New Bike? or is it?

and...After...

Before....

Recently Matt decided to paint his motorcycle. The guys did an awesome job!!!!

New Pics, Grandpa's birthday and Easter

Preston checking out the neat eggs he found. Elijah didn't join us this

year he decided to take a nap.

Taylor found eggs this year, Zach thought he was too old.

Now for the real fun...Easter Egg Hunt!!! Preston joined in, although he wasn't to fond of the grass.

Getting grandpa's cake ready.

This was Elijah and Preston's first Easter.

Taylor sitting on Seth watching grandpa open his presents.

We celebrated Grandpa's birthday on Easter. Here is Zach watching Grandpa open his Wii.

Silverlake

We just recently joined a swim club, it's Silverlake. This place is so cool, and the kids just LOVE it!! I haven't been able to take pictures yet, but I will. Especially this summer when the waterpark opens up. You'll know where to find us. The kids get to swim, and I get to work out. Finally, I get mom time, and loving it!!

I will add my own pictures shortly....Sorry couldn't download pics from website.

to be continued....

I know these are old, but they are the only pictures I have right now. These are pics of our new additions to our growing family. Preston born April 2007, who is already going to be a year old next month and Elijah born November 2007. Sorry Patty I know you are going to kill me over the picture.

I guess after seeing these, it's time to take new pics. The boys are growing up so quickly.

Old but New....

Taylor in disguise

The kids are always getting ahold of the camera and goofing off with it. Need I say more??

I am finally posting, I know that it has been awhile, but I haven't downloaded all of our new pics from the camera....anyway, here is a picture I found of Zach. He thought this pic was cool.

Here are some of the cabins the people lived in.

When we were leaving this deer was right next to the car only a few feet away. We saw a total of 8 deer during that trip. Taylor kept count for us.

Blacksmith

This was an old barn. The kids are standing next to a type of wagon.

The real working Mill. We walked in and they were grinding corn for cornmeal.

Here is Aunt Becky's house. She was one of the women who settled in this area.

Cades Cove Missionary Baptist Church

We went over to Cades Cove. The deer in the picture was only a few feet from the car. As long as no one bothered the deer they would stay right next to the road.

We left the mountains to walk downtown Gatlinburg, we parked the car and had to walk a street over, the street we were walking on took us in front of the Haunted Mansion. This "scary"clown was walking out to scare some girls and Zach had to have his picture taken with him.

We were looking down on the road we drove up.

We went up to Clingman's Dome and this is the view from one of the lookout points.

Here is Taylor climbing on the rocks. Climbing rocks and swimming are all the kids wanted to do all weekend long.

The kids stopped climbing long enough for me to get a picture.

Once we made it to Gatlinburg we headed to the mountains. Beau was climbing the rocks with the kids. He was just happy to be out of the car!
