We're turtle lovers, what can we say?
This fish kept posing for Michael.
Look at this fishes mouth! I'm sure someone knows what this fish is but I don't. It's very unique.
Our Patriot (yes he's wearing a necklace, he's secure)
The Oasis Pool.
Evan's TN cousins, Lauren and Brooke
Doesn't Lauren look TUFF with her tattoo? ;)
Evan's turn to kick the ball!
Mom showing her muscles and tough tattoo! (so there's rhinstones on it, it's still bad arse!). Look at the 'fear' and intimidation it causes in young children. ;) LOL. look at that FACE!!! eek!!!
I kinda think it's hilarious that he's sitting still in this picture or even on his back without being held down. It just doesn't happen anymore. ;)
"Evan's Fireworks" he loved it!
''Dad Da video''
Friday, July 3rd, we had Michael's brother Matt, wife Nanci and girls Brooke and Lauren over early so we could go to the Chattanooga Aquarium. We started 'early' in the morning and drove the 2ish hours south. The pictures and videos above will show our great day Friday in the Aquarium, stingray area and the Butterfly encounter (AWESOME, my personal favorite, even though i may or may not have severely damaged a butterfly that was on my leg and i didn't know it! ;( i felt really bad). We then came home in the late afternoon, exhausted and hung out at the house before our 'sleep over party' began! ;) lol We enjoyed having them overnight and over at all. In the morning the men folk (minus Evan) went to shoot guns with some friends of ours and Uncle Matt got to finally shoot his guns and Michael's as he lives in the 'city' and doesn't' have an occasion to shoot big guns out there. ;) There are no documented pictures of this activity unless the Lifferth's have some but you can all imagine what shooting a big gun at targets looks like. he he he. While they were gone, the women folk (plus Evan)... cleaned the house and prepared the meal... needle scratching a record.... j/k! yeah right!? as if!... The girls sunned themselves by the Oasis pool in our back yard and slip n' slided ( i have the bruises to prove i did it at least once, more than chicken Nanci can say. lol) till the boys came home. I got a little tan and had a great time with my girls. oh yeah, in preparation for swimming time, Evan was patiently waiting in his 'car' and said 'DAD DA'!!! It was awesome, cousin Lauren just went up to him and asked him to say it and he did! I then began recording our efforts to get him to say it again without saying "A-DA" and he did at the end of the video, he says it while I'm annoyingly talking!!! ... ok, back to the day... We ate yummy burgers and potato salad made by Michael then blew off some steam waiting for dark by 'popping champagne bottles', cones and throwing pop its, then playing kick ball. This may be our personal favorite memory; I kicked the ball in the tree (cause i don't know my own superhuman strength) and in the act of getting it out, consequently got an umbrella, a dust mop and an outdoor seat cushion stuck in the tree till multiple throws of the other seat cushions worked. ;) This was just in time for the rain then down pour and when that was done and Evan was asleep to miss all the blowing stuff up, we ... blew stuff up! ;-). We had a wonderful weekend with our kin. Grandma Jennie and Papa George were hobnobbing in Canada with the Prime Minister and his family so they couldn't make it (I'm not kidding) but next year I'm sure Jennie will be the one getting the kick ball stuck in the tree. ;) lol. We missed you and will see you soon.
Anyway, that's all folks. We hope you enjoy our pictures and video's. ;)

Sounds like a fun time was had by all. I love the funny faces that Evan makes. You can tell when he definitely likes or dislikes something. You and Michael are the best parents, except the grass part :)
Okay, two things.
1. I'm SO jealous you guys got to take Evan to the aquarium! I've been wanting to take Serif, but just haven't had the chance. I can't wait and it's encouraging to see how much fun he's going to have!
2. The photos of Evan in the grass remind me of when Jeff use to put tape on the bottom of his cat's feet. Oooohhh - mean. Hahaha!
Glad you guys had such an awesome holiday!
