A little power ranger action

Gatlinburg aquarium and other sites

If you haven't been to the Gatlinburg Aquarium, it is a must see. Most of the aquarium is inside these tunnels and the fish are swimming all around you. The shark are so cool.

This was the underbelly of the sawfish shark inside the tunnel.

Jumping Jellyfish...

Upsidedown Wonderworks building in Pigeon Forge, TN

We ate blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, and a ham & egg omlete at the Log Cabin Pancake House... for supper. Yum, yum!

Cousin Brady's 7th birthday

March Trip to Georgia

We had to wait until Scott got off work on Friday to make our trip to Georgia. When Ryan found out we were going to Grandaddy and Gigi's house he packed his spiderman bag full of toys and was ready to go! We went to celebrate Scott's Grandaddy's 90th birthday and his Granny's 86th. We went up to his Uncle Ray and Aunt Martha's house on Lake Burton. It was stunning. Below is a view from the balcony.

First Practice Game...

These are the four amigos from Ryan's preschool class. Notice the Nemo friend. Each student in class gets to take turns taking home Nemo and then keep a journal about their happenings. Ryan was the first to take it home several weeks ago. One of our journal entries was him registering to play Tball. Now on Trey's entry they will have their first Practice game. Go Cardinals!

Aiden's idea of a good time on Spring Break

Tball is Here!

Weather in Alabama is absolutely crazy! All in one week we had 4 inches of snow and got a sunburn. And oh, by the way Aiden rolled over for the first time this week on Friday. He finally managed to get that big ole body turned over. Maybe it was the weather change. By Saturday, March 7th it was up in the 70s. I love it!

This is also the first year for Ryan to play Tball. It was beautiful and sunny at the ballpark on Saturday. But of course I didn't even think about our pasty white skin soaking up the beautiful sun. Scott is now a true redneck, and I got some on my face and chest where my shirt had a vneck. Ryan has a little redneck too. Only Aiden was safe in his stroller. It was so much fun to see those little boys run their hearts out at practice. We also kept some friends' kids that day so no nap and lots of play made for some tired boys that night!

All the boys practice running the bases. You would think it was a track race.

This was on Thursday night practice while it was still cold. Notice Ryan is our little leftie. They practiced hitting the ball into the fence.

Snow Much Fun!!!

We will post more pictures later. We just had to come in for a break becuase it was soooo cold. The snow was coming down so hard we could barely keep our eyes open for the photo.

Snow Day!
