September 1, 2011 at 2pm we boarded our first airplane ride with the kids on our way to Denver for a 2 hour lay over and then off to GA. The kids did pretty well. Skylr was amazing like always, she thought it was pretty cool to listen to the music on the head phones and during our decent into Denver it got a little bumpy and Sky said "whoa" so Tim asked "What was that?" and Sky responded " I don't know." It was fun, but Gavin had a rougher time. We left during nap time and he was VERY tired, but doesn't like to be rocked to sleep. So he screamed a lot (I am quite sure most of the passengers thought I was smothering my child, because the only way to get him to sleep is to let him cry it out so I put my hand over his mouth and let him go at it) after about 5-8 min of crying Gavin fell asleep. Our layover was nice, walking around with kids is a must!! We didn't get to GA until 11pm GA time 9pm ID time, so we bathed and then off to bed for a busy weekend of FUN with G&G Lucore!!
September 2, 2011 we woke up and were so happy to be with Franpa and Grandma. It took the kids an hour or so to warm up to the grandparents, but once they did G&G couldn't get a break. :) Although I am sure they didn't want one :)
It's Friday now and the day of the Braves baseball game. Tim got an awesome Jersey shirt to wear, but the game didn't start until 7ish so we went to the store for groceries and essentials (mnt. dew) and played games.
Daddy and Franpa are playing stack the chairs with Skylr.
Ready for the Braves vs. Dodgers game all decked out in blue and red.

Go Braves!!
Ready to watch some baseball.
Skylr doing the traditional chop!
Such a good seat sharer
And Gavin had enough, after Tim walked around with Gavin for 15 min. he was out until firework time.
Although it is fuzzy that is us on the big screen!
Firework show after the game. Although the Braves didn't win it was a great game!!Day 3 Saturday. Today is the day of the BSU-Georgia game. Tim and his dad attended the game while the rest of us enjoyed the lake house 50 ft from the lake. Since kick off wasn't until 8ish we enjoyed the lake at a consistent 80 degrees and the awesome pontoon boat.
On Skylr Island!! An island a couple miles from the lake house. It was so nice out and the water was so warm (80 degrees).
The boys left for the game about 4 hours before kick off, but were so excited to soak up the BSU football glory!! The Georgia Dome was so cool and the fans were great on both sides of the field. 
The seats we great!! They were padded and very comfortable. The boys sat in the Georgia section, but had a blast. 
Lucore boys at the game! Of course BSU Won!!! GO BRONCOS!!
On Sunday we attempted to go to the Nascar race, but got rained out. Before the rain we were all smiles and thought it was just cool to be there.
On Monday we enjoyed being inside and relaxing. The boys went fishing and Skylr and I went on a walk which is were we found a Box turtle that Sky named Bob (all by herself). We kept it for a few days then let him go. Skylr only thought it was fun to look at and not be to close to. :)
The lake house was so big and the kids had so much fun running around and playing with all the toys G&G got them.
We started playing Phase 10. We played for three nights, I won the first night, then Franpa, then me again!!
Tuesday we went back to Nascar and watched the race. It was rainy in the beginning and had to be stopped a couple of times, but with about 65 laps left they were able to finish the race with Jeff Gordon the as the winner. We were all rooting for different drivers, I was for Kyle Bush #18, Tim for Kurt Bush, Grandma for Tony Stewart and Franpa for Jr. and Carl Edwards. 
Wednesday the boys went fishing again and only Franpa reeled in the fish, so we fried them up and had fish for dinner. 
We went fishing again on Thursday, and found a spot with hundreds of fish (according to or fish finder-all the red dots are fish at certain depths) but we couldn't catch or get a bite off one :(
Although we didn't watch a fish we had fun on the boat. We headed back in, got all packed up and set out to the airport. The plane rides were great once we got on at Denver, the kids were good. We were home by 10pm, bathed and off to bed (p.s. the lake house had a washer and dryer so no laundry for mom, just unpack and back to normal):) happy to be home, but could have stayed there forever!! Thank you so much Franpa and Grandma Shannon, you two made our week!! We had such a wonderfully awesome time and it was all due to you two!! Thank you and we love you both so much...can't wait to see you guys again, drive safe!!Now the we are back home, Tim will continue his student teaching at Columbia High in Nampa as well as couching Columbia's Freshman Football team. Tim has been staying really busy with that and us and we see so much potential in our future and with Tim's career, we are so thankful Tim was able to student teach at Columbia. I have been watching two sister(one 2 and the other 3) from the ward a few times a week which keeps me busy. Skylr is being signed up for gymnastics this fall and is way excited. Gavin is army crawling everywhere which has been fun, Sky loves it because they can play together. We are all healthy and happy and hope you are too! :)
