No the horses name is not Lilly! Isaiah thinks that every animal is "Lilly" because that is our cat's name. He LOVES animals...which is awesome b/c so often little kids are so scared of the BIG animals.

The Cowboys!

Matt & Cory went horseback riding in the Smoky Mountain National Park

while we were all on vacation in early April.

Bear

While driving the Gatlinburg bypass we passed a large group of cars pulled over to the side of the road & knew there must be a bear nearby. Sure enough....to the right side of the road on the mountain side was a mamma bear & her cub. If we had had the time we would have stopped, btu we were on our way to meet some friends for dinner. But luckily the camera focused in just the right spot as we drove by at 20-25 mph. That is the momma, the cub is there somewhere behind the trees.

Laurel Falls - Smoky Mountains

Matt & Cory climbed down towards the bottom of the falls below us.
Crazy Matt...

Our Family...

It is hard to believe, but I think this is one of the only "family portraits" we have.
