Cowboy Up

We went to South Carolina this weekend to visit Chris' family. Ethan spent the entire weekend at a Rodeo with his Grandfather. Ethan helped papa judge the rodeo. He got to sleep in the horse trailer with his cousins Dylan and Dallas. Tyler got to go shopping with Grandma for choo choo's.

Chris and I went to the University of South Carolina football game on Saturday night with his brother, Keith. We had a great time tailgating. We got to watch the Ohio State football game out of the back of a pick up truck. Go Bucks!!

The Little Rebels

We went to Chickamauga, Georgia over the weekend to see a Civil war battle site. There were tanks and the boys loved to see the men fire them. They were very loud. We went downtown and got to see some camp sites. There were soldiers from the North and the South. Our neighbor let Ethan borrow this civil war outfit. Chris told our neighbor that it is the wrong color. (Even though we moved to Tennessee, we still are northerners.)

Aunt Jessie

Now that we live in Cleveland, Tennessee, we are closer to Amber's sister. Aunt Jessica lives in Nashville. We have driven over to Nashville a few times and she has come over to Chattanooga to visit us. When she came to Chattanooga we took her to the Aquarium downtown. She was only here for a day, so it was a short visit. We love you Aunt Jessie!!

S'more Camping Fun


We went to Lake Cumberland for Labor Day to camp with Amber's family. We met Grandma and Grandpa Douglass there with Uncle Aaron and his children. Ethan loved riding bikes with Ireland and Riley. Cousin Aiden and Tyler were often mistaken for twins. The kids were really good. We sat around the camp fire at night and told scary stories and made s'mores. Riley tells the best stories!








It was too cold to swim, so we went to a train station nearby. We rode an open air train through the mountains of Kentucky and visited an old coal mining town. Tyler spent the entire time talking about the "Choo Choo's in 'Tucky." We had so much fun!
