Honeysuckle Hill Farm

Sunday - after church we headed to Logan's for some great food with even better company.

Thursday - Britton had his very first field trip and I couldn't go since I had to work. Brandon took off and went with Britton!

They had the perfect day.

Brandon was in charge of a boy named Dylan and Britton.

They had an amazing time!




So glad Brandon was able to spend this day and time with Britton!

Lost River Cave

Since Opa and Grandma came to visit we decided to take a little day trip.

What's a trip without Cracker Barrell?


We went to Lost River Cave in Ky.

It was a beautiful day to be outside.


The tour was really fascinating!


Inside the cave was really interesting. The kids loved the boat ride once we were off of it!

We had a great time with Courtney, Jordan, Bronson, Ruby, Opa and Grandma.


After the tour we had some great ice cream snack and then enjoyed dinner at our house. Love spending time with my dad!

Chattanooga Aquarium

We enjoyed some breakfast at the hotel and then headed to downtown Chattanooga for some fun.


We went to see a show at the IMAX about Polar Bears. The funniest part was when it looked like it was snowing and Britton jumped out of his seat to catch a snowflake!


Then we went to the aquarium.


The kids were not impressed with the snake.


Paityn used her phone to take pictures of everything.





They loved the big fish the best.





Daddy even touched a fish for them.














Our little tour guide pointed everything out to us,





What an amazing mini family vacation. We stopped for some lunch and then at Opry Mills for a little shopping. When we finally made it home, Opa and Grandma were in our driveway! The kids we beyond excited. I miss my dad a whole lot and its always good to be able to spend time with him. The best part is our kids love them just as much and look forward to spending as much time with them as they can.

Road Trip

Since we weren't able to take a huge family vacation over fall break, Brandon and I decided to take the kids to Chattanooga for a night! The kids were beyond excited to go for a little trip. They got their bags packed and then we left as soon as Brandon was able to get off work!


We decided to stay at the Chattanooga Choo Choo which the kids thought was pretty cool. Honestly they probably would've been excited wherever we stayed!





We decided to eat at one of our favorite Florida restaurants, Bonefish Grill. I say Florida because that is the first place we ate at it. We make sure to go there each time. It was wonderful!


Josh Fann was playing soccer so we headed out to watch him for a little while.


Then we ended the day with some wonderful ice cream.


It was a perfect ending to a great day!


One thing I learned from Mexico is the importance of being in the moment at all times but especially when on vacation. We weren't distracted by our phones or Internet in Mexico and it was an incredible time filled with memories. I remember a family reunion in Canada where we didn't have service and how relaxing it was. I say this as a reminder to myself. Vacations are about getting away and spending time as a family. So this mini family vacation was about being in the moment with our little family and cherishing every moment.

Playing His Heart Out

Sunday - Paityn is such a little diva. She makes us laugh all the time and always has something to say.


These two kids get along so well. I love them so much!


Saturday - it was freezing this morning!


Despite the cold, the kids played great again.


It's been so much fun to watch Britton improve.


He really loves to play and we love to watch!











We had a great day of cleaning, playing and then headed out for a dinner at Fuji with just our family. After dinner we went shopping where both kids convinced Brandon to buy them new shoes and then of course we had to stop for ice cream at Sweet CeCe!


Sunday - Britton slept with his shoes and Paityn out hers on first thing. They were so excited to show them off!


After church we headed to Sweet CeCe to meet up with the band we worked with in Canada. They are some incredible people with a heart for Christ. The are called White Ribbon Day, check them out on Facebook! I'll never forget the first time we met. We had volunteered at a festival in Paris with On the Go. I was working the booth selling stuff for the Katinas and they were right beside me. Continually they gave away CDs and other merchandise so people who didn't have enough money to buy more than one cd or to those who looked in need. They also asked for everyone's names and wanted to know about them. It spoke volumes to me. Then we were blessed to work with them in Canada. An incredible group of people using the talents God has given them to bless others and share the gospel of Christ. We had a great time catching up!
