Chris is now taking Taekwondo lessons after school. He is taking it through C.B.B.A. - Christian Black Belt Academy - and he is loving it! I love the fact that to level up, not only does he have to master certain skills, he also must be able to repeat certain bible verses.

This is the board that he broke with his hand during his first lesson.

First Day of School!!!

Today is a big day at our house. Tyler is now a first grader and Chris is going to Pre-K. Both boys were excited and ready to go. Matt was excited...but I don't think he knew what was going on! My house is too quiet now, and Matt misses his "bubbas"!

Tyler - 1st grade

Chris - pre-k

Check out my new backpack!!

Tyler's 6th Birthday Celebration!!!

We celebrated Tyler's birthday while we were on our Jekyll vacation. He decided he wanted to go to Tokyo Joe's Japanese Steakhouse. All the gang was there!! Happy birthday, Ty Ty!!

Jekyll Trip 2009

We borrowed an RV (thanks Uncle Eddie!!) and went camping at the Jekyll Island campground for vacation. Gail, Les and their kids took Mema and Graddaddy's RV and parked next to us. We all had a ball camping out...going to the beach...taking off on bike rides...it was a blast!!

Roughing it in the RV!!

Happy 4th!!

This year for the 4th, we headed out to the Mall of Georgia to catch the fireworks. We found a great place to park - next to a Krispy Kreme!! The boys were so excited and it was hard to keep them pinned in!

Daddy and Matt going for a walk...gotta go check out that big truck over there!!

The only way they would sit was if we let them watch movies on our iPhones!! Isn't technology a wonderful thing!!

Trip To The Mountains

We went to the mountains (near Highlands, NC) for the weekend and had a wonderful time!! The boys couldn't get enough of playing in the little mountain stream that was running behind the cabin. It was a great getaway!!

A beautiful waterfall near the cabin.

Standing in the stream...that was some COLD water!!

Tyler and Chris trying to stay upright. They were not very successful.

Matt thought the creek water was too cold, so he spent the afternoon on Daddy's shoulders!

Day Trip To Jekyll Island

Gail and I loaded up Mama and Daddy's RV with all six kids and took off for a day trip to Jekyll Island. It was quite an adventure! Mama and Daddy were already there for a conference, so they drove over to the beach and had some fun in the sun with us!

My big rock climber, Matt.

Chris

Granddaddy was the Mighty Crab Catcher for the day. Gail and I chased the thing down, but couldn't get the job done...that's what Daddies are for! And it's a good thing - the crab got him on the finger with that big claw!

Two very busy little men!
