Spring has Sprung!!!

I am so glad it is finally Spring!!! We went to Cades Cove to celebrate...

There was deer EVERYwhere!!!


Luke had a blast!!


I had fun with the camera, taking cool shots like this one!
(I think I'll blow that one up and frame it!!)


I loved this horse - and he was totally posing for the camera!


How gorgeous is that?!?!





I love this pic!!!



Luke liked the horses!




And we must have completely wore him out - he was asleep the minute we turned the car on!!

The Circus Came to Town...

Luke was really excited about going to see the circus. When I asked him what he thought he would see at the circus, he said "a bicycle" and his friend, Alexander. (Apparently he heard they were going too).






These 2 guys polished off that whole bucket of popcorn!!!


The elephants...


The tigers...


The finale ....


It was a really long show -2 hours total, and a 1-hour pre-show. We got there at 5:45, the show started at 7pm, and didn't end til 9pm. For the most part, Luke was really good. He got restless towards the end. When there was about 15 minutes left, he said "Mommy, I'm ready to go home." I have to admit, I was too!! It was no Wiggles show, but it was still fun. (Now I can say I've been to the circus - not something I need to go back to again, whereas, I could go see the Wiggles every weekend)!!! :)

My apologies!!

I realize I have been a major slacker when it comes to the Blog!! I promise to do better. Unfortunately we really haven't taken many pictures lately. Luke still doesn't like for me to get the camera out - I don't know why.

But thankfully the weather is getting warmer and we'll get outside more! I am itching to go to the Zoo and to Cades Cove and the park... we've been cooped up inside for too long.


Here he is all stretched out on the couch .... (notice how Woof and Woody have pillows too).



They're watching football!!



And here is a picture from the first snow of the season ... Feb 27th. He was so excited to see the snow in the morning. It started accumulating on the driveway. He wanted to play in it, but we were on our way out the door! Well, when I went to pick him up at school, the snow was all gone. But all the way home, he kept saying "There's snow at my house." I tried to tell him that it melted. When we got home, he pitched the biggest screaming fit when he realized there was no snow at his house. I think he thought Greg and I had done something with it. He was so mad!!
