Great Visits!

We recently traveled to Chattanooga to the Tennessee Aquarium to meet up with our old friends. Here are a few of our pictures.

Me & Dawn. Dawn is one of my most favorite Army wives, who is stationed in Germany right now. She has taught me so much; how to can, grow a veggie garden, love candles to their fullest and is just one of my dearest friends.

The kiddos. Samuel, Owen, Kyle, Erin, and Issac. Kyle and Samuel were the best of friends at Ft. Riley. Kyle loved to play with his "Mamuel," his way of saying Samuel at the time. Erin is the oldest and she is such a loving sister and very mature little lady. She was a great help to Dawn and I at the aquarium. Issac and Owen were our new additions that we got to meet for the first time since we left Kansas.

Boys. Samuel had this little wrist leash that helps Dawn in high traffic times. It was adorable because eventually, Kyle wound up wearing the other end of the leash and we didn't have to worry about loosing one of them. Owen also wanted to to be involved and would occasionally carry the center.

Uncle Ty (Tyler Sammis), our dear friend and more so adopted brother. It didn't take long for Owen to snuggle in and love on Ty. Tyler stopped by and got to meet Owen for the first time as headed to Boston. Ty just got out of the Army and we thank him for his service.

Samuel with the classic look. I love this picture because there are some things that even time can't change. Like sucking on your fingers. :)

I love this picture too! There was this awesome tube that the boys poked into and were able to look out at us from.

Steve & Ty. The best of friends and great snugglers of the kiddos.

Erin loves to help out the boys! She is just such a sweet girl and I loved seeing her again. She really does love her brother and loved helping Kyle out too.
