July & August 2011

AUGUST 2011

Michael and his Kindergarten teacher. 

He adores her. I think it's mutual...she 

told me Michael is every teacher's dream. 

What a compliment! Great way to start school.

Matthew and his 4th grade teacher. She's his favorite so far.

On our way - first day of school.

Just look at that smile. He is ready!

It was a great day!!!

A visit to the Knoxville Zoo

Tallulah..the albino alligator.

Butterscotch...the giant Boa Constrictor.

I cannot believe they wanted to brush some goats.

Michael wanted to try milking.

Luckily for the cow, it wasn't real.

 The boys sporting their new "football" haircuts.

 

I was not a fan of the new "do". 

But they were happy!

JULY 2011

My mom, my sis and I with our families.

 

 The whole group.

Fun on the houseboat of a friend.

 Matthew and Michael with their buddies, Foster and Gavin

Matthew showing off his pipes.
Pretty impressive, I must say, for a bean pole!

Mark and Matthew jumping off together.

Another Camping Trip at Adventure Bound in Gatlinburg, TN

We drove around the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail.
Beautiful scenery and lots of places to stop and take
short hikes historic places to see even more historic places.

Back at the campground is a 500 ft. water slide.
That is Mark in the back - closing in fast on the boys.
(And yes...I did this too!) What fun!!! 

June 2011

Another camping trip at KOA in Townsend. 

Matthew & his buddy, Foster participating in the activities.

Our site was right on the Little Pigeon River. 

Such a great sound to fall asleep to.

 Hiking to a waterfall. Two miles round trip (well worth it).

 The boys trying to catch something.

 Mr. Muscles

 He did it! It was freezing!!!

Michael playing for his Red's team.

 Michael getting his end of the season baseball trophy.

 Matthew trying to be funny and sag. I had to get a picture...
it was just too funny when he came strolling by me to see
if I would notice...   "PULL YOUR PANTS UP BOY!"

 

CINCINNATI, OH

REDS vs. YANKEES

The boys are fans of both teams.

 Standing by the ESPN press box. 

 A-Rod!

 Fun night!

CINCINNATI ZOO

 Met up with some friends from Knoxville that
also went to the game.  Made it even more fun!

Michael - always the tough guy!

 The manatees were cool.

 My favorite was the Cheetahs.

 The white lions were pretty cool too.

My first tomato of the year! I had two plants out back.

My dad would have been so proud!
