I'm Still Here

Wow, it has been a very long since I have blogged and I miss it! Hoping to get back at is soon. For now I am trying out a new app on my phone. And here is a picture of Cody, Joshua and Amanda Davidson and Baylee after our field trip to the High Museum. This was taken at The Varsity!

Truly Organic!

We have been getting organic produce for a while now from a wonderful coop, and I just love, love, love it!!! One night, I took some fresh broccoli out of the frig, cut, rinsed and steamed it. I was so looking forward to it. Then I opened the pot and found this!

I should have been able to just pick it out and eat the rest of the yummy looking broccoli, but I just couldn't. None of us could. And it took a couple of weeks before I could look at broccoli again.

Baylee's AMTC photoshoot

In April, Baylee had a photoshoot for AMTC. It was a lot of fun for her and the final pictures came out great!!!

King Tut!!!

In March we went on a field trip to the King Tut exhibit in Atlanta with our friends Lonne and Peighton. We had studied Egypt earlier in the year, and it was so neat to get to see real artifacts up close. Baylee and Cody really liked the ancient toilet seat. Afterward we went to lunch at the Hard Rock. We had a great day!

At the gift shop, Cody found a pyramid that had a hidden treasure in it. We went home and he scraped and scraped at it until he found it!!

Twilight Release Party

In March, the Twilight movie was due to be released on DVD and there was a midnight party at Barnes and Noble. Soooooooo late for me. I am usually no good to anybody after 9:00. But Baylee really wanted to go and actually, I did too. I had been reading the books and although, they scared me a lot--nightmares for weeks, I was also fascinated by them.

So Baylee and her friend Madelyn and I went. We got there early, drank some hot chocolate and settled in for the fun. There was a trivia contest in which we each answered a question and won vampire teeth. We drank vampire drinks, and Baylee and Madelyn participated in the costume contest.

It was really fun!! And we went home with a copy of the movie which the girls watched before going to sleep (well, part of it anyway).

Butts Mill Farm

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

In the Spring we took a field trip to Butts Mill Farm. It was a bit chilly when we first arrived, but became a beautiful day later on. There was so much to do! Horseback riding, feeding the goats, bull riding, cow milking, bike riding, swinging, playing in the indoor play area, minigolf, and tree forts. It was so nice to be outside and in the country. The property was tranquil and relaxing. We're hoping to go back again in September. Yeeha!!
