Stone Mountain Trip 2

We all had a blast on the paddle boats! It was a workout though, especially when you are partnered up with Henry who can't reach the pedals! Walker and Henry ended up switching paddle boats so Walker was with me which was much easier. Have to add in that Walker and I beat Eric and Henry back to the little dock! In this house of boys everything is a race!

A little ropes course that they have! Walker loved the zip line!

We rode the tram up to the top of the mountain and the boys convinced us of walking down. All I can say is thank god we didn't try to walk up the mountain. I never thought we were going to get to the bottom of the mountain! Eric and Henry took a couple of breaks along the way. It was beautiful up there!

Walker has been wanting to do this sky hike ever since it opened. We promised him he could do it. At all hours of the day it was an hour and a half long wait. We decided to do it at the end of our day before the laser show. Walker ended up doing all 3 levels which I never thought he would do. He was absolutely fearless. He did an awesome job! Eric did it with him to and he said that it was pretty high up there. You wouldn't be able to get me on it for sure! It was a wonderful day at the Park! We can't wait to go back. We payed for all of our fun that night, waking up with Walker screaming with growing pains. I guess his little legs were busy with the paddle boats, hiking down the mountain, sky hike, and not to mention walking all over the park. From now on we will not waste our time going to the laser show. Henry was terribly scared of the fireworks and Walker fell asleep during it. I just hope Henry gets used to it considering we are going to Disney in Sept. Stone Mountain is a great and neat little park. We are looking forward to camping there in the fall.

( I post this blog for myself really so I like to mention all the details. This is like my boys baby books, scrap books, photo albums, mom's diary, etc) I want to remember all of these things and I want my boys to remember!

We love this place!

A couple of weeks ago the boys and I went to my parents for a few days! We really have a ball their. The boys love to ride the golf cart down the road to feed the horses, cows, and goats. The people who live here with all of the animals are so nice. They always invite us down to play and feed the boys snacks and popsicles. Their house is a little boys heaven with all the animals, tire swing, tree house, trampoline and much more. Walker loves to drive the golfcart which he can do all by himself! The boys didn't want to leave when we had to come back home. It was so sweet, they both said, "I wish we could live at Pop and Gran Jan's". To me their is nothing like going back home and enjoying all of the beautiful scenery and animals that is at mom and dad's. It is such a peaceful place to be! The one thing that we didn't get to do this trip was go on the boat because we had horrible storms the whole time we were their. Also one other thing that I love about this place is the little peach sheds everywhere, and produce stands on every corner. Mom and I and the boys took a ride up to Landrum and stopped by an old peach shed where they make homemade ice cream. The best blueberry ice cream I have ever put in my mouth. The neatest part about our little ice cream stop was that it came a thunderstorm while we were there as we were eating outside in the peach shed with the huge doors open. We sat in rocking chairs and watched the rain and ate ice cream. Does it really get any better than that? You would think a little town like Braselton would have things like this but so far I haven't found it. If it's here let me know so that we can enjoy it here in our hometown. I know with out a doubt I am a small town girl at heart!

Little Water Park Visit

I took the boys and one of our neighbors Trenton to a little water park close to our house. It was a really neat place and the kids had a blast! It is a place that we plan on visiting more often this summer! It's just the right size for the kids and for me to be able to take them by myself! I totally reccommend this place to anyone who lives close! It's really cheap too, 4 dollars a child 3 and up and 4 dollars an adult. Great park!

Happy Birthday Daddy!

On June 6th we celebrated Eric's birthday! The boys and I made him a cake while he was out golfing with his dad who came in town. The boys wanted to make him a power ranger cake, because they said that daddy loves the power rangers! Ha Ha. We spent the rest of the day at the pool and then we headed over to the mall for another outside movie, Hotel for Dogs. We did exactly what Eric wanted to do for his birthday, which was spend family time together!! A wonderful day!

Outside Movie Night

Eric and Kevin (our neighbor) took the kids to see an outside movie at Mall of Georgia. The kids had a blast! Summer is so much fun!!!

7 year Wedding Anniversary!

Eric and I celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary on May 25. He surprised me with a night getaway to Chateau Elan Spa Resort. We had a wonderful time! Honey~ thanks for 7 wonderful wonderful years! I love US and can't wait to celebrate many, many more! I love you!!!!

Final game of the season

This was the last game of the season. We lost this game so this was it for us. It was such a wonderful team and wonderful group of parents! We really enjoyed it and are really going to miss baseball until the fall.

Most exciting baseball game of the season!

Henry has to wear a baseball jersey pretty much to every game. We let him wear Walker's jersey's from past seasons. They are pretty big on him but he loves to be like his big brother!

During the tournament, we beat a undefeated team that hasn't lost a game in 2 years! It was super exciting!!! I really just love being a boys mom, I have many many more years of this to enjoy! We are just getting started

At the end of each game the coach gives stars for the kids to put on their hats. Of course Henry is dying to get one. The coaches were great by letting him be part of the team. At every game Henry had to dress the part and take his bat, glove, and ball! He gets to play in the fall and he can't wait!!

Walker getting his star

What can I say? I have 2 boys

Preschool Graduation

Can 't believe my baby is done with preschool. It really has flown by! It seems like yesterday he was just going to mother's morning out. It is bittersweet! I know in a blink of an eye he is going to be graduating from high school....I just wish sometimes the clock would stand still. However every stage is very exciting! We are so proud of him!

Welcome to Henry's Barber Shop....

I about had a heart attack when I walked around the corner and saw this. It took me a minute to realize that they were play scissors whew!! The whole set up was really cute, Walker was sitting on his drumset stool. They are double trouble!

No Training Wheels!

Walker can now officially ride his bike without training wheels. We took them off and it took him a few times with Eric behind and then he was off. All he wants to do now is ride his bike! We are looking forward to the beach this year with Walker and JL being able to both ride their bikes now. Eric even has him riding with him while he runs. He has been doing 2 miles lately and does it all! He sure is tired when he is done though.

Best Friends

This is the picture that we finally got to give to my mom for her birthday. All of the boys did great this day! We bribed them with chocolate chip cookies if they did good and well they did. She loved the picture and it turned out awesome once put on canvas!
