Phone Pictures

These are the crazy things that I find on my phone all the time. Here's a few shots.



She made herself into a fairy. Of course! Love this girl with her crazy faces!

Catching Fireflies

This was one of the most fun things that we did while we were in Tennessee in the summer. This is the reason why we try to go to Tennessee every summer. I think we caught fireflies almost every night we were there. The kids love it because it's so neat to see bugs light up.

I tried to get one to light up for us, but I'm not good with my camera, so this is what I got.


Emi was afraid of them at first, but then later she loved them.

Brenden is so sweaty because he would run and run and try to follow the fireflies. Good workout!

Ripley's Aquarium and Gatlinburg

We took another trip to the Smokey Mountains to a town called Gatlinburg. It is so pretty up there and so much fun. We went to our favorite stops, the Ripley's Aquarium.

Emi posing for every picture with the fish. She asked me to take pictures of her and of every fish. I have a ton of pictures of Emi, but not so much of Brenden because he hates taking pictures.


Emi swimming with the fish. Nah! There's a tunnel where you can stick your head in the aquarium and act like you are swimming with the fish.


Outside visiting the penguins, but you can't see the penguins. I just love the scenery of Gatlinburg where they have the little stream running down through the town.


My Mom and me.


Then we hit the sights of Gatlinburg. This huge ball weighs an actual ton, but you can move it because it has a thin trace of water all around it, so it kind of floats on the water. Of course, we have to touch it and try it out.


Family Shot minus Baachan.


Then we saw a little pageant girl, so my sister stalked her so that she could get this shot. Emi's favorite show right now is Toddlers and Tiaras. Kind of weird... She's so fascinated with them getting all beautified. I must say that those girls really do look like little dolls up close with all the makeup and hair.


What? I thought we were in Tennessee? :)


My Dad. Thank you for spoiling us all the time. ;) We love you!!! I love how you are holding Emi's pink pony purse.


And finally some shots of the boy who hates taking pictures. We finally got some good ones, IN THE CAR!
