Olive Garden

Sometimes there just has to be date night ( or day ) right?

Joe hadn't been to Olive Garden ( yeah I know right?? ) yet so we went. His uncle told him all they served was salad... lol

Their salad is awesome though... mmm

Sprinklers!

We went to our local park and were playing in the sprinklers... what in the world am I doing to Nate? lol


William was having way too much fun! lol

Knoxville Park

First time at the Knoxville park at World's Fair Park. :)


This pic of William is just so darn cute. Thought it HAD to be posted up!! hehe

Chucky Cheese

The other day we took the little rascals to chuck e cheese aka the cheesey rat if you watch veggie tales. lol

A mommy never gets to rest. *sigh*



he's like dude... there is a BIG rat behind me. lol



Pizza good guys??



what fun. gotta love playing and eating some good healthy bbq chicken pizza.... mmm I wouldn't mind eating some right now! hehe

Fields Of The Woods Trip

We've finally got a kid old enough to take pictures of us! yay... thanks Nathan. lol



Doesn't he look so happy? lol





We headed out to Murphy NC where the Fields Of The Woods is. I hadn't been for years and the kids and Joe had never been so it was lots of fun to check it out again!

We always try to keep it healthy and fun so we try to do activities outdoors and see new sites. You know what a health nut I am!

You can't help but get some exercise going up these stairs! We went up both sides. lol







If you are ever in the area it's definitely a cool place to check out!

Will's First Hair Cut and Nate Gets One Too

Well since Joe is home now we decided to get Will's first hair cut. He looks too grown up now!



William did great with his hair cut considering how little he is. Almost 18 months old now. =) I can't believe it. He did have a little bit of a fussy time though. hehe



Nathan said that he behaved a lot better than William did. :-P



Later that night Mom and Dad watched the boys so we could go to the movies. We saw Transformers 2. Rockin movie! A little much language for me though. :-/ Worth checking out.

Ripley's Aquarium Of The Smokies

Great to finally have Joe home so we can get some decisions made!


Tuesday morning!

What do you want to do today? I don't know what do you want to do today?

After about 30 minutes of that we decided on going to Ripley's Aquarium Of The Smokies. They are very supportive of the military so if you are in the military make sure you go and get a good military discount.

There are so many cool things to see at Ripley's and we try to go back pretty often. Now that William is old enough to enjoy it it was even more fun!





Our camera battery started dieing pretty quick into it. I guess we have been taking too many pictures. We haven't even had it for a week. lol Could be the videos too though.

Check out this one. We had some helium balloons left over from the welcome home. :-P



Anyway back to the Aquarium!







Can't wait to go back again!
