The Month of August!

What a busy month August was! We started the month with a trip to Knoblesville to my dad's condo with some friends of ours from Michigan. It was a blast we went into little Nashville Indiana and you would not believe the wineries. Some one told us that it takes over 3 days to make it through them all. Who would of thaught, I just always knew it as the boring flat lands.

Here's Cheryl in the Kitchen.




Here's her crasy hubby Greg. And this was before drinking :)




Here's Gabe trying to seduce me again! HAHA NOT!

Four days later we hit the road again for Gabe's first trip to Chattanooga TN. I spent many of my birthdays her with my Aunt and her family so it was nice to be back after 8 years. We decided to drive so that Gabe could experience the hills, vallies and mountains and the joyous ear popping.

My Cousin Jennifer got married on Look out mountain which was beautiful. Sam and Grace were in the wedding and I spent most of my night chasing Grace because she thaught that is how you dance.

We went to the Chattanooga Aquariam which is absolutely amazing. If you ever go to TN check it out. It is two buildings one with sea and lake and the other is Ocean.

We also spent one day with the kids at the childrens museum which was a blast. After the museum we went to eat at a burger joint which is where I was beyond embarrased but hey if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen to me. I bet your wondering what happened well let me tell you. My Uncle Chris, my brother Mike, and sister in law Alia were up ahead. They had Sam. Gabe was tagging along and I was walking with Grace. We were walking across 4 lanes of traffic when the light started to change so I told Grace we better run since a bus was coming at us. In front of us was the side walk and beyond that were two older ladies getting in their car as my shorts fell down to my ankles. I had to choose between my nieces hand or my dignity and I chose my niece. I dont know what all the people on the public bus saw but I do know the two old ladies were pointing and laughing. Which is why I will never forget it.

Here's Gabe and Sam making funny faces.

Uncle Chris and Grace in the tunnels.

This was really cool Grace is standing in the middle of a giant bubble maker.

If you look closely the sea turtle is missing his back legs

They had the most beautiful butterfly exhibit.

It's A Nemo fish what can I say.

This was and is my absolute favorite picture of the kids.

Yes I am still a daddies girl.

Mike and Sam just hanging out.

I hate pictures, can you tell?

Here's my sister in law Alia who had just told us the great news that my new niece or nephew is on the way. ( so this was two months ago and we now know my nephew is coming in March. YEAH!)

Here's my Aunt Patty and her son Chris
