Ohio Trip #1

We drove and drove and drove.  We left on a Thursday after work and made it all the way to Little Rock, Arkansas the first night.  We drove through a crazy rain storm complete with blinding lightening and booming thunder.


We were on the look out for mountains...
Never happened!

We exited the freeway to find a restroom and found this cute little barn and tractor.  We eventually found a restroom in a very OLD country store.


Driving over the Mississippi River
The bridge we drove on from Kentucky to Tennessee over the Mississippi River



During the course of the trip we drove over the Mississippi River, the Kentucky River, the Tennessee River and the Ohio River.  We had so much fun seeing tons of new things. 






No wonder Jack know all the words to all the songs on my Mp3 player

Kayla and Henry watching a movie

Sleeping Princess Brinley -  we lost her skirt along the way when she couldn't wait for the lady in the restroom at the Flying J and she pee'd on the floor right next to the soda machine.  I changed her clothes and we haven't seen the skirt since. (We were only 45 minutes from home!)

Proof that Lars didn't drive the ENTIRE trip!

Summer 2012 PART 2

Carson's cute shirt!

Grandma and Grandpa Flinders House, right across the street from the Kittaka's (my sister and family).  Seriously AWESOME!
We took a loooonnnnnggggg road trip this summer from Houston, TX to Waverly, OH.  It took over 20 hours spread over 2 days to get there but it was sooo worth it!  We had an amazing trip filled with fun, food, cousins, fireworks, waterslides, cook outs, cousins, berry picking, chickens, cousins, canning, shopping, donuts and so much more!  I'm in the process of organizing all the pictures and I will blog about it soon!

Summer Stuff

Mother's Day 2012 - Me and my DARLING kids!


Brinley did have a birthday in June and she did in fact turn 4.  Just goes to show that things that don't make it to this blog DO actually happen anyway! (don't you love the old, too small soccer cleats in the corner?)


We went to an outdoor symphony on July 3rd.  Man, it was sooooo hot!  Those fans were LIFESAVERS!!!  We only stayed 'til "halftime" then headed home to get some shut eye before the parade on the 4th.
