Happy Birthday To The BX!

A while back ago I enter a contest on Twitter for the 116th birthday of the BX. Not thinking I would win I did & the prize was $116 to the BX. I got a call while we were on our way to TN. When I went to go pick it up I was informed that I would be getting my picture made. They even had a sign made up for me.

Summer Vaction In TN

We decided to head to TN for a few days.

MJ loved the fact that her Nana has a pool:

MJ been wanting to have a pool party so Mollie arrange some family to go swimming w/ us that day:

Kaylee (10 months), Debbie's daughter. Look at sweet little face:

Jessie's adorable daughter, Maddie (14 months):

We went shopping on Knoxville one day & MJ was excited to see a Disney Store:

MJ love the buggy. She now thinks we need one:

On the last night, Ben's friend Nick had their ban, Motherload played near by. Nick allowed Ben to sit in a few songs:

All in all it was great seeing everyone. We're hoping to spend Thanksgiving there.

The 3 Grandkids

The other day we went to Ryan & Emily's for lunch to celebrate dad's birthday. Right before lunch we attempted to get all the girls picture together:

Winkie, Tuck, & Miranda too

No, it's not the new The Wonder Pets theme song. We got two new guinea pigs named Winkie (from the ZhuZhu Pets) & Tuck (the turtle from The Wonder Pets) who are father & son. A guy in Jacksonville was given them away w/ all their stuff. He travels a lot & felt like he didn't have time for them. MJ is over the moon as you can see in the pictures:

Winkie, the father is a grayish & white color:

Tuck, the son, is mainly brown w/ some white hair:

Rocky is really liking them:

Meeting of the minds:

May Madness At School

MJ's school had what they call "May Madness"... pretty much a splash day at her school. They a lot of water stations & they had 5 minutes at each one. Boy, let me tell you it was a HOT one that day!


MJ's favorite station was the bouncy house/water slide:

The kids all loved the firetruck:
