Our camping trip

A couple of weekends ago we went camping at Jellystone campground in Cherokee, NC. We met my cousin/sister Christy and her family there. We were not brave enough to go tent camping with a 4, 2, and 8month old so we rented a cute cabin. We had a really good trip. Jellystone is the home of Yogi Bear for those of you who did not know that and when we went it was Yogi's birthday. We went on a wagon ride w/ Yogi and went to his birthday party. Gracie (the 4yr old almost 5 at the time) LOVED the characters. She couldn't get enough. You can't even imagine how excited she was to be around them. We went into town one afternoon and went mining for gems and had the girls pendants made from stones we had found. On the way out of town we stopped by a place to hike up to a waterfall called Mingo Falls and it was worth the hike. Enjoy the pictures from our weekend.

A Few More Pictures

Here are a few more pictures!!! I don't know how to rotate one of the pictures so have fun trying to look at it. I am still so new to this blogging thing.

6 month pictures

Here are a few shots from Madison's photo shoot a few weeks ago. Yes I am a little behind because Madison is now 7 months and a week. Hope you enjoy!

Getting ready for camping

We are going camping in a few weeks with Matt and Christy. Here we are trying out some camping gear. There will be many pictures of our first camping adventure when we get back.

Things are getting tough

Things are getting a little harder at the Buckelew household. Madison has outgrown her baby carrier car seat. That is the best thing EVER!!!! Now things are a bit harder. Madison can sit on her own but still gets tires after a while. She now has a new car seat and has to sit in the buggy and high chair when we go out. She has been really great at transitioning but it makes it harder on me. You have to bring a lot more things out with you. Hopefully this phase won't last long. Here are a few pictures of our new adventures!!

Introducing a new musician

Scott has been playing around with his guitar that he has had put up for a long time. The guitar case is lined with a fur like material to protect the guitar and I thought Madison would love to feel of it so I sat her inside the case. As I predicted she did like to feel the soft inside. Scott then thought it would be cute to let her hold the guitar and as you can see she is cute with it. Is she going to be the next BIG country artist? Guess we have a few years til we know.

NaNa and PawPaw Hinson came to visit

The grandparents were in town last week and babysat Madison one day for me. They had a BLAST!!! Madison was a bit spoiled when they left. PawPaw walked about 100 miles with her in the stroller. We had a great visit and can't wait for another.
