Matthew's First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Matthew's first day at Pillow. He had a great day and is excited to go back tomorrow. He is such a big boy now - it kinda hurts my feelings!! Ann Lamar started the 2nd grade today - I took a picture of her too on our way to school.

Trip to the Smoky Mountains

My daddy took us all to Pigeon Forge a few weeks ago. James Hyer stayed home with Matt and the grandmothers because it was too long of a trip him (he doesn't ride well for long). We had a lot of fun - it was really neat watching Matthew and Ann Lamar enjoying all of the same things we did growing up. Here are a few of the pictures.

Matthew was scared of his hero "Captain Jack Sparrow" at first.

He eventually warmed up to him when he realized the gun was plastic.

Matthew's first time at a Japanese restaurant.

Yes, we are dorks - HA!! We did have a great time at Dollywood - I actually think my sister and I had just as much fun as the kids.

Matthew was worn out and fell asleep at dinner one night.

This one was for Matt.... I couldn't resist!
