4-H Camp……

I never went as a Kid….i never wanted to go as a kid ;-) I knew I wouldn’t survive! In fact, in 6th grade everyone went to Tremont… well I think I might have lasted possibly 48 hours before I caught a really bad stomach virus that would only be cured with a trip back to Kingston to be with my Momma ;-)this girl was homesick! The food wasn’t too great either! So my girl brings home the 4-H camp form this year……her first reaction…No way!!! So I am a happy momma…then the peer pressure came. 2 of her BFFs convinced my baby that 4-H camp would be a blast. So what happened…Baylee is at 4-H camp all week. I do have to say the little girl had mixed feelings about the trip! She has such an awesome momma that she didn’t want to leave for a week. haha. I get to pick that sweet face up tomorrow at 12:30. I will be waiting in the parking lot! To my advantage, a friend of mine went too. So I have gotten daily picture updates! Thanks a ton Brandi ;-) It has definitely made this week much better. 24 hours! The best thing is we are on vacation all next week! WOOHOO! California here we come ;-) and depending on how are sweet, adorable, perfect 2 year old does on the 4.5 hour plane ride ….we may be stuck there for a couple years ;-) that would be just fine with me! I love LA!! That is one place that when I visited; I said let me move here….PLEASE! But I’m sure I’d miss these Tennessee allergies that I am currently dealing with ;-)

Aww my baby is leaving me for 96 hours with no contact!

Way Way early for pictures

Buddies ;-)

Silly face....okay Baylee please stop...you are the only one making a silly face ;-)

SO……. I can’t wait to see my baby girl in 24 hours! 



The BEST place in TENNESSEE.....

I've said it before and I will say it again.....Townsend, Tennessee is the BEST place in Tennessee! 
My mimi would always took the boys and I to townsend to swim in the creek....the same creek she grew up in ;-) My mimi's family owned a few NICE pieces of land there!  No they have developed on it but use to just be open fields....so if you ever go to the store in towsend...you would be standing on land that was once in my family ;-) Maybe this is why I love this place!  So many memories made and so many memories to be made!  I think Matt may even love this place more than me! If you are EVER in need of a gorgeous, relaxing, fun and an awesome breakfast joint.....please visit Townsend!  We went up Saturday night for a quick stay.  We didn't even have a chance to go tubing!  But Matthew got some good ole Daddy's Day breakfast at his favorite breakfast place!  New management, which scared matt at first but he confirmed.....same great mountain man breakfast!

Happy Daddy's Day, Daddy Eric!!! (aka Matthew Eric)

Priceless 

horrible self portait but ya know

nothing like a late night family uno game! 

Just before uno...aka my all time FAV game!

You have 3 gals that love you to pieces! We may not ALWAYS show you just how much we love you ;-) but trust me its to the moon and back.....possibly a couple trips!!! Love you, honey!

You are an amazing daddy to our girls!

 

Can't wait to see this sign again soon...

Matthew's Dad ;-)

My Dad ;-)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL

I know that its random who's bday gets on here...I promise its just by chance....and I really want to do better and put EVERYONES bday on here!  So from this day forward maybe I will ;-)

Anywho...Our nephew Will...may have had the BEST birthday party I have ever attended!

A baseball field in the back yard!  love it!

Mattison got some Grandma and Papaw lovin'

Yay for cupcakes ;-)

This was my 2nd Carly Cupcake in one week!!

The BEST cupcakes in town!

They also had the hotdog man (from lowes) there with his cart!  Yummy!  They are the BEST hotdogs ever.  He is at the lowes in Harriman, Tenn every Saturday and Sunday...if you have a love for hotdogs then you MUST try them!!

I can not believe this lil' man is 7!  Matt's sister was 4 months pregnant the first time I met her...i can't believe how time flies!

We love you birthday boy!

(i have no pictures of the birthday boy...he was non stop playing baseball)

.....Kiddos....

Colton got to stay the night with Aunt Robin and Uncle Matt ;-)

I think this is the perfect SUMMERTIME photo!

We grilled out Friday night with all the kiddos. Rachel and Miss Raina joined us!  We had a blast!

Baylee and Kaylee wanted to sleep in a tent....I let them stay in it until about 11:40 then made them come in.  Why all of the sudden are things too dangerous for my kids but 15 years ago they were perfectly safe for me ;-)

Mattison drove Colt all day Saturday!

Colton got sick Saturday ;-( BUT we will make up for it next time!

Hurry and come back to play with us lil' man! We love you!! xoxo

we found her a J.O.B. at the age of 10

Photography...and if ya need one....

i know a lovely, adorable gal for the job ;-)

well Baylee has taken an interest in photography. 

she is just a lil gal makin' memories and capturin' each moment with a snap!

I have to say she has a heart for it and amazes me at time ;-) 

here are a few recent pictures that she has taken!

sorry for the kind of blurriness....i enlarged after on my computer and I am not sure what happened

have i said we LOVE the park....

weekend fun

We started our weekend at the ball field Saturday ;-)

this gal loves her some softball ;-) and i love seeing her play

Awesome group of girls

I left the games early to take Mattison to one of her little buddy's birthday party!  Mattison generally misses out on a lot of birthday parties.  We are changing that now that she is older and knows that she wants to see and play with her friends just like Issy does!

Happy Birthday Sadie!  Thank you for inviting us to celebrate your special day! 

The party was perfect ;-) Kiddos had a blast!

*love these girls*
