It's so sweet when they hold fingers! lol

In the parking lot of Mingo Falls. Poppi carried Brooke up the 159 stairs since my back was killinh me! Thanks Poppi!

Mingo Falls

Dylan was so excited he walked across the creek by himself.


Kalyn in front of the falls.


Brooke in the freezing cold water for the first time. She kept lifting her feet up out of the water!

Brooke and Poppi on the bridge.

Shelby and Kalyn under the bridge.

Kelly and myself holding the girls. Looks like Ashley is trying to pull Brooke's arm off!

Poppi's carving...B&A 09 for Brooke and Ashley's first visit to Mingo Falls.

Tom did a carving with Jeff's name since he was absent. Not quite sure what E8 means!


This was Poppi's carving from last year...the year we were married.




More torture..lol


A penny Poppi hid a few years ago on the bridge somewhere.



Ashley sitting in the freezing cold water. She's braver than me!! She loved it!!




Brooke took this picture..lol

I wish I could wear a bikini like that!!

I know who took this picture!!! The girl talking to me said Brooke was a chubby baby then told me "She was a chubby baby" too! Who would have thought!!!







This nap was short lived. She was soooo hot!

Apparently the kids decided to play a game to see who could carry the most floats. Hailey went first and carried them all the way back!!

More great, great pics! I seriously am considering just posting your blog url on my blog and having everyone look at your NC pics. It'll probably save me a day's worth of blogging! LOL! Love all the pics and the videos. And I meant to tell you. I was going through the pics last week and love those ones of you and Brooke at the creek in Cherokee. Did Pops take those? He must have...they are great! So cute. And I laughed too when I saw that pic of "the chubby girl". Pops must have taken that pic too...lol :) And I ditto what your friend said....our baby girls are cute together. I can't wait to see them interact over the years. Maybe next time we meet up they'll both be walking?? Miss you girls!

For those of you who don't know what E8 means, I was informed by Jeff last night! Apparently I missed the spouses Air Force code class where I would have learned it is the code for Jeff's airplane!! All I know is the J-star or Joint Star and I've heard Gay Star also!!
