Looking Back: Gatlinburg

Okay, so this trip wasn't exotic, but there is nothing like the beautiful leaves in the fall in Tennessee. I spent many summers at camp in Monterrey, TN, and have nothing but fond memories of the beautiful outdoors this state offers :)

Looking Back: Paris

Another place I loved getting to visit....the city of Love, PARIS. Though only a brief visit, I really enjoyed Paris, again such exquisite architecture and beautiful surroundings! The food, the museums, the shopping, all wonderful!

Looking Back: London

I thought this week I'd do a few post of past vacations, and some of the beautiful pictures I've captured. Today is London. I never realized how much I would enjoy London and all of the history contained there. By far, my favorite destination thus far ♥

The gardens there were so exquisite. This was in front of Buckingham Palace, on our way to seethe changing of the guard - a must see if you ever visit London

I love that the crosswalks have directions, lol

My mom, before we visited the White Tower

Such Stunning Architecture! Westminster Abbey

Such a gorgeous window!

Big Ben, of course :)

Ring, ring...hubby, can you hold down the house and kids for another week, so I can stay longer in London, puh-lease!!! lol :)

Christmas in Montana

One of my all-time favorite places is Montana. When we were kids, my dad moved to and bought a house in Bozeman. While he only ended up living there for a few years, my Grandfather has kept the house, and it is such a beautiful place with so many wonderful memories. We used to go back-packing in the summers, and make toboggan runs in the backyard in the fresh powder and go skiing in the winters at Bridger Bowl. Though Brett and I haven't been in almost 8 years, I can't wait to make another trip out there. It truly is "God's County." Such untouched beauty, and amazing landscapes!

The house sits on the side of a mountain, leading back to a Highlight National Park, such a gorgeous place to visit!

Look at all the snow!!! ♥♥♥ Definately won't be seeing any of that in Florida!

Can't wait to take the kids and teach them how to ski :)

Love me some skiing in fresh powder!

Sorry for the grainy pictures, it's amazing how we survived before digital photos :)

The whole Fam,

my little brother, me, hubby, step-mom and dad

We look so young!

Brett's very first run! We quickly advanced him and took him on Black diamonds by the second day, he was a very good sport ♥

Cheer Madness

Well our girls did great in Kissimmee. We took home 2nd Place in the FCC State Finals for the 2nd grade and under group. It was a little stressful just before our performance, and I was pretty sure it was gonna be a disaster, but as soon as our little rah-rahs hit the mats, their a-game switched on, and they did a fantastic job!

It's gonna be a a Rah-Rah weekend

Deja Vu....we're off to another cheerleading competition....Actually at this moment, we are surprising the kiddos with a day at Disneyworld. Since we had to drive all the way to Kissimmee for Baylor's cheer competition tomorrow, we figured we'd drive down Thursday night, and give them an awesome surprise today. Can't wait to show you pics. Here's some pics from our cheer competition two weeks ago...Go Mariners :)

We're the Marcus Pointe Mariners.....
