Bath Time:
Audrey
Megan
Maybe all kids scream like this in their first bath, but these two look suspiciously similar. (Thanks for the reminder Ali.)
The Swing: It goes a little slower with each kid, and makes this crank noise when it starts up, but 7 years and 4 girls later I guess it still works.
Today Audrey is hanging [...]
When we were looking for houses, we really liked this neighborhood because of all the kids we saw running around. Well, they all come out Halloween if not the rest of the days. The girls dressed up and we headed down to one of the cul-de-sacs that Alyssa’s friends live on and spent most of [...]
I had never heard of Fall Break before moving here. Apparently, kids need a little time off after only 2 months of school, so Alyssa had Thursday and Fri off last week and no soccer game. Ethan thought it would be fun for us to take one last trip before Audrey comes so we went [...]
We have officially been in Tennessee for a year now. I will be able to easily mark the day because it is when the county fair is in town too. I remember seeing the ferris wheel last year, but we never found the time to go - you know in the middle of moving your [...]

We took a drive last weekend into Dallas. Luckily, the girls were making their way from Houston so it was an enjoyable drive. Not much to see though since it was mostly interstate. We spent a few days with Blair and Nicole and then celebrated my Papa’s 90th birthday.
Oma joined us in the car on [...]

That was our lesson of the day. It was our first 4th of July parade and we (or just I) were excited. Amanda and I spent the day before decorating the wagon for Megan and Mallory to ride in. We had hats, outfits, flags, and even a bubble machine. Alyssa and I wrapped crepe [...]

For Alyssa’s birthday we bought her a Butterfly Pavilion. We sent in our coupon and received 10 Painted Lady caterpillars. Lucky for me my mom was here when we started this process and helped walk me through it. While the process is amazing to watch it is also a little gross. We made a [...]
Ice cream in the evening
Making Papa smile
We have had lots of fun around our house over the last two weeks. My mom and niece, Blakely, were here for a week and my dad joined at the end. The girls had a great time together, and I just enjoyed having one of my girls occupied 24 [...]

I hear those words from my husband at least once a week. Usually relating to the weather or the scenery. Today we went to Percy Warner Park in Brentwood to enjoy some nature. They have a really good nature center displaying the birds and wildlife that can be seen in the park. We saw everything [...]

My brother and family were here for a very quick visit. They had a funeral to attend nearby in Tennessee, so were able to spend one night with us. We kept their visit a surprise from Alyssa and when they knocked at the door, she was a little in shock I think. She talks about [...]
the Whaleys
We live outside of Nashville, TN. God has blessed us with three beautiful girls, Alyssa, Megan & Audrey. He took our son, Noah, to be with Him in 2005. May our lives show He is our Lord.
