Day 190


190/365

This was Will's first building experience at Lowe's. He and John built a tow truck. How appropriate! Now maybe Mater can get a break once in a while.

Day 189


189/365

Thanks to an incorrect weather forecast (again), our trip to Holiday World was foiled. Instead we dressed like cows for free Chick Fil A and went to the Living Arts and Science Museum and Spaghetti Factory in Louisville. It was a first trip for all of us, and pretty interesting. Mimi and Pawpaw were especially good sports since this wasn't their usual cup of tea. Here they are riding a city bus. Look out...John was driving!

Day 188


188/365

Will is a HUGE fan of Miss Patty Cake's Easter Eggstravaganza. When I found out she was at the Christian Ministry Expo, I had to get a pic for him. Say, "Cheese!"

Day 187


187/365

One of the greatest things about living in a semi-large city are all the free events. The NASCAR trucks were coming through Lexington and stopped at Walmart for fans to check out. We had to take Will. Everything is a race to him, even going up and down the steps. It's not pretty when someone beats him.

It was also an unusual way to celebrate...my new job!

Day 186


186/365

Finally Fishing

Will got his fishing pole last year, but the time slipped away without the opportunity to fish. This is Will's first fishing trip with Daddy. He was so excited! He had his new Lightning McQueen gear ready to go.

Day 185


185/365

My Patriotic Baby...and my patriotic blue toes. Happy 235th Birthday America!

Day 184


184/365

We were excited to find out about Ashland Avenue's fireworks. Sure beats the crowd downtown! Much more family friendly too.

Day 183


183/365

A little pre-4th fun at the park. Am I blessed with gorgeous kids or what???

Day 182


182/365

There is nothing more peaceful than a sleeping baby...or more rotten. I will always know by the sheets that she she was insisting on sleeping in our bed for this one. The worst of it is that she wasn't even really sleeping. The next photo is of her with eyes wide open, grinning because she knew she had me right where she wanted.

Day 181


181/365

Gemma at 8 months

She was attempting to climb out of the chair the whole time. Little rascal! Regardless, I thought this captured her more serious side very well.
