Learning to ride a bike!!!

Hey, papaw,do you want to ride with me? Come on and get in and lets go.

Jakob watching as his sister ride her bike in the yard.

Get set, this is where Brianna would start riding her bike..it was easier because it would go down hill.


Turning is just not that easy in the grass.


Library Fun the summer of 2009

Here is the finished project from the Digging Up Dinosaur Bones.... All the kids got to chip away at this stone to make the sculpture for the library.



Jakob even got a chance to pound, he loved it and after they chipped away at the stone, they received a stone and it was turned into a necklace.

Brianna's turn to chip away at the stone.

I think I found West Virginia, one of the stations at the library was state match. The kids were to find stones that looked like a state and then place the stone on the map.




Camping in the Back Yard, the only way to camp.

Here we are in the back yard going to camp out, my next door neighbor made a fire for us to use. We made smores and sang songs before turning in at about 11:00. Once inside the tent we watched a movie, or tried but we fell asleep.
What pillow do you want? The kids enjoying the tent after we set it up.



Testing the lanterns, can you see me MIMI?

All done, and time to get the blankets. Tent set up..

More Vacation time.....

Mom, do you like my necklace? I didn't have to pay her to hold the snake she just loved it.


Here is a snapping turtle found in Mississippi. He wasn't too happy, don't you see how he has his mouth open. We could touch every animal except this one, no one wanted to lose a finger.






Brianna is touching the aligator. We are having so much fun.

Vacation is here....Smoky Mountains

Hey, who says this is a bathtub. Brianna and Shelby used the tub for a play area. We are having a great time with our friends here at the Smoky Mountains.


Brianna is petting a tarantula at the rainforest adventure zoo. I told here I would give her 20 dollars if she would hold the spider and she did. Then at the gift shop she bought a snake(toy).
We had so much fun go to Face Book and see some more pictures of the trip. This is only day two, the first day was driving and shopping for food.






Brianna is walking through the bamboo. She knew so many of the animals that were in the zoo.
