Atlanta Aquarium

While we were road trippin, we headed on over to Atlanta to see some friends that used to be our neighbors in Ponca City. It was so good to see them. Most of the time we sat out on the screened in porch, listened to football, and sat and talked. Just like old times. Of course we had to eat some key lime pie while we were there. An old tradition of ours. :) Thanks for a great time Bryan and Sandy!! Of course I forgot to take a picture of them.

While we were there we did make it to the Atlanta Aquarium. It was AWESOME, and the kids loved it!

Some of the sights overhead. This was really cool.

Some kind of shark.

CT and KG loved this room. T thought we needed on in the living room. :)

Beluga Whales


CT touching the sea anemone.
KG wanted to be sure she touched the "cinnamon fish" also. :)

Watching the jelly fish.



KG went right up to this alligator and stuck her hand at his mouth. Good thing she has a healthy fear of them. What am I going to do with her?

Road Trippin!

We are out road trippin this week. :) T was invited to come and do a wedding in Tennessee of a former youth. We have had a blast getting to see old friends and just relaxing. I will post more as we travel along. :)

CT and Daddy took in a golf game before the wedding.
CT's incredible photography skills. Daddy taking a swing.

The wagon outside the little wedding chapel. The leaves were so pretty here! Me, KG, and Jill (her brother was the one who got married) Mommy and CT. KG. :) I love this one.
Jumping! CT had a blast in the leaves!

BSF....Back in the swing of things!

This morning we finally got to go back to BSF. It started two weeks ago, but the first week I was out sick, and last week was our first JNJ Children's Consignment Sale of the season. We have another one in our town next week. The kids and I both had a great time. We are studying Moses this year. Which I believe covers Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. KG came home today telling me she learned about Jonah....no Mosa! CT explained the whole story of baby Moses, and then at the end exclaimed, "And you know what....God had a plan!" It was precious!

This is the church where we attend BSF. If you are looking for a Bible Study to get involved in, I highly recommend this. They are held all over the country, it runs during the school year, and is off when school is off. Also, if you have small children from 2-5years, they have a WONDERFUL program for them too. Plus it's FREE!! They also have night classes, and classes for older kids.
CT and KG excited about returning to BSF!!
Sibling love.....this didn't last long. :)
KG and Mommy. CT took this for us.

CT and Mommy. Since Bubba got to take a picture so did KG. :)

Curious George Comes to Town

At 7:30 this morning, KG was in my room wanting to know if it was time to go and see Curious George. :) We got up, got dressed, had a little breakfast, and headed to the library to see Curious George, who would make his appearance around 10am. We were up in plenty of time. :)

Ms. Pat our Children's Librarian read us, "Curious George Gets a Medal".
Here comes Curious George.

KG could not contain her excitement and ran up to give him a hug. CT hung out in the background with me.
CT was more content to cover pictures of George with glue and glitter. He also made a medal just like George got that is hanging around his neck.
KG with Curious George......again. I think we had several photo shoots, and a lady from the paper took her picture also.
CT didn't want much to do with George, BUT he made sure George saw his new shoes! :)

The Big Apple!

Well, I am finally getting back to the blog. We have been out of town celebrating our 8th anniversary, and this week has been crazy. T and I headed to NYC to hang out and relax. We had a great time. We were also able to spend some time with my brother who lives there. It was great to see him!

View from our hotel. Ground zero 7 years later. They have built one building over to the right, but that is all so far.
T and I at the top of Top of the Rock. The view was beautiful from up there. I liked it better than the Empire State Building. There wasn't anything to block your view. It was really windy though.

My brother Chris and me. Still super windy. My hair was everywhere!

U.S. Open. T and I headed to the Open on Monday. It was really cool. We watched Nadal play.
T surprised me and took me to Tavern on the Green for our anniversary. Had I known we were going I would have dressed a little nicer. :) T assured me that they would take our money no matter how we were dressed! ha!
The ceiling in the dining room.
View of the gardens from our table.

Crazy Times Square. There are so many people in this area at all times.
Macy's! :) and the Empire State Building.
Ellis Island. We took the boat over. I wanted to see this place since this is where my great grandfather came through. It was pretty cool to see.
The Statue of Liberty. I love her! :)
View of Manhattan today without the twin towers.

We were also able to take in several Broadway shows, but you are not allowed to take any pictures. So I followed the rules. :) We had a great time, and will be back soon I am sure! :)

First Day of Wee School!

Today was the last First Day for CT at Wee School. KG still has two more years. All of us were MORE than excited for Wee School to start back up. The kids loved their new teachers, classes, and seeing their friends. Mommy enjoyed a couple of hours to get some things done. Here's to another GREAT year!

KG and CT ready for Wee School!
