We started the special day with a quick breakfast with Nana and the cousins and a quicker trip to Walmart.

The little birds were excited to purchase hoola hoops to usher in the fun of the first day of summer!

Tickle, tickle birthday girl!

After our birthday dinner we visited the opening day of “The Island” to see the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. Standing 200 feet, this is one of the tallest attractions east of the Mississippi…for sure the tallest ride our eyes have ever seen!

Destination at the arcade trying to pick up a giraffe or a pink bear by the claw…no luck!

One of our favorites, rolling the ball forcefully up the ramp to the the targets. Isabela has not figured out how to roll the ball rather than throw. We chased many of these heavy balls.

Ice Cream for the first day of a new season.

Instead of cake Isabela had a huge cone from the Marble Slab Creamery!

Father’s Day 2013

20130701-071427.jpg
Something these three all have in common, their daddy is their favorite person on the earth!

My long legged boy who first gave my “one and only love” his special title of “daddy”

20130701-072219.jpg
My middle sweetheart that truly thinks her daddy is a prince each moment of every day!

20130701-072807.jpg
My last born baby that absolutely has her daddy’s heart in her hand and his finger wrapped around hers!

Blessing daddy on this special day.

We celebrated Nana’s Birthday in early June

We all met for a lunch date in Pigeon Forge. We also celebrated Amy and Stephanie’s Birthdays as well.

We were happy to eat pizza and help celebrate the people we love!

For Jackson’s end of Kindergarten year celebration, he chose to eat and play at Chuck E Cheese. I have to make a note that this was the first time Jackson agreed to stand beside of this big mouse and have his picture taken!

20130628-071453.jpg
We are proud of his accomplishments this year! On most days he proved to be an eager student working hard to learn and complete everything I expected and demanded from him. I am most happy that he not only became a really good reader, he developed a true love for books…a skill that will entertain as well as educate him a for a lifetime.

After our mini celebration, we were blessed with another special rainbow. One of Jackson’s favorite things to see on the side of the interstate are these big construction trucks! The rainbow arching over them was amazing. It lasted forever on our drive as we were leaving Knoxville.

A double rainbow that we literally drove under. WOW!

Finally to Jackson, even though you may feel our constant push to excellence, we are hoping you discover the feel of your own successes, so you may reach for any path that leads you to happiness.
