Celebrate America @ Rock Ranch

The weekend before July 4th we went to The Rock Ranch! It's a fun little amusement park type place that Chic-Fil-A's runs. Just good ole' family fun out in the middle of Nowhere, GA! 

Wade was out of town that weekend, so my Dad and I took the kiddos.  So much fun was had by all...even us adults enjoyed it! :)

We went paddle boating...

Played in Sprinklers to cool down...

Listened to some folk music while we ate dinner...

Sorry I'm not home right now I'm waling in a spider web...  No Doubt, anyone?

Climbed rocks...

Visited the petting zoo...

Played in the cow inflatable...

Had lot's of fun in Tiny Town...

Threw fits bc we had to wait in lines...

Drove tractor tricycles...

Went down tunnel slides...

And jumped out hearts out...

At the end of the night they had a fantastic fireworks show...

The girls had fun with their neon lights...

Nora's Spring Soccer

Nora had such a great season of soccer. This is the first year we put her in it and we were not sure if she would stick with it. To say she LOVED it is an understatement!!  She can't wait to do it in the Fall!!

I finally brought my professional camera (rather than my trusty iphone) to the LAST game of the season.  So I took some fun shots of her.  She's done so good...she seems to be really good at defense, although she tried out goalie during this last game and she seemed to like it too! :)

She's number 54, enjoy the pics! :)

School Year 2013-2014

Well, since it's the middle of the Summer it seems like the prefect time to post first day and last day pics of the 2013-2014 school year!!  I has nothing to do with forgetting at all!

The pics are a little fuzzy from the first day of school (especially Nora's) b/c my camera was in the cold air conditioned house and then I stepped into the hot humid GA air.  In total "Nicole" style I was rushing and didn't have time for camera to adjust, haha!

I've seem much more of a dramatic difference in previous years, but you can tell they've grown!!

SAD!!!

I have to share a funny story about these little girls!!  Today, I overheard them playing barbies.  It went a little like this...

Nora, " Oh no!  Please don't steal our hightlights, they are so important to us!!"
Audrey, "Yeah, or I'll kick you in the face"

I couldn't help but laugh and laugh.  it's clear that these two girls have such different personalities.  One is clearly has a creative side and the other, well, she's kindof a bully!  haha!
