A trip to Cabelas

 We took a trip to the new Cabela's store in Acworth on Saturday. The boys loved seeing all of the animals and the fish tank. While we were there, they were holding a children's archery class. The man that helped us was very nice. He didn't have a bow small enough for Nathan to use, so he opened one up. He tried to teach Nate how to draw it and shoot, but Nathan wasn't strong enough to do it just yet. He had a lot of fun trying though!

 Cabela's also had camo face painting, so the boys got their faces painted.

If I can, I'll try to get David to upload a video of Nathan using the bow.

Tessa

 A few cute pictures of Tessa, she is getting so big!

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!

Tessa and Natahsa

Tessa LOVES our new kitten Natasha! Here is a little video of the two of them playing together (AJ is talking about a game on the iPad- Club Penguin).

Park play time

After school we stopped at the school playground for a while before walking home. It was cute to see Nathan playing "in his element" and helping his brother and sister too.

At the zoo!

 Some pictures of our Summer adventures to Zoo Atlanta.

 Then on to the Merry go round for AJ and Tessa's first ride.

 After the merry go round Nathan got to climb the elastic ropes. He made it to the top without any help!

Anderson James turns 3!!

 Happy happy birthday AJ! 

Anderson requested a batman/bat cave birthday party, so we turned our house into a bat cave for him. His friend Jaxon and Blaze came to his party.

 Batman even came!

 Yummy!

 Nathan was a good big brother and helped AJ open his presents.

Happy happy birthday AJ!  We love you SO much! You are such a joy in our home! I love that you want to be Batman when you grow "bigger bigger bigger"! You are so sweet to your big brother and little sister, and they love you so much too.
