Aubry Dancing
Lolo (Grandpa) bought Aubry this beautiful princess dress while he was here. She loves it so much, it's a battle to get her to take it off. Here she is showing off her dancing skills. She is ready for the ball.

Trip to the Natural Bridge in Virginia
Since daddy is visiting we decided to take a trip up to the Natural Bridge which is about an hour away from our house. It was great fun, we all enjoyed ourselves immensely, the kids especially.
This is the Natural Bridge which is made by nature, not man. It is huge, most pictures do not do it justice.
The river is full of these tiny fish and the kids were fascinated with them. They love to explore.
Love spending the day outside.
Alex has his mind set on dinosaurs, can't you tell?
This is a Native American Village that was originally on this very sight all those years ago. Although it would have been three times the size it is in the video. It was very educational.
Inside the "AIT" hut.
Touring around the village.
Salt Peter Cave
The Lost River, hidden in the mountain.
Taking a rest by the river.
Lace Waterfalls, so pretty and the end of our hike.
Talking about the water, what lives in the water and all that good stuff.
Exploring, always fun.
Very cheesy Dinosaur Kingdom. We were a little disappointed.
Alex rides a dinosaur.
Alex and Aubry ride another dinosaur.
Natural Bridge Caverns. The deepest on the East Coast.
Although not as pretty as the Luray Caverns.

More Happy Days
As you can see, Alex and Aubry are still having a great time in Georgia. Their Aunt Cherry came to visit and they were very excited to have her there.
Gabriel and I are going down to pick them up this weekend and are so excited. We've enjoyed our little vacation but at the same time we missed our babies so much and look forward to getting lots of hugs and kisses when we get there.

Visit with Aunt Katrina
Alex and Aubry had such a great time with their Aunt Katrina. She has a way with children, that is for sure.
Day Three in Georgia - Courtesy of Aunt Cathy
Another great day!!
I still can't believe how well they play together. They honestly don't seem to need toys. Whatever they have, they use their imaginations to make it fun!! I interviewed an aide today that couldn't believe Aubry was only 2.5!!
Day Two in Georgia - Courtesy of Aunt Cathy
Ok, I'm mature enough to admit when I've been defeated.
We went to Wal-Mart tonight and bought a VYNLE table cloth!!
Fun day!!
Sorry Kelly and Gabe but we had another 10pm bedtime : )
Day One in Georgia - Courtesy of Aunt Cathy
It is 10 pm on Monday, day one. WOW, these kids are so cute. They have used they're good manors and have behaved very well. They are so want to please!! I can't believe how well they play together, and I love their creative imagination. I swear they say the darnest things, even making Adam laugh. I was well entertained all day!! We spent the day settling in, they ate a good lunch, had a 2 hour quite time, colored, played dress up, and much to Adam's delight invaded his room before dinner. We ate dinner, then made our way to the park, meeting Donna and Brianna. They played hard on the playground then Brianna and Donna had to leave so Uncle Donny, Adam, Alex, Aubry and I walked the trail. I'm afraid we're having a hard time keeping they're bed time because we didn't leave the park until 9m, then a good scrubbing in the tub. Unlike last night, snoring began 5 mins after their heads hit the pillow!! Can' t wait to see what they do tomorrow : )

Happenings in Virginia
Hello Everyone,
The summer is in full swing here, lots of sunshine and heat. Gabriel and I are still working on the fence and it is coming along great. Once the fence is done I can start on my vegetable garden and hopefully installing some rain barrels in the backyard. Oh and of course, a swing set for the kids.
The kids and I spent the weekend with my sister, Katrina, in North Carolina and had a great time, they love their Aunt Bina. On Sunday, my Aunt Cathy from Georgia came and picked up Alex and Aubry from N.C. and took them back with her, so Gabriel and I have two weeks with no kids. Today was my first day with out them and I am actually kind of enjoying it and they sound like they are having a great time too. We will be going back to pick them up the weekend of the 4Th of July, which is also the weekend my cousin is getting married, also in GA, so it will be a fun weekend.
We are both still working on our Summer Semester, so that is taking up a lot of time but it's well worth it.
Along with taking the next couple weeks to get a little more organized, we are also in the process of trying to become as chemical free as possible around the house. Making our own cleaners and detergents, I am finding that I really do enjoy doing it too. We are really trying to set some healthy habits from eating natural and getting more exercise. We want to be around to enjoy our Great Grandchildren, so we figured the sooner we start, the more likely that will be!
Hope everyone is having a great summer!!
