Camden's first *little* trim!

Little Ms. Chubbalicious was starting to get a full on mullet! YIKES!  We decided that it was time for her to have her first little trim on Friday, January 25th.  She was such a good girl while Joe cut her hair! 

 She wasn't real sure what was going on!

 She love playing with her hairbrush and comb!

 Bye, bye mullet!

Our trimmed up cutie pie!

Chattanooga Aquarium!

 We are so thankful to the Chattanooga Aquarium for offering a free teacher weekend!  Since the snow had melted, we decided to pack up and head to Chattanooga on Saturday, January 19th for a free trip to the Aquarium!  We took a tour of the River Journey first, took a break for lunch, and then explored the Ocean Journey.  We hadn't ever been to the Ocean Journey before.  The River Journey is by far the best of the two!  We like Ripley's in the Smokies Aqaurium so much better than the Ocean Journey in Chattanooga.  The kids did GREAT exploring the River Journey!  Camden was exhausted by the time we toured the Ocean Journey so Courtney and Camden quickly walked through and went onto the gift shop to wander around.    

 Look at these big fish!

 Camden LOVED watching the fish swim around in their tanks! 

 Carter enjoyed watching the otters swim all around!

 Camden was so excited to see "al-gator"!

 Carter liked the alligator too!

Snow Day... Day 2!

 What better way to spend a snow day than in the snow!  We had lots of snow to play in the morning of Friday, January 18th.  We dressed in our snow gear for Day 2 of fun!  We all went sledding down the big hill in our backyard.  Carter and Joe had a blast while Camden and Courtney tried it a few times and that was enough.  Several of our neighbor came over to play too!  We had such a great morning in the snow before the sun started melting it.  Thank you God for these wonderful times together as a family!   

 Sand shovels work great in the snow too!

 Carter was so brave going down the big hills all by himself!

 WIPEOUT!

 Camden tried sledding one time and was fine just watching everyone after that!

 Carter decided to use the smaller sled to go down the big hill!

 He woud scream the whole way down with excitement!

 Daddy and Carter tried sledding together!

 Mommy tried going down the hill once and that was plenty!

 Carter loved using his big sand shovel for the snow too!

 Snowball fight!!!

 Watch out!!

 Camden joined in the fun!

 Whee!

A happy snow day family!

Snow Days = Happy Family!

On Thursday, January 17th, school was dismissed early due to snow!  YIPPEE!  With Joe being in administration, he had to stay at school until every student was home.  We wanted to wait on him before we went outside to play.  After dinner, we quickly put on snow clothes and headed outside!  Carter was as snug as a bug in a rug in his snowsuit from Grandaddy and Nanny!  Cater and Joe stayed outside for hours sledding, building a snowman, and rollig all around in the snow!  Camden didn't like feeling like a big marshmallow but she still managed to have fun for a little while!  Courtney ended up taking her inside after about 30 minutes.  We were excited to have school canceled the next day too!  With all the snow falling, we knew we would get to have another fun day together in the snow!
