Catching Up!!

It's been forever since I've been able to be around high-speed internet...so I have a little catching up to do. Here is a little of what we've been up to the past 3 months! (starting with the most recent)





Pa-Pa's Birthday


We went to see my Dad for his birthday this past weekend. That's what he said he wanted. She had fun eating bithday cake and playing with them.

Playing chase!

At Home

She pulled this blanket up and laid down all by herself one day.

Easter Pictures
It was nasty here on Easter, so I was very glad that I thought to take her out on Saturday and take her picture while it was warm and sunny. Sundays are hectic enough without the stress of trying to take pictures!!

Trip to Gatlinburg

Quinton and Lydia went to Gatlinburg and rented a cabin for 1/2 a week and invited us to stay 2 nights with them. It's was so beautiful and relaxing. It snowed the first day, but by the 2nd day we could wear short sleeves and do stuff outside. It was nice to get away.

Snow!!!

Trying to join Daddy in the hot tub

Uncle Q and Aunt Lid

Tuckered out....this bed was awesome. Since I couldn't go in the hot tub most of my time was spent lying on this bed and looking at this awesome view and enjoying the fireplace.

Part of our view off to the left of the deck

The view standing on the deck. All Quinton told Lydia that he wanted in a cabin was a good view...I think she did a pretty awesome job finding him one!

This was my view lying on the bed

Philip came a visited us one evening. (I'm sitting on the bed taking this picture) The fireplace was awesome, it was just cold enough to use it the whole time!

Mackenzie loved the jacuzzi. Her own "pool"

Playing arcades

'Playing' putt-putt

Aunt Lydia's Birthday Party

We surprised Lydia with lunch and a 'spa' day at my house.

Mackenzie watched every move we made

Of course she wanted to 'spa' as well. In the end she sat down in that water.
