Aurelie's 3rd Birthday!!! 7/14/13

 My beautiful little girl is now 3 years old.  She is so smart.  She has been talking in full sentences for over a year and talks all the time.  She can already speak a bit of French and can express herself very well in English.  The boys only spoke a little bit at her age but I guess that is one of the big differences between boys and girls.  She loves to sing and dance and any time there is music playing she will spin around the room until she crashes into something or falls down.  I am definitely going to have to get this girl dance lessons.
We love you sweet little Aurelie!  Happy Birthday!!!

 My sister Chandra got her a fairy costume.  It is so cute.  Aurelie had to put it on right away of course.

 We got her a pink and purple tricycle and a Princess Play house.  She is obsessed with Pink.

Memphis Tennessee 6/21/13

 We stopped by Memphis Tennessee on the way home for some yummy Barbecue.  Graceland was already closed for the day so we just took some pictures outside the house and the visitors center.  I was surprised how run down Memphis is now.  The barbecue was good though.

 If you look closely through the trees you can see Elvis's old house.

Sieverville and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee June 2013

 This is a great restaurant we went to with yummy country kitchen Southern style food.  They even gave Thierry a free lunch because it was Father's Day.  Our waitress was awesome as well and reminded me of my Aunt Connie.

 Outside the restaurant they had hula hoops, a bean bag toss, and other fun stuff for the kids to do.

 We went to the Nascar Theme Park on our second day.  Julien loved being able to drive his own car.  He went on this ride over and over all day and never grew tired of it. He was also winning every race.  He passed the other drivers several times before they had to pull back into the station.  Too bad he had to yell out "See ya Sucker!" every time he passed another driver though.  One boy got a bit upset after Julien passed him for the third time and said "See ya Sucker!" for the third time.  Time for Julien to learn a bit of humility.

 Here we are at Dollywood.  We loved it here.  We went to Dollywood 2 days and Dollywood Splash Country one day.  It didn't just have fun rides but it was really beautiful there as well and had yummy restaurants.  They also had speakers throughout the park playing Dolly Parton songs.  It was a lot of fun.
