Sweet Rylie girl and Nathan!


Everyone's loaded up! (And time to get Andrew a headband, hah!)

A view of our cabin on our way down.

Soooo adorable!!


Sisters: the best friends in the world :)

Hadda slowly ease into the water...it was freeeeeezing!

Haha! This is what Kurt does if he catches you snapping his picture....

The River Monster is baaaaaackkkk!!

Cutie couple!

Sooooooo scarryyy!!! This horrible creature was on a rock right in the middle of where we were!! The guys were trying to kill it, but it ended up slithering away into the river! Thankfully it floated downstream, but my eyes were peeled the rest of the time!!!

Watch yo back. She looks innocent, buuuut.....

The girls loooved picking up rocks from the creek bed, and they got to choose their favorite to bring home with them! This was Sadie's "iPad" that she picked :)


Those purty blue eyes.

Watch out! Stud coming through.

Andrew looks like such a little man here!

So everyone started throwing rocks to splash one another, so I just kept screaming, "I have a CAMERA!!!" It was the perfect solution :). And I was splash-free...until my camera battery died...wonk, wonk, wonkkkkk. Here's Wade telling me to put the camera down so he can splash me! Ruuude! :) And is Lissie plotting back there?? Surely not...

SHE WAS!!!! You never think it's gonna be the sweet blonde girl...

Jen must've gotten Kurt. Hence...THE finger point.

Awww, friendsies once more...

Innocent Lissie again...

Ohhh, but not friends for long!

Fight! Jenny, fight! (you too, Carson!)

Jen threw a rock at him...buuut it landed about a foot in front of her. Hahaa! I'm sure she got another Finger Point.

So after that, Kurt decided everyone needed a good splashing. Poor Rylie girl haha!


Jenny got dunked!

But she's still a fighter! But Kurt is a bigger and better fighter haha! Love this shot...totally captures our family and the absolute blast we have together!!

Jenny is a warrior. A defeated warrior, but a warrior nonetheless hahaa!

Lissie's turn!! Time to get baptized!!! Haha loove that face!

I thought I would be spared from being baptized since I had the camera and all, buut of course my battery died right after this shot, and I got immersed as well. But hey, a family that dunks together, stays together!
Ohhhh, we had such a wonderful time together in Tennessee, and you could just see the Lord's blessings over and over again! Mom and Dad, thank you soooooo so much for providing the cabin for us all to spend the week together! Our family is proof of your love for the Lord and how you made him the cornerstone of our home. You always quote the verse, "I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth" and I can only pray that we raise our children as you raised us...I mean, we turned out pretty great, right?? haha Love you mom and dad!! Hurry up and move to Pineville!!
P.S. Here were all the grandkids in front of your new house! Just a little glimpse of the future :)

HEATHER! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BLOG!!! You all were having so much fun!!! Yes, having Jesus as the center of our family is what it is all about. We love Him! Thank you, Heather, for such a wonderful word! Love, MOM
