An Afternoon With Daddy...

Who wouldn't want to spend the afternoon with an Ice cream loving daddy??

1st Stop
Maggie's






They put these cute little umbrella's in the ice cream.


Addie is a fan of the umbrella's.



2nd Stop
Crawfish Springs

Now this place has some history.
It has some real history I'm sure, but I mean "April" history!!
When I was in High School this was the place all the "BAD" kids would meet to fight.
You would hear something like this:
"I'll meet YOU at THE SPRINGS!!!"
"Me & YOU at THE SPRINGS!!!""
"Did you hear what happen at THE SPRINGS???"
I never got invited to "THE SPRINGS" and I am glad!
It sits way down from the road and I guess they thought no one could see them.
I did go down there for science class once and we brought back samples for our microscopes!!
I remember thinking how cool Mr. Young was for letting us walk across the street.
It was 7th grade and we didn't get out much :)






The ice cream is kicking in for Aaron.

You can tell Mom is not there.
I never let them take their shoes off :)

What if they step on a yellow jacket or fire ants??

Do you think Allen told him to do that??



Aaron is coming down from his ice cream high.



Looks like they had a great afternoon.
*************UPDATE****************
Here is the link to the real history behind Crawfish Springs.
Just in case some of you guys are history buffs! :)

My goodness! Allen did a great job documenting the outing! Did ya'll get a new camera or is your editing making the pix so good? Great Job! Maggie's? Where is Maggie's? I wanna go there! The SPRINGS! FUNNY! Your memories are the exact same ones I have! Randy will laugh 'cause my words to describe what I know about Crawfish Springs are the exact words you used! Too FUNNY! I have never been there. Glad to know there are Crawfish there.... : )

Allen did do a great job with the pictures!! It's still your old camera taking them :) Thanks again for sharing. I love it when you buy new stuff :)
I did edit on Picasa but the pictures were great before I started. Did you know Chickamauga use to be called Crawfish Springs??

Addie Is Growing Up...

Danielle and I took Addie to the mall to get her ears pierced. She had already made one trip with Aunt Jenny a few weeks ago, but changed her mind after being told that it might hurt a little. I wanted this to be Addie's decision , so when she asked again today, we went. Before... Getting all the stuff ready to go. the lady marking her ears a little nervous... The store was full of people waiting on the lady to check them out and watching my baby get this done. In the middle of all that, I could hear this sweet little humming. It was Addie humming a song to keep her mind off of what was about to happen. here we go... Not so happy! She said "Momma it did hurt!" After OK, now she's happy! She loves Claire's Aunt Danielle was so proud of her! This was after her bath tonight. She wanted to take some more pictures of her new ears! Aaron had to have his picture taken too! She just looked so big tonight! My little girl is growing up so fast! She told me she liked...

Today in Art Class :) we made sugar cookies and decorated them. I really enjoyed watching Addie and Aaron choose the way they wanted their cookies to look. The paint brush idea worked great! This was a lot of fun!! We will do this again sometime soon.

Our morning...taking it one moment at a time

Addie with her toilet paper wrapped money gifts! Eating Aunt Jenny's coleslaw Aaron dressed Audrey This is a very hard season of life right now, Audrey Nella is a very, whinny two year old( I think she cries every time I talk to her ). Aaron wants to be with Allen all the time and cries when he leaves for work, and Addie is just up and down emotionally lately, BUT...I am so thankful that I have not missed any of these crazy days, or any of these great moments: Addie wrapped up some of her money in toilet paper and tape, and gave it to me for my early birthday gift. She told me that she had been loving all that money she had saved at Grammy's. She said that she knew that money was not bad, but that loving it was a sin! Aaron told me he loves when I listen to him with my eyes! Audrey Nella gives the best hugs and pats your back when you pick her up! I love these gifts form God! This parenting stuff is not for the faint of heart, it is long hard days of consistently pointing th...
