Tubing in Helen, Georgia

August 13, 2011 A group of us headed up to Helen, GA to go tubing yesterday as a Back to School adventure for the kids. They all had a successful first week! We had a great time floating down the river and grabbing pizza after! Thanks for a great day everyone!!

First day on the bus

August 9, 2011 - Our street has always been car riders, seems crazy really but it's just the way it has always been. Jack and Drew told me they wanted to give the bus a try and since they would be together, I agreed. We also found out that Jayden and Raelyn would be riding too! So, we have a Kindergartener, 1st grader, 2nd grader and 5th grader riding the bus at 7am. This was their first day riding the bus because I brought them to school yesterday. I can't wait to hear all about it! Andrew, Jayden and Jack

Cute little guys waiting for their first big school bus ride!

"MOM, enough with the pictures!!!"

And away they go...

No Cavities for The Welch Boys!!

August 8, 2011 - The boys had to go for a cleaning today. I know what you're thinking, what kind of Mom makes you go to the dentist on the first day of school? How cruel can you be? Well, the good news is they had great check-ups and even got to write their names on the No Cavity board. I love that Jack wrote, "Thank you. from Jack W." What kid thanks the dentist? He makes me giggle...Great job boys!! xoxoJack looking good.

Drew did not take it as well as Jack

Look at those teeth...so clean and NO CAVITIES!

GIRLS NIGHT OUT!

The Ladies of the view...minus a few. We missed you!

Me, April & Laurie

Brandy, Jen & Angie

Thank you Disney Channel look-a-like waiter guy for the water! ;)

Look who showed up on the scene...KIM!!!

We had been talking about going out for a while. We spend a lot of time together on the street playing wiffleball, watching kickball and just sitting and chatting but this was an evening full of fun, laughter and good times minus the "Mom, Mommy, Mom, Mommy...Momma!!"

Thanks for a great night ladies! xoxo

Atlanta's Finest 5K - August 6, 2011

We all know Jack loves to run and fortunately he has parents that enjoy it as well. Saturday he ran in the Atlanta's Finest 5K Road Race with the Atlanta Police Department. He wore his SWAT shirt, ran with his Dad and did a great job! He will proudly tell you that he beat the entire Atlanta Police Academy Recruit Class...he really did too!! Great job, Jack! You continue to amaze me! Jack crossing the line!

That is one sweaty boy!

Drew waiting on Jack & Neil eating some snacks! At least he is looking like an involved participant! :)

Drew's favorite part...the SWAT bomb robot.
