Our Vacation And More

Here are just a few pictures that have been posted to show some of the things that we did on vacation. As you can see, Grace really enjoyed herself at the Tea House with all the girls. And of course no Boys were allowed.


Here is the great Train Station that we visited while in TN. As you can see all our kids enjoyed this event very much.






This is just one of those precious Moments of one cousin to the other. Eric is just getting in the Habbit as he should.




And here is our Precious Family of SIX. OOPS, did I say SIX. Well, Mom it is ironic that when you joke about something and it ends of to be true all I can see is Thank You Lord for Kid number Four. We found out just days before I departed the family. That's right family this picture contains the Quality of TWO loving Parents with their FOUR children. We are happy and blessed and will be expecting around the End of March 2008.

Our Bike Ride

After a short ride we made a well needed play
Stop for the Kids to display their enthusiasm and
courage as they overcame obstacles such as Gravity.
The Gravitational pull from earth is known as "Daddy".
Subsequently no animals were harmed in the
Filmography of this Exploration.



Here we are able to take a picture of a world trained athlete.
Eric Ray Shirley (AKA: The Beast) has stopped momentarily
to pose with Daddy.

Shirley KIDS just having fun

Just chillin' on a Sat. after gymnastics.

My tanta Janice made this shirt for me!! (thank YOU)

Eric's blocks he got for his 2nd b-day in Dec. from Grandma B. (thank You)
Just being Beautiful (like a princess) around the house!!! It's Grace's favorite thing!!
Gavin teething on an empty tylenol bottle... a favorite teether of his.

Notice the curls on his head. For once they aren't smooshed from sleeping on them or a hat!!! This was shortly after a bath.

Gavin enjoy himself hanging out. That's all for now. I need to get to bed. We hope you enjoyed out pics. I like sending them out. Have a wonderful day!!

Moose Mtn.!!

This is my SECOND time snowboarding!! He took me to Moose Mtn. Ski hill. I think i went down the hill only 3 times. We take a bus to the top. They have so many runs it was amazing. There was a sign posted at the top lodge that said, "If you think you might get lost just keep going down and you will find Base lodge and people, don't worry." We didn't see any moose that day but we did see moose tracks!!!

No!! That pic of my legs is not upside down!!! HA HA!!! 

Birch Ski Hill

This is me my FIRST time snowboarding!!! My husband treated me with our tax money becuase he said, "You NEVER treat yourself so I AM." After we bought it I had BIG smile on my face and then the butterflies set in my stomach. I did much better than I thought i would. Eric said the same. He was a VERY good teacher and very patient. 

birthday photos

Hey everyone!! I surprised my twin sister, Sarah, for our 30th birthday!! It was wonderful!! Eric took leave to stay home w/ Grace and lit'l Eric and I brought Gavin with me. We have been having lots of fun!! here are some pics. We also went to the Chattanooga Aquarium the next day. i have put a link to my brother-in-law's website. I hope you can see it too as he has some different pics.

I am working on putting Sarah into labor also. Her due date is the 22nd. We are trying to do LOTS of walking together. Please pray for her as labor is LABOR whenever it may happen!!!
Love to you all,
Amy
