Jared Practicing Football

Here are a couple of videos of Jared at football practice last night. He was very excited to get to line up at running back and pound the rock!

Ella's First Big Walk

This is it, she had taken no more than one or two short steps prior to this..... Be sure to watch to the end!

Day Trip to Amicalola Falls

We took a quick drive up to Amicalola Falls State Park this past Sunday and did about four miles of hiking and site seeing. We took the whole crew, dog included. Below are some pictures and a quick video... Enjoy!

Wills Park

We had a wonderful Saturday at the park last weekend. Ella loved swinging at the park and the twins had a great time playing catch with dad. What a great Saturday!

Enjoy the pics!!

Brady has some serious chops!

Brady made us all very proud a few weeks back when he played in his first live Orchestra performance. All of the kids played so well, at times I forgot we were watching fourth graders and not the Philharmonic! Yo-Yo Ma would be proud. This particular song, Mary Had a Little Lamb, was one of many excellent performances including: Caribbean Island, Hot Cross Buns and a little known but catchy piece, Old McDonald Had a Farm.

Derby Day

Ready, Set... Go!!!

The boys participated today in their 3rd Derby Day for Cub Scouts. First off let me just say that their cars were very original and distinctive. They had just a little bit of help from mom and dad;)

We started racing cars about 9:30 this morning. We had a wonderful day and when it was time for trophies Jared won the trophy for MOST CREATIVE and Brady for MOST UNUSUAL.. It was a fantastic Derby Day.
