Mary Beth's 30th Birthday Trip!

We were headed down to FL to go to the beach for my 30th birthday but plans had to change last minute so we went to my parents mountain house instead! We had a great time and the boys had an absolute blast!!!

The first chicken we made for dinner in my new chicken baker I got for my birthday!!! We LOVE it and it makes a very healthy meal! It Came from the Old Mill Pottery in Pigeon Forge, TN!

One our way home we stopped in Cleveland, TN to see some friends and we stopped by the Village Bake Shop to get some of my favorite cookies (which I forgot to take a picture of). They are little thumbprint cookies with icing in the middle! You can see them at http://www.thevillagebakeshop.com/

Calder, Caroline and Caden!

Watching Caden on the grader...he wasn't so sure out it!






Caden and Mr. Jonathan! He loves it when Mr. Jonathan let's him help drive all the trucks!





Caden thought it was so fun to go potty outside while we were in the mountains! Calder thought he would try to go, too! He always wants to be like his big brother!

I couldn't resist taking a picture! We DO NOT allow this at home...just in the mountains where nobody sees him!


PRECIOUS!











They love each other SO much!
Love that cute little smile! He is the smiliest, happiest child I've ever been around!


Love this picture of the boys! SO precious to me!


Mommy and the boys before we left to head home!

Love it!
Daddy and the boys! We love our family :)


Caden made a stage out of EVERYTHING he could find int he loft! He was singing and dancing and said he was, "Praising to Jesus" as he jumped around the bed! Hope he always loves praising Jesus!

Cass ended up with a migraine the last night so the boys and I went out to get medicine and just stay out of the house for a little while. We made a trip by Krispy Kreme on our way home! They were being silly putting them over their eyes!

Pizza from a loacl place up there. It was YUMMY!
Riding the train at the amusement park!








Having a blast on the swings! This place is SHADY but the boys love it so we usually go ONCE a trip while we're up there!


We tried the ferris wheel and Caden was all about it but NOT Calder so we took both of them out and did the swings instead!


Getting off the go-carts! He had SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun! That's all he has been talking about! He can't wait to go back and do it again...and there are mini ones you have to be 4 to ride on!

Daddy and Caden on the go-karts!


Calder was watching!
Daddy waving to Mommy and Calder!








About to take off! Caden looks a little nervous but he did GREAT!!!


The waterfall by the Old Mill! SO pretty!


Daddy and Calder checking out the waterfall!

Having fun in the park with the boys by the Old Mill!








Mommy had fun watching them run around!




Swinging in the park! We got a little lost finding it in Gatlinburg but we picked up donuts on our way and played and had breakfast!




Silly Mommy and Daddy!




Swinging on the big boy swing!













Eating donuts from The Donut Friar!
Yummy! Not near as good as Charlie's Donut Truck at the beach but still yummy!




Having fun in Mimi's swing on the porch!

Mommy and Caden being silly!

Love this...and he actually looks like me...not Cass...but the eyes and hair make everyone think he looks like Cass! We just disagree!



Swinging with my boys!

Watching us get Calder's bed ready!

Silly boy!

All snuggled up with Mommy. We saw a bobcat on the way home and both boys were TERRIFIED. It was kind of funny but they were really freaking out! I loved all the snuggle time :)



Love kisses from my boys!

I know we all look lovely but it's great to have snuggling memories :)







This is one of my FAVORITE pictures of the boys!

We went to ride bikes by the river and the boys thought it was great! We found a swinging bridge you can walk over but they wouldn't do it. We love finding new things to do while we're out of town!







Mommy and the boys before our bike ride!









Calder NEVER wears jeans but it was so cold, we didn't have an option! He looks really cute, though!

Love that smile!











SO sweet walking together :) Calder wants to be just like Caden!







Relaxing in the swing one morning before we did anything!



Riding Daddy's bike!









Mommy, Daddy and Caden being silly!



Think it's time for new pajamas when you get holes in the toes! These are our favorites!

Homeade cheesecake for our birthday cake at the cabin!













Dinner at Bullfish...our favorite restaurant up there! They give you a HUGE piece of cake on your birthday! I think we've been there to celebrate all of our birthdays!







On the porch on Mommy's birthday! Happy 30th birthday to Mommy!!!

LOVE my boys!

I always have to wear green because my b'day is on St. Patrick's Day (and it stinks to get pinched all day). SO, I always have fun green outfits for birthdays!

Caden took this of the two of us! Pretty good for a 3 year old!













Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast our first morning there! We took the dough in the car and made them when we got there that night!
