cailyn talking

Today we took a trip down to Richmond, VA. they have an awesome children's museum there. Then after the museum we went to the Gospel Chicken House. They have Bluegrass Gospel music every Saturday. You just bring a lawn chair and enjoy the music. the kids enjoyed listening to the music sitting in their TN chair. I think Andrew thought he was in TN or something because he kept getting the TN flag out of the van and waving it....GO UT :)


cool shades cailyn :)

daddy trying to get madison to go thru the tunnel...she finally went thru after much coaxing

andrew favorite thing to do is to play with water so this was one of his favorite places

even daddy was enjoying playing in the water :)

nathanael going grocery shopping and then the kids taking turns checking out. This store was so neat. looked so much like a grocery store.


this room was a restaurant and the kids were making the food. Here andrew is trying to carry us the desert we had ordered :)

the kids presenting a puppet show

this was so cool. it is an apple tree and apples would come out of these holes and the kids would collect them and put them in their baskets. Then they would go to the other side and dump them in the "shoot" and it would suck the apples up the shoot and then distribute them in the different holes. the kids loved this.

Cailyn was up the entire day today....she so did not want to miss out on anything :)

children's museum of Richmond

the boys loved the big trucks and the sand

madison trying to stop the water(there were spots in the ground that the water would squirt up and the kids would try to step on it and stop it from coming up)

nathanael badge

last night in RU class nathanael earned his name badge. That means that he finished his first booklet and then has said 6 verses in the second book. He was so excited....he was showing everyone last night his badge :) madison will get hers next week. she should have received it last night but she went to the nursery with andrew instead of her class. anyway, she will get one next friday night. i am so proud of my children and their desire to learn Bible verses!

fried chicken

last night we had fried chicken with veggies and salad. yes I know mom fried chicken is not the healthiest but hey I fried it in olive oil does that help a little :)
well at least someone was smiling for the picture
Sarah and her children were over yesterday to hang out so they stayed for dinner. Here the kids are helping wash down their table from dinner.

I dont' think cailyn was liking her picture being taken :)
madison is soo girlie.....she loves putting her lip gloss on and playing dress up. and she has started bringing her "baby" to the table too when it's time to eat

National Harbor

beautiful evening at the National Harbor last night. They had moved the statue of the "Great Awakening" to here. The kids loved playing on it. I think it is sorta a scary statue because it is supposed to represent a giant who is coming out of the ground(really a dumb statue in my opinion) anyway, I don't think the kids knew what they were climbing on except for the hands.

Nathanael is the one in the yellow shirt climbing on the face

National Harbor

we went to eat at a seafood place down at the National Harbor and the kids did so well. even cailyn...she even held her bottle for the first time by herself ;)

National Harbor

we went on the elevator to the top floor...forgot to see how many floors but it was high...anyway, when we got to the top this is what you could see....going back down took my stomach but the kids loved it
this little shop was called the pajama party store

beautiful trees and flowers....someone did a great job on the landscaping!
