Father's Day 2013

Happy Father's Day!  Today, we celebrated in style.  Reagan had the whole day planned for us.  We awoke extra early and went to Greg's favorite breakfast restaurant, Cracker Barrel, before church.  After church, we had a cook-out at Gigi and Bubba's (complete with ice cream) and then a boat ride.  Reagan wanted to go to a "fancy restaurant" for dinner, but we ran out of time and ran out of room in our bellies!!

 How handsome is he?
 the kids wanted to get their picture made together so they could print it and put it in a frame for Greg.  Still need to do that!
 At Gigi & Bubba's, Cooper wasted no time getting on his 4-wheeler

gorgeous girl
 Reagan had an "incident" on the boat ~ she scraped her knee, had a little blood and kept screaming, "I don't want to die! I'm losing too much blood!"  It was so loud and went on for so long, we had to turn around and go back to the house so she could calm down.
 a little over dramatic to say the least ~ as you can tell, Cooper thought it was hilarious!
 oh, the pain!
 Can you say DRAMA QUEEN?

 won't be long before he's at the helm for real
 Greg had a very relaxing Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to my dad!  Sorry I wasn't there to celebrate with you, but I was thinking about you!

4 Wheels

After Dollywood, we stopped by the Bass Pro Shop.  The kids found what they want for Christmas!
a new 4 wheeler!
 she looks like a natural!

Hooray for Dollywood!

For Christmas, the kids received season passes to Dollywood.  Today was the first time we were able to use them.  We left early in the morning, had breakfast on the road and entered an amusement park for the very first time!!

Reunited

Cooper had left Mickey at Gigi and Bubba's house over the weekend, so they brought him back at lunch today.  Cooper was so excited, he asked that I take their picture together!
Cooper and Mickey
He has had this Mickey since he was a baby.  Reagan bought this for him at her first Disney show when Cooper was just a baby!

New Desk

Reagan has been wanting a desk in her room since we moved.  Greg and I finally found her one at a consignment shop this morning.  We put it in her room and surprised her when she got home from spending the night with Gigi & Bubba.

 She was so excited!!  She kept telling us thank you over and over again!

Girl Scout Camp Closing Ceremonies

Girl Scout camp concluded today with a program of skits, songs, dances and a hot dog lunch.  Greg was able to take off from work for a couple of hours to attend the program, and Gigi came to support Reagan too!  I wish I could have been there, but I couldn't take off work on my 5th day!  Greg was gracious enough to take pictures and videos for me!

Spa and Ice

Reagan and I treated ourselves to a spa day ~ her first, my first in a LONG time!  We enjoyed pedicures and Reagan also got a manicure.  After picking up Greg & Cooper, we ran a few errands and then had a family movie night.
