has gone by! Unbelievably, I don't recall taking any pictures this month-yikes! I'll now never remember what I did in June 2008, huh? Mom came to visit at the end of May for the weekend. You can see her and Chase making garlic bread. She also bought and planted a tomato plant for Chase for his birthday-check this out!
Well, we had a pretty good month. I went to FL to Jennifer's baby shower, it was a great time. I forgot my camera, so I missed out on those shots! The below is what her sister-in-law took, so at least there is proof that I was there! I was then in STL for an entire week of work-oh well, someone's gotta do it! After that was Father's Day, we cooked out a yummy dinner on the grill and just had family time. Chase and Mark have been working on potty training this month and doing quite well!!
Our friends from Florida, Michelle and Jacob and McKenzie came the next weekend. We had a great time. J&M are 4 1/2 yrs old, so Chase loved playing with them. Again, I forgot pics. Hopefully Michelle will send me some when she gets back from her 3wk long trip. UPDATE!!! Michelle was able to send some pics! Aren't they cute!
This past weekend, Chase started riding his bike, its so cute. I'm going to try and upload a video for you to see. (see bottom of post) Unfortunately, this was taken by my camera, so it has no sound, but you still can see whats going on!
Last night we had Brent, Amanda, Emma Cate and Will over for dinner. I finally remembered to take some pictures!

This coming weekend is July 4th, we're planning to go to Chattanooga to the Aquarium with Uncle Adam and Andrea. Surely, we'll get some pictures this weekend. Also, on Saturday, we're going to the Kenney Chesney concert. I love KC and Adam got free tickets, what a better way to spend a day, huh?
I hope everyone is having a great summer, ours is good so far!

Fun with friends!!!

Below are some pictures with our friends that I thought I'd post! The first 2 are at our neighbors house one Saturday afternoon. It just so happened that everyone was outside at the same time...and everyone wanted to play! So, why not order pizza, let the kids play and enjoy an impromptu party!

Today, we went to a birthday party in Nashville! This was Owen's 3rd Birthday. He must LOVE bugs because they were every where, on the cake, in the goodies-WOW, what a bug guy! As you can see, Chase was intently watching the blowing of the candles beacuse he was ready to dig into the cake! Talk about having a fun backyard! Look at all the cool things we got to play with! Chase had a great time! The party was a dropin from 10-1, we got there about 11, and it was perfect...believe it or not, at 1:00 ON THE DOT, it started raining...then continued to pour very hard. By the time we got back to Franklin, it had stopped...which was good, because we're scheduled to go to a BBQ tonight....well, now its pouring down rain here-so we'll see how the rest of the night goes!

Happy Memorial Day weekend to all, hopefully you're getting to play outside wherever you may be!
