Luttrell Vacation

We went to Pigeon Forge this year with my side of the family....We had such a great time. We went swimming almost everyday, hiking, we went to Dollywood (John David rode on some really cool rides....I forgot my camera on this day, so I'll post those pictures when my dad sends them), we went horseback riding, and to the Dixie Stampede. The best thing of all was spending time with family. Having such a great family has a special way of making your heart smile just a little bit bigger! I love you guys!
(This is about all the pictures I took, but hopefully my dad will have some good group shots that I can post later!)

Yah! We're there!! We met everyone at Cracker Barrel....
Kloe and Kali...

Kase and John David...

The One Year olds! John David, Karli, and Kase!
Kloe and Kobe! Kobe was really stylin' in his swim trunks and cowboy boots....he picked this out himself!

Fun at the pool!
Kobe....they say that John David looks a lot like Kobe....I think it's the big brown eyes!
Trying to escape...

We took a hike up to see a water fall....all of us....six kids included!
The falls...

Thinkin' he was a big boy!

He was so intrigued by the water fall it was hard to get a picture!
I like this one....

I think we atleast look a little alike!

Back at the pool!

We had a full day of celebrating Kloe's birthday on Saturday. First we went horseback riding....

And we were able to pet all the animals....

Then we went to the Dixie Stampede...
I love these pictures...

David and I were able to go down to the arena and play a relay game....infront of thousands of people...and, ofcourse, with David's competition we won! He actually slug his pregant wife across the finish line, but we won and got these very cool medals. :-)

Then we finished the celebration with cake, presents, and sparklers...

and ofcourse lots of candy!!!!
On our way home.... John David was climbing away from the car seat! I don't think he wanted to leave!
Here he's holding on to dad's seat trying to fight his way out of getting strapped in....



We had an awesome time! The only bad thing was that it came to an end so quickly! Thanks so much everyone for making the time together so special and fun! I love you guys!

Botanical Gardens

Daddy took John David and I to Botanical Gardens today.....

John David loved playing in the rock fountains...
Thirsty anyone?...yum yum.

Mom was quite amused herself! ha

And he's OFF...he's right there in the center...red shorts...he has no fear of losing his parents that's for sure....
... I think this might have been what he was after!
Huge beach chairs!
Having a serious conversation:-)
They had tons of different "exhibits"....this is the dinosaur one...

Dad played a not-so-nice trick on the little guy.....
...but he liked it....
Then he learned how to do it himself.

This is a very cool little town with Bonsai trees, a train, and house with very little people.....very cool! Then it was time to go home....

But the fun always continues...this picture is a bit fuzzy, but if you can tell.....
... his diaper is still stuck around his waist but dangling.....
I really hope these pictures do this justice....I laughed till I got teary eyed....

Memorial Day Fun!

We had tons of fun this Memorial Day! Daddy was home all day and we got to do all kinds of fun things.....first we went to the park, then we got in the pool....

...his whole entire head got into the pool....
...he must have liked it...


... then we got into a little trouble.....

but then the ice-cream man came by and we got a yummy yummy treat!

A good ending to a good day!

Very late Birthday Party Pics...

So I realized that I never put pictures up of John David's Birthday party here in Alabama....here they are a month and a half late:-)

(I've been sick with this pregnancy, but now am feeling tons and tons better and just trying to catch up!!)

We celebrated with Grammy, Pops, and Uncle Seth....

I just don't think the no playing ball in the house rule is going to be for this family:-)~

I tried.....it just doesn't work for either son or husband!
