More Sick Days

Well a week has past since my sick days, and now Matt and Jeremiah have the stomach bug. So it is a yucky day around our house. Everyone is napping right now. I hope you all are having a good week. Still no camera so no new pics.

Sick Days- Catching Up

I am catching up a bit. I have been down a couple day with a stomach bug so I figured I should catch up for the last few weeks. Aside from the little day trips I blogged about we have been super busy with Garden and canning. Last Wednesday I picked 5 gallons of beans and the Mom and Dad had an extra 5 gallons they did not have time to put up so I brought them home with me. So Thursday I broke, strung and canned 21 quarts of green beans. Then we found tomatoes at a good price so we got a bushel and Monday I canned 9 quarts of spaghetti sauce and 22 pints of salsa. Got sick early Tuesday morning. I praise God for a wonderful husband who was able to come home from work Tuesday afternoon and help with the kids and stayed home today so I could get better and get my strength back. What a blessing !! This day is coming to an end and I am feeling some better, stomach still rolling but not sick so I am thankful ! Matt and the boys are out cutting Okra from the Garden cant wait for enough for a fresh batch of fried okra . I love it. And by the end of this week all of our tomatoes should be ready and I am guessing I will have more ready then the bushel we purchased. We will have more beans ready in a few days. With all that has been going on something very important slipped my mind. My baby will be 1 in 3 weeks !! It just seems unreal I guess that is why it slipped up on me. I can't believe it . It just seems like she was born yesterday and by no means that a whole year has already passed. So now this week I will get busy planning a birthday party for my baby. Which make me depressed !! Thanks to everyone for reading. I hope you are haivng a good week ! Our camera has been broke since the day at the splash pad,Thanks to Paw and Maw for loaning there camera when we went to Cades cove. But until we find a new one we are with out so I wont be posting too much.

Cade's Cove

Matt took last Friday off and we rode up to Cades cove and spent the day. We started with a picnic and and a few pics, then we drove the loop. We saw a bear and a few deer along the way. Then we went back to the river and played. The water was freezing but it did not stop the boys from having a blast. We found a few rocks to slide on. You can see by their faces and body they were so cold but they would not get out. We had a great day !

Splash Pad and Sunsphere

A couple of weeks we spent the day in Knoxville because Charity and Will had to make a quick trip to Knoxville so we spent the day playing with Will. I took the kids downtown to go up in the Sunsphere and to play in the splash pad. We met our friend Jenni and her 4 boys there. This is a great place to take the kids to play. We had a good time.
