Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Easter, Pigeon Forge and other fun things!

Well...I took an unintentional blog break...but I'm back. It was way too much work to try to upload all these pictures at once. Also, I find that when I blog I get more pictures of the kids. These are also in opposite order of events....sorry. Blogger is not supper easy to move pictures around. This is Caden and Addison playing last night while I was at church! I love that they adore each other even if she does look annoyed! Can you believe this sweet girl is 7.5 months old? We can't!

Mimi, Pop pop, Ryan, Payton and Taylor came for a long weekend. We had a great time. We did the Science Center, Bumper Jumpers and of course soccer!

Addison and I at Bumper Jumpers!



We went to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge for our first vacation with just the 4 of us! We had a GREAT time! We went to a great place called Wonder Works!
We all had a great time! I think Brian could have spent an entire day there! Addison got in a great nap in the stroller despite the place being packed because of the rain!





Caden ventured inside the space ship!




Caden and Daddy were both astronauts!




Looking for a purple bead in over a million yellow and orange ones! They did not find it. Caden was done looking after about...oh...30 seconds!





Here's Easter...in reverse order of course! The playground continued! We NEVER could have imagined this being as big of an ordeal as it was! Also, Brian could have never done it without all the help he got. You saw in the last post that Matt helped level the land. Then the next saturday Jeremy and Andy came over and helped Brian. Sunday afternoon I helped (ha!) and then my Dad found out Caden and I were his only helpers. Within 5 minutes my Dad was over to help for several hours! Certainly he didn't think that Caden and I weren't ample help!




How could I forget that she helped too! Someone had to hold the box down and look adorable!








We enjoyed a nice Easter lunch at the Print Works Bistro!



Believe it or not Caden was more interested in Addison's Easter basket than his own. Each of our children get to use my first Easter basket for their first Easter. Addison has a VERY cute basket for next year...don't worry it was monogramed!!!




Emma wants to see what Addison got too! Maybe that rattle was more exciting than I...I mean the Easter Bunny thought it would be!
