Caroline Grace on the Go-Gator Rollercoaster....

As a reward for being a "good girl" and a great helper to Mommy, we were back to the carnival. This time Caroline Grace rode the Go-Gator Rollercoaster (video attached). I will not identify which child is Caroline Grace and we'll see if you can figure it out.

A few carnival side notes: 1) there is NOT a "No Smoking" policy for the workers 2) the workers do NOT have dental insurance as an employee benefit and 3) corndogs are only kept for 3 days prior to discard

Sunday's Best











Off to church....Mommy enjoys dressing Caroline Grace and Max up for church. Here are a few snapshots from various Sunday mornings.

Caroline Grace on BIG Ferris Wheel

Caroline Grace loved riding the Big Ferris Wheel at the local carnival. She had a great time riding rides while we were scouting out the carnival workers to see if any of them were long lost relatives. Based on our known relatives, we concluded that some of them could very likely be our long lost relatives. In the spirit of remaining "family neutral" we will not disclose which side of the family these relatives were likely from. Kendel probably had the most fun at the carnival and was overheard saying, "where else can I provide an afternoon of fun for the kids, pick up an anniversary gift, win a Mother's Day gift, and eat a 4 day old corndog all in one place?".

Caroline Grace Picasso????


Is Caroline Grace the next great artist? She loves to color, paint, do art work, and various crafts!

The next American Idol is Max Orr......

We were hoping for the future point guard of the Kansas Jayhawks or the quarterback of the Tennessee Volunteers, but we may have to settle for the next American Idol! His musical talent must come from his grandparents!

"Who Are You?"

Caroline Grace reading "Who Are You?" to Max. They both enjoy reading books and Max will "plop" down in the lap of anyone willing to read to him.

Caroline Grace enjoyed singing during her school's Easter program. On the other hand, when she was not singing; she was not quite as engaged....but still cute!

Max and Caroline Grace "hiking"

Max and Caroline Grace "hiking through the woods" in the backyard. Of course, Mommy was not aware of this activity until she viewed the video. Caroline Grace was well over 3 before she even considered "hiking through the woods" while Max, at 18 months, thinks he is ready for anything!

Kids hunting eggs together!
