This sums it up!

This pretty much sums up our week with Roseola!

Our welcome back!

We came back from our vacation on Sunday night and wouldn't you know it, by Tuesday night Adriana was running a 103 temp. She only had it for the one night but on Thursday afternoon she came down with a rash from head to toe! You guessed it....Roseola. Well Thursday night Joey and I came down with the high temp, but Roseola isn't common for adults. Friday was terrible, not only was I running a temp but feeling miserable and had to drag myself into work because we were already short handed and I had no one to work for me. My fever had broke that morning but it was still miserable working in the heat when your achy and plus wearing the vest that allows no air in plus a duty belt makes for a miserable evening that ended up being really busy. Then Sat. afternoon Andrew came down with the fever! Sunday morning Joey started in with the rash so I'm guessing Andrew will be coming down with it soon enough. What a great way to welcome us all home but I'm very thankful it is all happening this week and not while we were on vacation so I do have to give a thanks to God for that!

The after hours show at SDC!

After Silver Dollar City closes each night, they put on a great show. This year's show was one of the funniest I've seen yet.
Here is a skit these guys put on about fishing. Chris was laughing so hard he was almost in tears!

These two were one of my favorites.......Ima Table and Clarence Table.....too funny!

Another funny skit made by the same people who did Ima and Clarence.

Here is the singers and dancers. All very, very talented people!


Great show! And even better because its free for us!

Silver Dollar City!

We actually went to Silver Dollar City three times, but I just made a compile of all the pictures into one post so that will explain all the different outfits the kids have on.

Playing in the sand.



Joey riding on the train.

While riding on the train, you will never guess what happened! We were robbed! That never happens on that train ride.......alright well maybe it happened all three times we rode on it. Very strange! The two guys on the right robbed us....booo!

Andrew and Jacob giving up their money.

Time for some rides! Mommy, daddy, and Adriana riding on the log ride, yes we all got really wet!

Adriana and Jacob riding on the swings.

Andrew riding the frogger ride.

And of course we have to let Andrew do his annual basketball game, cause you know we can never have enough basketballs around this house!

As many times as we go to Silver Dollar City, it will never get old. I love it so much down there and wished we lived closer so I can go there more often. Everyone is so friendly and its one of the best amusement parks I have ever been too!!!!

My wife.....err....husband?!

While watching the saloon show at Silver Dollar City, Chris was called upon to come on stage. It was the funniest thing when he came out from the back onto stage....Adriana yelled out "My daddy's a girl" and started laughing so hard!
Chris was a great sport and was even dancing on stage! I wish I would have had my camcorder with me but at least I have some blackmail pictures.....hehe!

Noah the Musical!

One of the nights we were down in Brason we decided to go see the show Noah the Musical. After searching online I was able to score cheap tickets saving us all $100 total and they were great seats! The show was AMAZING! I would definitely recommend it to anyone, even if your not a religious family. They wouldn't allow anyone to take photos during the show so unfortunately I don't have any but I did take a few from the outside.
Here is the Sight and Sound building that the show was in. It was a beautiful building!

The kids in front of the building.

The kids by the fountain on the outside of the building.

The kids with the Noah's Arc statue.

I think they are done with mommy's picture taking.

A scene from inside the building.

All the kids enjoyed the show and Adriana got a little emotional during certain parts. A definite family must see! I can't say enough about it!

Playing at the Lake!

We spent so many days at the lake so I just combined all the pictures into one post. Here are some of the pictures, considering I had a couple of hundred to go through.
Here is Joey!

Here is Andrew on the boat!

And the crazy girl riding the kneeboard at 6 years old! She wanted to water ski but we didn't have the small ones on the boat so she decided to kneeboard instead. We promised her she could try to waterski by the end of summer, so stay tuned!

We had such a blast plying on the boat I can't wait to do it again soon!
