C'Jay's game...

C'Jay's team won 18-14, it was a good game. I helped keep Mari Kynadee entertained so her Mother could get some good photo shots. Great job C'Jay!

Busy Saturday......

I started off the morning with Art class. Followed by Julien's soccer game @ 1:30, C'Jays baseball game @ 3:15, & Brianna's baseball game @ 5, which didn't start until 5:50. After that we picked up dinner & headed home. Julien's team lost 0-1. Good game!

This broke my heart....

"I do not want to go to have surgery. Please do not let me go" Gabi is clearly very anxious about her surgery next week. She's read the book they gave her numerous times & we've tried to explain to her what will take place. It's normal to be scared, I'll be glad when it's behind her. My heart goes out to her. :-(

Gabi/Play-Doh-Kayla

Here are some pics of Gabi's shirt she bought in Gatlinburg, how cute! I missed Kayla in hers. Also, a pic of Gabi's Play-Doh!

My favorite story of Play-Doh when Kayla was younger....she flattened some out like pancake; then took it to my Dad who was already in bed and ask him if he wanted a pancake, he actually took a bite of it thinking it was.

JOSH

Mom kept Josh last night, she said he finally went to bed around two a.m. I brought them breakfast from The Pancake House; then John picked Gabi & Josh up and were headed to the Zoo, but Mother Nature changed their plans. Instead they went to see the Hannah Montana movie and out to eat. After that they went back to Carrie & John's to jump on the trampoline then Gabi got her nails done. Aunt Carrie is such a girly, girl.

Gabi

I took Gabi to the ENT this afternoon. She has to have her T & A's taken out on the 30th. She was nervous about the appointment & I am to blame. They gave her a book which she has read several times. They assured her she can have all the ice cream & popsicles her little heart desires.

My heart goes out to Addie & Jenn. I pray that Gabi's recovery is an easy one. She'll be out of school for about a week and the part she's most excited about....being out of P.E. for two weeks.

Ripley's Old McDonald's Farm Mini-Golf

Tuesday afternoon just before heading home Kayla & I rode the Jurassic Boat Ride :-( . Then Cecilia & the girls played miniature golf. They are such CHEATERS! It was a lot of fun just watching them. Kayla had to fish her ball out of the water AGAIN (last time we were on vacation she played miniature golf & had to fish her ball out of the water).

We had a good time in the mountains; short but sweet.

Clingman's Dome & Morton Overlook

Had I known how the drive was to Clingman's Dome we would have passed on that. Especially considering the wet roads and the STEEP 0.5 mile hike up there, plus it started raining. While at the top you're suppose to be able to see 100 miles in each direction; North, South, East, & West, as you can tell we did good to see our hand in front of our faces.

Morton's Overlook did give us a good shot of The Great Smoky Mountains though.

Although she stayed in the van; needless to say Cecilia was grateful to be back on level ground. What a wuss!

Tuesday morning....

I had planned on hiking several trails, unfortunately the weather and distance put a damper on that. Me & the girls did go on the Chimney Tops Trail; slippery rocks, mud, & all.

Monday afternoon/evening....

While in Gatlinburg Kayla & I rode the chair lift; the girls had t-shirts airbrushed, we bought fudge, etc...the things you do while you're in Gatlinburg. :-)

Monday evening we went to the Dixie Stampede, fun fun. Dinner is served without utensils which was different. Very entertaining.

Afterwards the girls hit the indoor pool.
