The Wheelers

One of our favorite parts about spending time in TN in the summer is getting to see the Wheeler family. Mindy, AJ, Clayton and Bailey have the coolest house, its like a miniature farm. The boys just LOVE going there. They have veggies gardens all over the yard, trucks and tractors, a trampoline, playground and a Great Dane named Wyatt who is as big as a horse. This is what inspired my veggie garden.

AJ even let James take a ride on his bobcat, what a day! I thought for sure Max would want to drive since he is obsessed with trucks, but he was a little unsure. Thanks for the memories guys!

Kids dancing at wedding

The kids had a great time "dancing" at the reception. I use the term "dancing" very loosely.

Alisas Wedding

The reception was at a really cool warehouse downtown, the kids had a chance to see a train go by.
Me, Alisa and Beth. We've been friends since we were babies, probably in the nursery together at church!! Lots of great memories with these girls. It was so great to have a chance to catch up with everyone, it was like a reunion for our United Methodist youth group. It was so fun to see everyone grown up with kids of their own and watching our kids laugh and play together was priceless! What a great wedding!

Nashville

While we were in Nashville we stayed with Patrick, Melody and baby Eva. We had such a great visit, so nice to spend some time with the Duggans.

Summertime in TN

Mindy and I took the kids swimming at the pool where we used to lifeguard when we were in highschool, pretty nostalgic....

Market Street Bridge

Eston and I took the boys to the Market Street Bridge which is a pedestrian bridge crossing the Tennessee River. James and Max rode their bikes across and Eston pushed Will in the stroller. This was a great way to see the whole City and of course the beautiful Tennessee River.
