4th of July

Nic and Matt invited us down to Green Springs for dinner and fireworks. It was a lot of fun except Autumn was at dad's house. The girls shared a couple of bottles oops I mean glasses of wine.

Molly has a new buddy Dan. Dan kept saving Molly for Arthur...

Oh ya meet Arthur the Raymor's new puppy. He loved Molly's swinging dress or her new stuffed animal that Aunt Nic didn't need to get her. Arthur's puppy teeth were not nice to Mo.

She did love her first corn on the cob. What is more 4th of July then your first corn on the cob. If that didn't make it a great night, we took a plate full of brownies to the fireworks show. Great night Nic and Matt. Thanks. It almost makes me feel bad for this...

Almost...

You know I had to right? Love ya Nic.

FYI

I have asked Autumn to post some blogs this summer. I hope this will teach her even more about the computer. (Someone needs to learn and teach me.) She is very proud of her first post and yes she did it all even down loading the pics. I'm very proud of her too. I'll have Autumn sign her posts so we can watch the progress that I'm sure she will do just this summer. I can't wait till she goes to GS camp. I hope we have gotten enough pics out there to make all the grandmas happy for a while. Make sure to look at the older pages too, as I have posted a bunch. Kari

Yard Work by AUTUMN

We were working outside and Mom said, "Autumn look there is a caterpillar eating my parsley".

This is some of our work .

When we were done putting in the plants we had to wash of the river rocks. Molly liked the water so I gave Molly a puddle.

Splash. Splash. Splash.

Molly stop tickling my toes!

I don't want to go home!!!

Look we are all in one picture! Love this new camera I can work the timer. Now the zoom would have helped sorry. We always take the group photo then the generations take turn with the Queen Bee (He He He) Grandma Grape.

Great grand kids 3 of 9. Have I told you all girls too.

The grand kids (remember Sept 1st 09 Ryan is joining the family officially. No scaring him off Pete let him find out on his own.)

The daughters.

Now all the girls, 4 generations. What a good looking group. I love you all!!!

Science Museum

The Science Museum was 3 stories tall. In the center was the coolest playground thing I had ever seen. Adults can fit in it too!!! It will take you all the way up to a pyramid on the roof.

Yes, I did the slides too and didn't get stuck.

Mo wasn't very good at swinging the hammer but she could step on them.

Don't look down.

They had a whole section on what it was like to be handy capped and the importance of having things excess able. There was also braces you could put on you legs and see if you could make it up 4", 6", or 8" steps. The best part was watching the "big kids" aka mom, dad, Laura, and Pete play checkers with gloves on.

This only reminds me how old an out of shape I am.

Pete and Molly found an Ambulance...

And Molly would not get out!

Is this what they mean by eyes in the back of your head?

Remember the movie Big? All I'm going to say.

Show them how to get down Molly.

Grandma Grape the Dinosaur hunter.

Don't get stuck Pete I almost did. Molly loved crawling in real close to the dinosaurs. No fear this one that is going to be bad.

All week the middle girls worked on a couple of dances to High School Musical. They never knew they were going to find a stage with cameras.

And Molly found her new love another car.

You can get in, Autumn but I'm driving.

Rain Forest Cafe

I love this place but I'm glad we don't have one close Autumn and Molly had to much fun.

That fish is even bigger than our Molly.

Don't be an #%*. Ha Ha Ha. I had to.

Look out Laura!!!

Boo!!!

Look who is eating. Stolen food off dad's plate is better than food that is offered any day.

Down town Nashville

The Nashville Library was having a puppet expo all week we made it for the last day and the last show. That's timing. The girls got to make puppets but they were closing so make them quick. Sorry.

Bring the rest we can finish it at home later. I have a craft room full of "stuff".

This is the very cool visitors center.

Pete picked lunch BBQ. Yum!

Country Music Hall of Fame!!! Not many pics inside not allowed to use a flash and kids move to fast for that.

Mo rode in style at times. Thanks Grandma Grape for sharing the Cadillac.

Dad don't let her unload the entire shelf please.

They sang their way through the museum and I think the had a good time.

Mo got a new cow, see Papa.
