Skate Town

We went to a Skate Town party with Grant for his school. This was Keith's first time on skates and he was more interested in riding Grant's scooter.

Here he is on Grant's scooter.
We did have a good time skating but it was short lived.
This was his first time skating and he was trying to figure out what was on his shoes!
Keith was more interested in the games than anything!

Bye Daddy!

My Dad left for the Appalachian Trail on this past Sunday. This has been his dream for YEARS to hike the whole trail. He will be gone for about 6 months in order to finish the whole trail. We are excited for him that his able to do this, but we will greatly miss him:(

Packing his pack, and Keith as you can see is close by.
This is devotional book from his SS class, his angel pin from my Mom, and a Ranger Tab from Jerry.

It started to rain so we went up to the shelter where Daddy stayed that night. It was great to be able to see what a shelter looks like, and it gave Keith more time with PaPa.

This was PaPa's "night night", when I would ask Keith where PaPa was he would say "night night"
Up on the top bunk with Uncle Jon. Jon had a TIGHT grip on Keith!

Here is a group picture before we left Daddy. We are so proud of him and we can't wait to see him again!

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Michelle

Uncle Ryan and Aunt Michelle came down to spend sometime with Keith when we were in Athens. We decided to go to the park and so they could get some good quality time. We don't get to see them much and we cherish every moment we have together with them.

Botanical Gardens in Athens

I went back to GA with Keith to spend sometime with my Dad before we sent him off on the Appalachian Trail for 6 months. We had a blast on Saturday looking at the baby sheep, cows, and then going to the botanical gardens. Enjoy the pictures!

The sheep scared Keith when they said "BAAA, BAAA". He wanted his PaPa and only PaPa. He had a death grip on Daddy's shirt. It warms my heart to see this picture, because it shows the true feelings that they have for each other. PaPa is greatly missed, and we can't wait to see him again!

Aren't they cute!!

Keith LOVES his Uncle Jon (Bubba). He wants to go everywhere that Jon goes, it is really cute!
This picture captures the amount of fun and love they have together.
Jon took Keith around and let him touch different trees and plants.

Keith was telling Jon he wanted to go over there.
This is where he wanted to go.

Having fun with his Aunt and Uncle.
Anything is fun as long as Keith is with his Uncle Jon. Jon says that having Keith around makes him appreciate the little things, like leaves!
