Cheesecake & VeggieTales

Our day of adventure ended at The Cheesecake Factory, Yum! What an awesome weekend!


As a side note, this morning, Aaron discovered a jumbo-sized zucchini that was given to Brian at work, and Aaron asked, "Aaron hold VeggieTale"? He held it like a baby and talked to it. He seemed to be relating it with the characters in the many VeggieTales DVDs he watches. So cute!

Brian and I enjoyed the birthday get-away in Orlando this past weekend, but we are glad to be back with the kiddos again (of course, they were having a blast with KK while we were gone).

The Holy Land Experience Theme Park

These mushrooms seats were perfect for taking in the live performances.


"Jonah and the Whale"

The children's section was very colorful and full of creatures and Bible characters.

A miniature replica of Jerusalem at the time of Christ. There were so many details. This photo doesn't even begin to show the extent of this exhibit.

Beautiful Gardens!

It's actually astro turf he's standing on.

"Jerusalem Market"

Enjoying a Shofar Sounding

Basket Hats & Chicken Broth

Aaron has had a stomach bug lately, and he seems to dig chicken broth...as long as he can drink it through a straw. =)


Cheese!

Peas & Carrots

I like to eat little boxes of raisins nowadays...box included.


Aaron & Mama cuddling on the couch

Aaron is getting to the age where he "gets" picture taking time and loves to ham it up. Meanwhile, you can see Zoe in the background, climbing on "Daddy Mountain" and being the wild woman that she is. These truly are the days for me to remember. After a week on what we described to Aaron as his "vacation", I have missed my babies badly, and I'm appreciating these times so much more than before. Peas and carrots!

We Miss You, KK!

Well, after literally years of the whole family begging her to get her pictures made for us, my sister, Katie finally gave in.

We're glad we get to see her mug in these pictures since we miss her so much.


And we know she's enjoying her classes and right where the Lord would have her...

...but we sure can't wait till the next time we get to see her!

We love you, KK!
