Land Between the Lakes

My beautiful sis, Mindy, and I.

We acted as if Mindy caught the minnow that Vincent had bought for bait.

Extremely handsome Elem. Elem is such a good kid. The entire vacation he did take one toy from Wyatt and he shared everything he had. They were very similar in that they both enjoyed playing around eachother with out doing annoying things. They both like there own space, which was perfect. Since I do not see Elem a lot I didn't know he was going to be good with Wyatt but I was just amazed and excited that they did so well together. Elem also has such a great imagination and plays so well by himself and with Mindy and Seth. He is not one that needs constant audience attention so we were all able to talk and enjoy ourselves.

This was Wyatt's favorite thing to do as you will see in upcoming pics!

Our new baby boy, Cash. He is definately all we could have ever wanted in another dog. He definately is not Thorn but he is wonderful. He is so happy go lucky and up for anything. So far he is wonderful with strangers but would rather not be near other dogs. We are in love with this already 28lb boy. We got him about 2 months ago and he weighed 16lbs. He now out weighs Wyatt.

My beautiful baby.

Docked on a beach swimming.

Look how opposite they are:)

Wyatt's favorite thing except I could not throw him high enough.

But daddy can! Look at Wyatt cheerleader pose.

Model man.

We had just finished tubing. Wyatt loves tubing!!! He always says he want to ride in the tire.

Memaw and Wyatt.

The Zoo

Keller and Wyatt looking for the jaguar.

Wyatt sitting in front of the jaguar.

Wyatt's favorite animal at the zoo-his pet stick and rocks. Amazing that he loves the rocks most out of all the beautiful animals there. Oh well I think it is pretty cute and funny.
We went to the Zoo the other day with Keller, Gavin, and Luke (plus the moms:)) and I only got one shot of the boys. They all like something different at the Zoo so it is so hard to get a shot of all of them at once.

Small Group at our house

Brigg and his beautiful son Tucker.

Vincent and Nick.

Leslie, Leah, Kelly, Laura, and baby Eliza.

I love this picture because Eliza is not even Leslie's baby but Leslie is just a natural with kids. She and her husband Nick do not have children but have always been so welcoming to all of us that do. They are just a wonderful couple and I can't wait until they have kids.

We had small group the other night at our house. Now that we 7 kids in our group things can be very exciting and loud but we love it.

Mini Vacation to North Carolina

Wyatt playing peek a boo.

Mr Bobby taught Wyatt how to hit the tennis ball with the tennis racket!!!

The beautiful North Carolina Mountains and the super clear Hiwasee Lake.

Me and my smiley husband.

Viincent and I got to take a wonderful vacation to North Carolina about a week ago. We pulled our boat and spent most of our 2 days on the lake. We also took our bikes ( we are both training for the Waterfront Triathlon) so we biked and ran on morning. We had a wonderful relaxing time. Thanks to Vincents parents for watching Wyatt, especially Mr Bobby. Mrs Lynette came down with an illness so Mr Bobby took Wyatt. He even took him to his work for a meeting! Oh and thanks to the girls in his office for watching Wyatt during the meeting:)

Lookout Valley playground

The boys checking out the train. Arie, Stephanie, and I always talk about how cute it is that out boys all have a different color hair.

Arie, Keller, and Wyatt.

Wyatt swinging, and if you look close his hands are over his eyes and he is saying "no" because he hates having his picture taken. When will this phase end. I am thinking never because Vincent still hates having his picture taken.

Family

My sweet cousin Jeff. I love when Jeff comes to town. He always stops by to hang out for a bit. His job requires him to travel and fortunately he has to travel around East Tennessee. I love you Jeff and thanks for everything you do to help me and my family. We appreciate it more than you will ever know.

Vincent, Grandma Beasley, and Wyatt. Grandma Beasley is 91 and she is definately one of the greatest women I know. Although she is of the female gender, she never complains about anything (which I know is in my nature and I also know it is in most women's nature) :). She is always happy and upbeat in every situation. I love being around her and I am truly trying to adopt some of her characteristics. Such an amazing woman.

Wyatt playing Grandma Beasley's piano. He loves music.

Oh and I added in the train at the mall. The blue car is holding Wyatt and Vincent. I love this train!!!! Such a cute idea to have at the mall.

Wyatt's first fair

Vincent and I took Wyatt to his first fair a couple of weekends ago. He loves riding rides so we spent the majority of the time waiting in line and riding the rides. He even rode the ferris wheel!!! I guess that is exciting to me because I hate the ferris wheel because of how high it goes. I have never enjoyed rides so I was glad that Vincent was there to take Wyatt on the rides. I love experiencing every new thing with Wyatt!!!
