Carving Fun

We have such a silly daddy, when we would cut the pumpkins eye out Roy would scream, hold his eye and run around acting as if he was the pumpkin and it hurt so bad.

Then Nate and Kayla kissing the pumpkins.

They are so cute, they keep me smiling!

Needle in a Hay Stack

Chattanooga 2008 ~ Part II

Bald River Falls

Cherokee National Forest

We managed to make it down to the bottom of this beautiful waterfall, broken leg and all!!!

Then Roy decided to take the LONG but BEAUTIFUL way home. Right through the Cherohala Skyway. The above picture is 5,000 feet in elevation.

Me and Roy at 3,740 feet in elevation. God's Creation...Breathtaking!

Roy and his dad went Whitewater Rafting on the Ocoee.

Chattanooga 2008

We went to the zoo even though Nathaniel still couldn't walk. It was FUN!

This Chimp Loved Kayla! Who wouldn't?!?!?

The goats attacking Nate's Wheelchair. This was SOOO funny!!!!

We also got to visit with Grandpa Vella! We had a great time! The kids just love him to death!!!

A trip to the E.R.

One minute playing on the Mc D's Playground...

The next in the E.R.

Thankfully a friend from church was there at the same time us. She was able to take the other 3 kids home for me so I could bring you to the hospital. Daddy and Pop Pop came to sit with you. Well, Pop Pop was there just to make you laugh, as usual. Turns out it was only BRUISED BADLY. You couldn't walk for like 2 weeks and you hated the crutches, but we survived.

Once again, God was looking out for us!

Prayer Time

This is what was on Nate's mind tonight at prayer time.

Nate) My teacher told me about this little boy who is homeless with no mommy or food and my teacher gave him some crackers from her back pack.

Me) Ahhh that was nice.

Nate) Can we take a trip to go see him, it might be far so we need to take a plane.

Me) Well Nate there are homeless people all around where we live, like in Knoxville....we can go there and give them food....

Nate) Ok, Maybe when we go we can just take one.

Me) Take one what?

Nate) Take one of the little kids home with us, and we add him to the family and take care of him.

Me) Well we'll have to talk to daddy about that, but we will go visit and feed them sometime soon....Let's pray for them tonight, Ok?

Nate) Ok!

Our Pet Turtles

Meet Crush and Squirt

 

One Sunday morning the way to church we found these cute turtles. We let the kids keep them for a few days and then we released them back into the wild. It was a fun experience!
