Last Week

Here are pictures from last week. We were so glad to have Nana and Poppy come to Knoxville last weekend. Nana was a great help with things around the house. As I get bigger, I have tended to let things go around here. Nana is always such great help! We are going to miss Nana and Poppy this month. We will not see them again until the last weekend in September because they are going to Hawaii! We hope you all have a great trip.

Our zoo crew! Fran organized a zoo playdate last week! Thanks Fran!

Anna loves playing at the mall!

WOW! We had 30 in Bible Fellowship last Sunday! Joe and I are so blessed to be leaders in this class. God has given us long-lasting friendships through this class and CHBC!

Anna enjoyed the chocolate pudding at Mr. Gattis.

Anna was so excited the entire time we were in the game room!

Watching a game with Nana.

Bowling with Poppy!

Playing basketball with Daddy and Poppy.

Leaving Mr. Gattis with Daddy.

We played with Jack and Jake yesterday! We had popsicles and chalk, so I took Anna's shirt off. I know Nana is about to die right now as she is looking at this post.

Anna and Daddy sweeping after Daddy mowed last night. Anna loves helping Daddy!

Corbin came over to play this morning. I love watching them play together!

29 week picture. I will be inducing 9 weeks from today unless Ella decides to come early. We cannot wait to meet her!

Fun with Daddy

We have been having lots of fun with Daddy lately. Saturday, Daddy took us to the zoo and then last night he took us to the golf course. Anna loves her Daddy so much and I love seeing them together. I love Daddy too! Here are pictures from our adventures with Daddy.

Daddy took us to Aubreys' Friday night. Anna loves to color with Daddy.

Riding on the carousel.

Anna loves the goats!

My little owl!

Anna likes to walk at the zoo now.

We finally got to see the otters Saturday. I think Anna liked the water more.

Saturday night we went to a tailgate party at church. Anna and I got cold, so we waited in the van for Daddy.

Walking to the green...trying to catch Daddy.


Anna loved driving the cart with Daddy!

Anna went with Daddy to putt at every hole. She liked carrying the ball and Daddy's putter. Mommy stayed in the cart most of the time.

Date with Daddy

Joe has been wanting to do something with Anna alone for months now. I don't know why I have waited so long to let him. Last night I went to Fran's Pampered Chef party while Anna and Daddy went on a date. They went to the mall, ate Chick-fil-a ice-cream, played in the play area, and played glow-in-the-dark putt-putt. Of course, Joe would not take the camera with him, so I only have this picture of before they left. He sent me some pictures on my phone of Anna playing putt-putt. He said they both had a great time! They even won a free game, so Anna walks around holding the card saying "I won that"! Needless to say, Daddy and Anna will have lots more dates in the near future. I think I take for granted all the time I get with Anna, but forget that Joe doesn't get much alone time with her.

Thanks Aunt Janet...

for Anna's new dress! She loves it and Mommy does too!

Wearing her new dress to church.

Anna loves to rock.

Trip to "Tucky"

Anna cannot quite say Kentucky, so she says "tucky" instead. We went to visit Nana and Poppy this week. I decided this was probably our last trip there until after Ella comes. Anna and I had a great time, but really missed Daddy. We came back yesterday and took Daddy to lunch. Here are pictures from our trip.

Mommy and Anna

Anna liked riding on the shark. Doesn't she look so little on him?

Hanging out with Poppy after a fun time in the pool!

Loving her cousin Dane!

No we are not potty training yet, just talking about the potty. We decide to get Anna a potty seat to get used to before we really start the process. She likes sitting on it!

Aunt Janet bought Ella a beautiful gown and blanket. Anna liked playing with them for her baby. Thanks Aunt Janet!

Aunt Janet took Anna for a wagon ride and to check the mail.

Catch Up from last week

I have had several people get on to me for not updating lately. So here are pictures from all our adventures last week. Sorry this post is so long.

Anna likes sitting in Daddy's lap so she can drive!

Anna is starting to get brave. She wanted to follow Ellie Lou in the tunnel, but never made it as far as Ellie.

Our family...

Anna and I went to the Vineyards Saturday night while Joe and Justin had something at church. We decided to give all four kids a bath at the same time. It was a little stressful.
