July 4th Vacation

We've been in Knoxville since last Tuesday and had lots going on. Went to the mountains and lake, hung out with friends and family and had a great time. Enjoy the pics.

Dozer's 1st trip to the mountains, he loved playing with rocks in the water.
It was also Bella's 1st trip


Bella was asleep before we pulled out

Dozer swimming, which he is not so great at
Chelsey and Jade made it to the rock in the middle

I went to the lake on Friday to see Carrie who was in from Ohio
I celebrated Travis and Hayley's engagement!

Her beautiful ring that they had designed just for her

Saturday was Bella's 1st Birthday. They had a party for her up at the lake and tons of people came to celebrate. She was an adorable birthday girl and the party was so fun. Afterwards we went out on the boats to watch fireworks. Happy 1st Birthday sweet Bella.
Josh and I bought this little car and put all of the fabric on it, we wanted to do something unique for her. It has jewels on it and is lined with fur. We could not believe the reaction we got out of it. We already have 2 new orders. Most importantly Bella loved it and we won the "best gift award". Josh and I had so much fun making it for her and we so excited that she LOVED it so much!
She knew what to do right away and wanted to get in it
Look how happy she is!!!! Priceless!

Well as you can see we were busy but so excited to see everyone and celebrate exciting life moments! Hope you had a great 4th of July!

How fun! Bella is precious! I just LOVE first birthdays! You did a GREAT job on her car. We have a car, but it isn't as pretty as hers, so hopefully you can come for a visit and help us deck hers out!!
