10 Feet of Trouble

I finally got a hold of Larry Denzil's iphone so I could download Ethan's first day on the big yellow bus. Here is Xander finally riding a bike. He learned about 2 weeks ago. He just finally decided he was going to learn and so he did. August has been a month of milestones for the Roberts' family. Ethan started school, Xander can ride a 2 wheeler, and Ruby uses her potty. Wooo Hooo!

This week we got to visit the carpet of flowers at the Biltmore. Every time I visit this place, it takes my breath away. A small view of the carpet with the mountains in the back ground. I love being surrounded by all these beautiful mountains. In Black Mountain, we have the 7 sisters range. Larry thinks it is ironic to still be surrounded by 7 sisters. I wish I had a ticket for the roof top. I can only imagine what the flowers looked like from a higher level. My family. Beautiful Savvy. My little thinking man. A precious moment. Some fountain fun.

This boy is adventurous. Sisters Here is Ruby swimming. I told them you couldn't swim in this water because it was just ankle deep. Here is Ruby proving me wrong. Here is Annie carefully walking the cold stream. My Savannah enjoying some time alone. Brothers enjoying the cold stream on a beautiful breezy summer afternoon. Ruby being adventurous. The kids are building a dam to form a natural wading pool. They actually did a pretty good job, that other children were enjoying. Xander and his crawdad. If there are critters around, he can find them. He desperately wanted to bring this big ugly home. He kept it in his shoe while we were here. Ethan and his best buddy Soren. These two are dangerous when together. They had climbed up the hillside to the main road. Little Benjamin enjoying the beautiful...
