Visit at Yellow River Game Ranch











This little guy just made me laugh because he was so ugly!


I am so behind on my post. A few weeks ago Kim and I wanted to take the little boys to Stone Mountain before their school started for the year. We packed lunches and drove all the way to Stone Mountain and wouldn't you believe it.....they were closed. We still had to take the boys somewhere because they were so excited. We both remembered a place that we had been before. It is Yellow River Game Ranch. It wasn't too far from Stone Mountain so we ventured off to there for the day. The boys loved loved it. I have never seen such a place as this before and I have never seen so many animals just wandering around. The animals were deer, squirrels, fox, coyotes, bears, birds, owls,buffalo, cows, sheep's, donkeys, horses, pigs, raccoons, possums, and more that I just can't think of. If you live near the area I highly recommend you going, only if you don't mind getting dirty and slobbered on by the animals. It is great!


Preschool Room- Before and After


Our church is in the process of decorating the different classrooms. I was asked if I would help do this classroom which is the one that Eric and I teach in on Sunday mornings. With the help of my precious husband we worked together and got it done! We added a fence, leafs on tree, butterflies, birdnest, caterpillar, and dragonflies! It turned out pretty cute from where it was before. We plan on adding a few other things as we go.

Henry's time has finally come......







Henry gets to play baseball this season! His team is the Braves! He is super excited and loves to play! He watched his brother play last season and couldn't wait to get out there and play. His time has finally come! It is really cute to watch this age. We are looking forward to a great season.

Waiting on special visitors

Walker, JL, and Henry anxiously awaiting on the arrival of their Pop and GranJan a couple of weekends ago!

Virginia Trip To Visit Family!




The boys had a ball helping their Great Aunt Jennie in the garden, and feeding the cows and horses!




Yes that is me on a four wheeler! It was a ton of fun. It took me a little to get used to but man I could have rode through the pastures all day!

Henry with his great grandfather, "Pappy".


Don't know who enjoyed all the outside toys more the boys or me? If you know me though, I do love to swing from a tree!


The boys loved climbing up in the tree house!
Have you ever seen a double rainbow?
This rainbow was breathtaking! The first time I have ever seen a double rainbow! Gorgeous!

4 Generations: The Pangle Reunion
Walker, Henry, Eric, Brad (Eric's dad), Uncle Jim (Brad's uncle). This is the boys great great uncle! Thought that it was pretty neat
We had such a wonderful trip to Virginia this year visiting with all of Eric's family! We went to celebrate his granddad's 75th birthday, Pangle reunion, and to say bye to his cousin Lindsey and her family who were leaving to go be missionaries in Jamaica for 2 years. This weekend couldn't have been any better. It is great to see family that you don't get to see to often. That is why I posted so many pictures because it doesn't happen often. The kids loved playing with Levi, Isaac, and Moriah. It is such a boys heaven there in Waynesboro Virginia.

On our way to Charlottesville to visit with Chris, Elizabeth and little Tommy!

Henry wanting to get on the stage and "rock n roll". This is the first place that Eric saw DMB play when he was here in college. That must have been awesome! It so happened to be the move in weekend for freshmen. Needless to say Henry got a few cheers from the students around. I think he might be a rock star!

Eric, Chris and Vu.
On our way back home from Virginia we went to Charlottesville to visit with Chris, Elizabeth, and little Tommy. We had a great time visiting and little Tommy is something else! It was our first time meeting him. Vu owns a restaurant in downtown Charlottesville, so we went to see him. They were freshman roommates, so 16 years ago that weekend they first met. Pretty neat that they have kept in touch all these years. Such a fun visit!
