Bucket List Update

Well, summer is in full swing, and we are checking things off our Bucket List weekly.  Here's an update!

We didn't get any pictures at VBS but he went at the beginning of June and had a ball!  He's still singing some of the songs he learned.

A few weeks ago we went to the park and made a new friend (checking two off at once!)  E will be in K with Wheeler this year.  His mom and I teach together and thought it would be nice to get the boys together this summer.  We hope to do more with them before school starts next month.

We have gone strawberry and blackberry picking so far this summer with the cousins.  After strawberry picking we hit the park for a picnic.

Caroline has been a good sport!

At the park.

Surprisingly we found a lot of ripe blackberries.  To look at the bush they weren't ready.

We decided not to get Dollywood passes this year, but went during Sevier County days.

LOVE this pic.  He's so happy!

Game night!  I didn't get too many pics last month but we have another coming up next week.

We went to see Monsters University this week.  It was the first time Wheeler had been to the movies.  He loved it!

Swimming at Aunt Kelli's.  We've been a couple of times already.  Wheeler is around the pool like a fish and Caroline seems to love the water.

And this wasn't on our Bucket List, but I had the opportunity to teach summer school at the last minute and we had a Pre-K class.  Wheeler was able to attend.  He learned about the school, met several of the teachers, had lunch in the cafeteria, and learned some general rules along with having fun and meeting other upcoming Kindergarteners.  This is how the ride home went most days!!!

yes, we have a long commute so he decided to keep a pillow and blanket in the backseat!

We have more Bucket List activities planned and not much summer left!!

We've Been Busy

Long time, no blog again!  I've thought about it several time, but work and the boy are keeping me busy!

We went to Dollywood earlier this month.  Wheeler always loves to go there.

Love him!

On the obstacle course.

With mom.

With mom again.

Then the next weekend we met some friends at the pumpkin farm in Sevierville.

With my new friend!

Here we are again!

Baaa!

After the pumpkin farm that day, we went to Cherokee and Wheeler saw his first concert.....Charlie Daniels.  He wasn't too impressed......

On the way to Cherokee on this afternoon, we saw a mamma bear and her cub in a tree.  I tried to get pictures, but you can't really see the bears.  Wheeler and I got out of the truck and stood under the limb momma was on.  It was a little frightening to me.  Wheeler loved it!

We went to Oaks farm with Daddy the next weekend and had a ball!

Sliding!

I loved jumping!  Mommy got on, too, but those pictures won't be posted!!  haha

The rabbit was soft.

Finding the perfect pumpkin!

In a field of pumpkins....aka....pumpkin heaven.

A Wheeler sized pumpkin.

Riding back with daddy.

Just hanging out and exploring.

We had game night last week, and since Sophie was sick and couldn't come, Wheeler entertained himself.....

He said he was in his car driving.

And this one just cracks me up..........

I love John, and all he does and tries to do for us!  Notice what he's trying to teach
Wheeler.......including the square root sign!
