| So our friends Rich and Heather just headed home, and we realized that we really still needed to download our cards from this weekend... So while Nathan babysits the download, I decided to go ahead and update the blog with todays images! So not only does it take me a month in between posts... but on the day when I finally post, I do it twice!!!!!
We went to the Aquarium... but this time Addison was able to walk through... which made it so much more fun for everyone! We met our friend Heather Smith (http://www.richandheathersmith.com/) there, and she got to enjoy the whirlwind Aquarium tour!
(Most of these images are REALLY dark.... user malfunction :) )
 
 
 
We got a little behind the scenes tour from one of our favorite clients... Michelle! She took us upstairs and showed us what the huge tank that houses the sharks and sea turtle looks like from the top. It was really cool. I was just a little freaked out having the kids up there right next to the open tank with sharks swimming about below, but it was still very cool to have the opportunity!
Thanks Michelle!
After we got to El Meson, where we met Rich for dinner, we realized that somehow Nathan had cut Heather completely out of the picture above! Even though she is HOLDING Austen! So we took a picture of her being sad....
After dinner, we headed back to our house for fun and games... Before Rich and Heather left, we had to take a few self portraits... Cool "spinny" ones...
(left Rich out of this one  )
Then they had to give it a try, to see if they could do the self portrait spin...
ummm.... not so much....
um, nope.
Finally.
We knew we could one-up that... so we spinnykissyselfportraited.
Copycats.
Fun times guys! Lets do it again soon!

| I have pictures at go all the way back forever! So hang on with me as I try to get them all in here for you! I will start with the most current, and work backwards...
We had the pleasure of having Khrista here for a week... She helped out so much with the kids, I don't know what I would've done without her! It was her 16th birthday while she was here, and I took her out and did a few pictures of her :)
 
 
She's an incredible babysitter...
 
 
At the end of Khrista's stay, we took her home... Fun Monday was a long car trip, and a short stop at a place called "Fun Depot"... I totally forgot to take any pictures there though...
The kids got to open up some cool "road trip" presents, that our friend Allison Bynum gave them!
 
We stopped and saw my dad for a bit, and later went out to eat at a Yummy Italian place!
 
Previously, on Fun Monday, we went back to the Aquarium... we had to renew our year passes, and since Khrista was with us, we went ahead and got the membership that lets us take in one friend! So hit us up if you wanna see the Aquarium :)
 
Fun Monday before that :
Went to Gatlinburg with Alison... Were planning on going to Cades Cove, but there was a crazy traffic backup due to a car accident, so we ended up at Ripley's Believe it or Not (which Austen did not enjoy, and has decided that it is *not* a good Fun Monday place)...
 
Then we went back to the fun Wild Woody... This *is* a winner :)
Alison did not want to ride the gocarts... So Austen, Nathan and I enjoyed them, while Al and Addison hung out and watched.
 
 
 
 
Austen LOVES this place!
 
Father's Day:
It belongs in here somewhere, although I have all the dates messed up :) We just have a few pictures from our picnic at the lake... None of the world's great father though :(
Addison loved these cookies
 
Patsy and Evan...
 
The Corleys:
Everyone else was there... but we just didn't take many pictures :(
Weekday Fun:
Grabbed a bite at Macaroni Grill. Really had a blast, and got some fun pictures of our family.
The whole family...
 
Me and my kids :)
 
Austen took this picture of the three of us...
A few more...
 
 
Addison makes ridiculous messes when she eats now...
We had dinner one Tuesday night with our new friends Rich and Heather from church... It was fun! We are excited about getting to know them even better!
Fun Monday :
We went to the Creative Discovery Museum.. the kids just don't get tired of this place!
 
 
 
 
 
Garrett and Joy had come over to hang out... We had a bit of pizza and some chips and salsa :) We are so excited that they are moving back to Chattanooga!
Jeremy Holritz has officially graduated from North Carolina School of the Arts! Congratulations Jere!!!!!
We drove down to sepnd a little bit of time with the family...
 
 
Mom and Dad got some sparklers for the celebration...
 
Graduation day... the wee point and shoot wasn't the best option for these :(
 
 
 
 
After graduation, we grabbed lunch at Olive Garden...
What Austen saw...
What we saw...
 
The waiter who took this picture, completely cut Addison out :(
The ride back home was fun...
We were blessed with an incredible sunset...
 
 
Okay! That's the end! I promise to make a concerted effort to do this more often in the future!
I miss you guys!
