More Tubing Fun

Thumbs up and ready to go on their first tubing ride. Paige and Riley Jack were great.

Nice and easy......

Everyone enjoying the ride....maybe Michael is going a little too slow.

Picking up speed.

Tubing FUN

Jordan had his first solo ride, then talked Logan into a ride, of course, Logan would go if Jordan went. Here they are getting ready.

Michael of course is pulling them slowly. It looks like they are having fun.

Whoo hoo! Jordan is trying to get the tube outside of the wake....

Thumbs up for the ride.

My sweet first born Jordan

Oh my gosh, I can not believe Jordan will be 14 at the end of this month. Jordan has turned into a great teenager. He loves his brother and sister unconditionally. He is always willing to help, whether it's keeping on eye on MollyClaire, while I shower or getting Riley Jack to brush his teeth. I am so proud of him. Plus, he is the only one of my kids that even resembles me...........

MollyClaire's first time on the boat

Happy Sunday

After getting back from Church, the kiddos were acting silly. Jordan finally arrived. BaBa drove to get him in Athens from Chrissy. Michael and I had our last Bible Study at a friends lake house, so Aunt Tracy and Uncle Timmy stayed home with all of the kiddos. BaBa was there too of course. Tracy and Tim took the kids to the pool.

During their stay here Paige and Logan wanted to go the pool every day. Of course we did. It was fun. Paige,Logan and Riley Jack also enjoyed a week of Vacation Bible School at Kennesaw First Baptist. Boomerang Express was the theme and the kids had a great time. They sent home coupons every night. We've enjoyed ice cream cones from Baskin Robbins and Frosties from Wendy's Yum yum.

Grandma Sandy thought MC ought to have a walker......so now MC has a walker.

Enjoying the Water

Tim and Tracy arrived on Saturday to hang at our house......and to pick up there kiddo's Paige and Logan, who had been hanging at Aunt Stephie's house for the past week. Thanks guys for letting me have my niece and nephew for the week. Anyway, as soon as they arrived around 11am on Saturday, we made plans to get out on the boat. BaBa offered to keep MollyClaire at home and away we went....Pack the coolers for lunch, make sure we had enough towels, sunscreen, life jackets, sunglasses....etc. We had a blast. Paige was a little hesitant to get in the water, she eventually did and had a great time. Logan wasn't scared at all, he jumped right in. Riley Jack soon followed and both boys were jumping off the back of the boat. We spent all afternoon out on the lake. It was a little choppy, but we enjoyed the water.
