Emily, Addie, Xavier, Micah, and Grammie Nell driving race cars at the McWane center.


Micah's way of showing Addie he liked her. She was not impressed.




A really good picture of all 3 of them, a 5yr old, a 1 yr old, and a 2 yr old, on the first try. :)


Our good friends Emily and her son Micah were in Birmingham, AL visiting family for a few weeks and so we decided to drive over and spend Memorial Day weekend in AL. (me and the kids that is, Daddy had to work. :(
Here are a few pics of the time we spent with Emily and Micah. I will post the other pictures from the Space and Rocket Center tomorrow.
We had a really nice time, although traveling with the 2 of them is not easy.

Braves Game

My school's PTO organized an outing to the Braves on Saturday night. We got 2 free tickets and then my friend gave me her 2 tickets, so it was a nice outing for the family. Although John forgot and he had to close the store and couldn't come. We had a good time anyway.

Chattanooga Zoo

A couple weeks ago, while John was out of town, we headed up to Chattanooga for an afternoon. We are members of the NC zoo and therefore get in free to a bunch of other zoos. Xavier loves zoos and so we try and go to as many as we can. Addison has been to the Birmingham Zoo when she was 5 months old, but she was too little to get into being there. In April we sent to the NC zoo and she LOVED it. They even had a petting zoo and Addison was delighted to be able to touch goats, donkeys, and miniature horses. So, we are officially zoo junkies in our house. This trip makes this Xavier's 8th zoo and Addie's 3rd.
It was a small zoo, but very clean and nice. We had a nice afternoon and then stopped at Applebees on the way home.(gotta love gift cards!)
