Allie's First Day at Hernando Elementary

Allie started 1st grade. I can't believe it! At her new school there are 11 first grade classes each with 20-25 students in each class. WOW what a change!!!

Vacation in Gatlinburg

Us on the Ski Lift that goes up the mountain in Gatlinburg!

We went to Gatlinburg July 26-31 and had a blast. We spent the first couple of days by ourselves then all of James' family joined us for the rest of the trip.

Allie and Deven had fun at the go-cart track.

Joe loved the train ride up the mountain at Dollywood but he fell asleep both times coming down the mountain!!! Too CUTE!

The Incredible Pizza Co

We met the gang from First Baptist Church at the Incredible Pizza Co in Memphis this past week. Allie finally got to see Mary Claire for the first time since school got out so she was more than a little thrilled! We had so much fun. That place has so many different things for the kids to do. Go Carts, Bumber Cars, Bowling, Miniture Golf, and tons of games. Great place for the kids!

JOE'S 2ND BIRTHDAY

I can't believe it, Joe turned 2. He is growing up so fast! We had his party at Wade Inc. in Cleveland. Joe is all about a John Deere tractor, so this was absolutely perfect. The kids all had a blast!

At the Zoo!!!

Andi, Allie, Joe, Austin, & Hallee

We went to the Memphis Zoo yesterday with the gang from First Baptist Church Cleveland. We had so much fun! It was great seeing everyone again. I know we have not been gone that long, but we have been missing our friends. Joe fell asleep in the car on the way home even before I put it in reverse sitting in the parking lot.

We are finally moved in!

Here are a few pictures of the kids after we moved in. We went shopping at the children's place and both of the kids got new sunglasses.

Allie's Moving Party

Mrs. Libba Mullins had all the little girls from Allie's class out to her house for a moving party for Allie. They gave her the cutest book as a going away gift and each girl had signed the inside cover. It is so sad to me that she is going to have to make all new friends. I know each girl there will always hold a special place in Allie's and my heart.
