Adventures at the Nature Center

On Saturday morning, we took a little trip

to the local Nature Center. Because we all had

museum passes, it was FREE. Nothing like doing something

fun that is completely free.

Ruby and Anna had fun playing with one another

when they were not insistent on being carried.

The boys exploring an old log cabin.

Uncle Ben would love this.

Savannah is upset because she has learned there

are no Assistant principal positions at the VA

for Tony. She was even more upset when Daddy told her we could

not move to KY at this time.

Anna getting a lift from Larry. I am surprised

Ruby did not get jealous.

Xander having a little fun being livestock.

Boys will be boys. They all loved the tractor.

These llamas stunk and were not friendly, but Ruby still

wanted to pet one.

Ruby was obsessed with any photo opportunity.

She loves seeing herself on the camera.

Larry clowning around.

One of the Dietrich boys having some fun.

The wolves were a huge attraction at this nature center.

They were absolutely beautiful.

Look at this caged animal. Isn't she cute?

Here is Ethan enjoying the Turtle pond.

All the kids enjoyed the cut outs for some more

posing fun.

Some sliding fun.

The dynamic duo were whispering at this tank.

When I peeked to see what had their interest,

it was a cute little turtle.

Ruby was enthralled at what was in this tank.

I go to see what it is, and it is an icky snake!

So not my child.

We survived the nature center and did not lose any

kids.

Apple Festival

OK, I was too excited to wait on this new post. We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon. We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going. It was fun. People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples. Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music. We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream. While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine. Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures. Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner. Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt. He had the number 7 and at the top it said Baby Maker. This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

What on Earth!? How can you not stop and smile?

This morning I woke up and felt really good and energized. I was just ready to start the day. I had a little fun on the wii fit at 5:30Am before waking the kids. A Valentine's gift from a dear husband. I love video games and well, you might as well exercise while playing. Afterwards, I started with my chores. Just trying to tackle one room at a time. The first room I cleaned was the children's living room. Why did I choose this room? I knew Ethan & Ruby would play and watch TV, but I had no idea they would do this!? Here is a darling Ruby Isabella exhausted and asleep after her mayhem and destruction. Yes, that is toilet paper all over the floor. An entire roll they managed to toss all over the living room. They also got a hold of the baby bath and made some bubbles in the boys bedroom, and got a hold of the lotion and squirted it all over the footboard on my bed. Where am I during all this? Feeling really good because I had washed, dried, and folded 4 loads of la...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house. I was making dinner for the missionaries. No my dinner was not scary! I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards. I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce. Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do. Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me. To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying. Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up. He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth. He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early. I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears. But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby. Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her. Her lower lip had completely swollen up. This was our first experience with a...
