These are a few of our favorite things.....

Our Favorite Roller Coaster

This is the Hulk Roller Coaster and we all loved riding it. Liam was the only one that was too short to ride it. Jeff took the 4 older kids on it first and then insisted that I go on too. The lines were too long to ride together but if you go and stand in the single rider line, you can get through in about 10 mins. I took Ravyn and Chance with me and they said they wouldn't mind riding alone. We ended up getting in the same "car" but in different rows. Anyway, they told me it was really fast but I wasn't prepared for it. You know how when a roller coaster first starts out, you slowly creep up the incline and then when you get to the top, that's when you really take off? I was expecting this ride to do the same thing but when we got a little over halfway up the incline, we take off at lightning speed. It was the most terrifying ride I have ever been on. I screamed the entire ride. The people that sat by me were eyeing me when the ride was done. I never once opened my eyes which made walking afterwards pretty interesting!! Ravyn and Chance had to let me lean on them because I couldn't seem to keep my balance. When did I turn old? They also have pics of you on the ride that you can purchase and mine was hilarious! My mouth wide open in a scream, my hair huge because it is, and my eyes closed shut. If I wasn't so cheap I would have bought it but $30 for a picture? Really!?

Spending Time with Daddy

Here's some pics of the kids with their Daddy. He's left on an assignment overseas and we miss him terribly! I told him he has to stop being so fun to be with and it would be a lot easier!

Our Favorite Visit with Friends

We got to see our friends, the Simons, this summer. We have known them for about 10+ years from our old Army days. They have 7 kids and we have 5. We used to go to Savannah to hang out together and go walking around and it was like a big parade. We always got lots of attention--not always good attention. One time a lady scolded me for not having mittens and a hat on my kids because it was a chilly 55 degrees! Silly lady!! They haved moved again and we miss them but we are positive that we'll see them again. Besides, Liam and Sophia are going to get married some day!

Our Favorite Family Vacation

This is a picture of all of Jeff's side of the family when we went for a visit to Sturgeon Bay, WI. We have color coordinating shirts for different families. The gentleman in the green shirt that looks a lot like Jeff is his twin brother Jason. I'm kind of in an awkward position because I was the one that had to press the timer button thingy and then run to get in position. I almost tripped on those darn rocks a couple of times!
