Summer Trip to Tennessee

This is Maddie, her Aunt Rachel, and her cousin Josalyn. This was what we spent pretty much all our time doing while we were there. It was like 100 degrees so we took advantage of Papa and Kay Kay's pool and swam all day long. This is at Andy's Dad's house is TN. Rachel is Andy's half sister, she is 15 and she loves her nieces more then anything and they love her.

These two are the two year old trouble makers. They love to play and fight and cause trouble, like any typical two year old i guess. But they are just so darn cute no one cares.

This is all four cousins.They are Kenzie, Maddie, Josalyn, and Brooklyn. Kenzie and Josalyn came down with us to TN to visit their dad (Clint) for the weekend. Misty(their mom) lives in Ohio right now, so we borrowed my mom's suburban and drove 5 little girls in one car for 6 hours. It was awesome.

I couldn't get these pictures to turn the right way and i don't know why, so sorry.

This is Brooklyn finally swimming by her self for the first time. At first she would only sit on the steps, then she got use to the floaties, then by the end of it we had her jumping off the diving board. Nothing scares her now.


Here she is jumping off the side of the pool for the first time, she had to work her way up to the diving board.

Rachel having a blast with Maddie while she jumps into her arms from the steps. This was their constant game.

Brooklyn and Josalyn swimming all by themselves.

Daddy and Maddie making funny faces.


Maddie loves cherries, it is almost an obsession, i think she could eat a whole bag by herself.

Brooklyn found two toads one night all by herself. She reads a night sounds animal book at night sometimes, and through reading that she knew by the sound they made that they are peeping frogs, because of the way they peep. Our girl knows her frogs, Papa was impressed.

Andy got her to kiss them, i thought it was gross, but of course Brooklyn didn't hesitate.


We finally got her to go off the diving board and once we did there was no stopping her, she did it again and again.
