Setting Sun over the Montgomery Sky

I think this sums it all up!

The Shakespeare Festival Pond

Here's the end of our museum visit. I think Trevor actually wanted to jump in a couple of times.

Kay & Undrea - Friends since 7th grade

More museum fun!

The museum is a great place for the kids to run around in the air conditioning. Did I mention it was FREE?!

A Trip to the Arts & Crafts Museum

The Alabama Shakespeare Festival houses not only theatrical events, but also provides an art museum with children's activities.

Fun in the Sun

Even though it was extremely hot, we managed to get out a little and have some fun. I think I lost 2 lbs after all the sweating.

"The Montgomery Biscuits Baseball Game"

Believe it or not, the city had a contest for naming the new baseball team and they chose "Biscuits". That's what I call being COUNTRY and proud of it!!

"The hotel pool"

The Montgomery Civil Rights Memorial

As you may know, Montgomery was instrumental in the Civil Rights Movement. We visited the Southern Poverty Law Center which not only continues to fight for equal rights of all people, but offers a tour that encompasses the years throughout the Civil Rights Movement. You go back in time via a movie and then you get to sign your name on the "Wall of Tolerance". I'll give it 5 stars!

"The circular fountain provides a timeline of important events in the Civil Rights Movement, beginning in 1954 with the Supreme Court decision to integrate American schools (Brown vs. the Board of Education) and ending with Dr. King's murder in 1968. It also records the names of 40 men, women, and children who lost their lives working for social justice." SPLC

Sweet Home Alabama

"The Riverfront"
Recently we all took a trip to my hometown. It was a lot of workgetting everyone ready for the trip and the airport was crazy. You should have been there. We won't talk about the 20 minutes of solid screaming Teagan did because she wanted out of her car seat. It was all worth it, and I shouldn't be getting homesick for at least another 6 months. :-)

GRANDE famiglia

This photo is the traditional Sloan Holiday photo. This may be the last year that everyone will actually fit in it.

High Society Meets Trailor Trash

Each year Aunt Doobie & Uncle Rich put on a shin dig for Halloween. Each year has a theme. This was the best yet.

One of these guys has been mistaken for Sasquatch. Can you find the right one?

Hey Brit! Where's K-Fed?

Nana

If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting my brood, here's the lady partially responsible for their behavior. She's a very loving and accomodating grandmother who spoils them rotten and then has the nerve to send them home. Thanks Nana!!

Double Trouble

I'm still in the preliminary stages of our blog. I've been enjoying the time looking over pictures I've recently taken. I have many many more to share with you, so if yours isn't on here today it will be.

Here are a few pictures to give you some idea of the twins in our family. I say that because they're so close in age and they're around each other a lot, not to mention they act like twins.

First, we have Tessa & Teagan.

Next, we have Tessa & Trevor

Finally, we have Trevor & Taylor. It's a volatile mix at times, but they're sooo cute.

Pony Rides

Recently our neighbors threw a birthday party for their 4 year old. They decided to have pony rides for the kids.

Trevor was not too crazy about the whole idea, but Tori & Teagan rode them several times up and down the street.

Me & Tori

The only picture of me & Tori after the graduation ceremony. Mom's out there, you know what I mean.

Kay's Folks

In case you didn't know, I really do have family. This is my mother Liz who will be 64 in November.










Here is a picture of my Aunt Linda and her daughter Kimberly. She just graduated from High School and will go on to become a famous WNBA player or an Astrophysicist. :-)

Day Trip to Idaho City

On this day, we went to a small town called Idaho City. Troy's parents were camping, so we paid them a little visit. The kids had a blast! We only had 3 ticks between us.

Voted Most Athletic

Tori has been really busy this Spring. She's taking piano lessons at her request and was selected by her team to play on the All Star Soccer team. She also tried out for Select Soccer and made the team for this upcoming Fall season. She's our little athlete.
