Smoky Mountains!

We stayed in an amazing cabin in Pigeon Forge.

What a great family trip! The roads were very steep - these pics don't give nearly the same feel ... that feeling that the front of the van might just lift right off the ground and do backflips all the way down the mountain??? yeah, that feeling.

Nana & Papa with 3 grandkids! Sooo FUN!!!!

"What do you think, Levi?"

"I don't know, Austin. Those jets make me a little nervous. I've heard that if you just pinch your butt cheeks together like me, you'll be fine."

Happy Anna

so this pic was obviously not taken at night!

Big Boy, Levi drinking from a real glass!

Anna loving on her Aunt Kyndra!

Joel & Paula's hike up to Alum Cave Bluff... a little bit "smoky" to say the least.

Nothing better than a mountain view, and being surrounded by 3 hot (naked?) boys in a "hot bath tub" (as Levi called it)!!!!

"I think this is how you do it, Austin."

"Gross! She's your sister, Levi!"

"Yeah? Well she's YOUR cousin!"

About 6 months old...

It's fun to compare our very different kiddos - here are pictures of both of them at about 6 months old - Anna is a little bit younger than Levi was when this picture was taken of him. They are our treasures!
