Hiking with the kids

I know, where is Jake you ask??? well he was at home exhausted from a night spent at his friends house. Little girls are evidently not the only ones who think trying to stay up all night is a great idea. Anyways, the rest of us, at Daddy's request went to hike up to the top of the mountain on the Berry College campus. While this is not the most difficult hike I have ever been on it was not a cakewalk either. Lucy(that's the dog) was so tired that she would simply not go forward anymore and I(MOM) had to take her back down. But the great news is that John and the kids stuck with it and made it all the way to the top. Martha Berry's House of Dreams is at the top and so they were able to see the house and enjoy the view of Rome from atop the mountain. I hope we can do it again real soon because we all had a great time.

McKaila won a new i Pod touch from J-14(a teen magazine). Corbin Bleu signed the back. We all wish it had been us. That thing is so cool!

Jake and Emily were so excited to go the beach when we arrived that they barely put down their things before changing and heading for the water.

Woopsy- Emily stepped on something in the water just moments after the last shot and sliced her foot open so bad we had to go to the ER! She did not want stiches so the doctor glued it shut.(Scott- if ever confronted with this particular problem... give stiches) the glue did not work so good because she would not stay off of her foot. Ahhhh 6 year olds.

As you can see, her injury did not ruin her trip. Mommy grabbed a bunch of those bags you put a wet umbrella in as we were leaving the hospital and we used them to wrap her foot in. I am very happy she chose to keep a happy face on the whole week!

Jake played baseball this Spring and he had a great time! His team had a winning record. Jake played catcher most of the season and showed great improvment throughout the season! We are proud of you Jake!

Emily(and Jake and McKaila) Went to the Rome Braves baseball game. This is a pic of Mommy and her Peanut Emily. The kids really enjoyed staying for the entire game(There classmates had to go back to the school to catch the busses) and getting balls from the players.
