Young Harris Trick or Treating on Thursday Night

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

Visit with the Henley family! Fun...Fun...Fun....

The Henley family came to visit us this August. We had so much fun. We went on a hike. The kids enjoyed it so much.

This is their youngest boy (the third child), his name is Joshua.

He is a mess! This boy constantly talks....repeating exerpts out of movies...Keeps you in stitches laughing the whole time...

This is their first born, his name is Jordan. He is the sweet, quite reader in the family. I hardly saw this child without a book in his hand.

He's a joy to have around.

This is little Miss Sophia....and you can't tell that in a few minutes of being around her...you just want to eat her up. Well, this started a love for babies in Lily....she is still talking about wanting a "Lil' Sophia" to join our family. I just keep telling her to pray to God. (he's going to have to change Daddy's heart.) :-)

Needless to say, its been 2 months and we are still praying!!!

Here is Lily....we are getting ready for our hike.


Here's ole' cutie boy! Mr. Lucas is ready to go!

The gang ready to go...let's make sure we read ALL the signs....

This is an adorable picture to me:

This is the beginning of the trail. They could hear the waterfalls, see way down below, and hear people. Too bad that Sophia was too small to get in there too. Isn't that so sweet?

Poor Lily though, the only little girl.....

Daddy and his little girl walk just alike. No lie, they both walk on their tippy-toes! I love this picture.

Daddy helping Lucas go pee-pee....I missed the stream on the other side....Lucas doesn't care where he's at....he LOVES to go pee outside!

Daddy is the one that potty trained Lucas....and it was outside. When Danny was home, he was working outside with his tools...and of course, Lucas always wanted to be with him outside....so he would get excited to pee outside...well, it started a new love....and it still continues! Sorry if you come in our path.....

Lily checking out one of the landings.

BEAUTIFUL....BREATHTAKING....ONLY GOD COULD DO THIS!

Awwww....how sweet....my little lover.....and he looks like a Mountain Man....Wow!!

Daddy doing his explaining. He is so good about explaining things to the kids. I hope that they remember this trait about their daddy. He's such a good one.

WE love you, Daddy!

The Men!!

A few moments later, they were both stung by attacking Bees.....the kids still talk about it.

Danny down in the water. It was freezing....I don't know how he was doing it! BUt he said it felt good....the power of the water hitting his back.

Lucas and Lily had watched as all the boys were down in the water. It was just VERY scary to get down there. The girls couldn't do it. There was another group of people there that brought all of the bungy cords. They came prepared! So since they had them all tied up, the boys took advantage of it. They were very nice to allow us to use it. Here is where DAnny was helping Lucas get down to the water. I was so scared!!! It took several men to get the kids down there. Tracy and I were up praying!

This is Jackson, their 2nd born, he was so cold from being in the water, that he layed out on the big rock that had been heated up by the sun....pretty smart!!

Lucas doesn't look very happy. It's because he just felt the water and realized that it is freezing~~

Doesn't he look like "King of the mountain"....I thought this was a good pic.

He was so funny looking down there.

This is Jackson...he was scaring me so bad! He was standing on a huge rock...but if he was to step backwards...he could fall way down....I paniced....yelled at Tracy...and she yelled at Jackson....but in the meantime, I took a good picture.

Little Miss Sophia...always happy as can be.....

Mr. Lucas collecting rocks so we can paint them....

Chad and Sophia....

Lily watching from up above....they had thrown some rocks up....she was checking them out...and putting them in her pockets.

Chad, Tracy and Sophia walking back....ahhhhh.....

Tracy and Joshua.....

Daddy and Lily waiting in front of us....waiting patiently for us to come....

By the time we were almost back to the car, notice that Lucas is now dragging his stick.....not using it as a walking stick anymore.....too cute....

Danny and Holly for a quick pic afterwards....

Lucas and Lily getting silly..... gorgeous background!!

Lucas Preston Mejia.....3 years old....

I LOVE THIS PICTURE!!!!

Then we went to the river afterwards so that The Henley family could collect some rocks.

Lucas having fun throwing rocks in the water...

Daddy, Lucas and Lily walking in the Hiawassee River....this wasn't our watermelon, but it was tempting....it was all nice and cold....ymmmm.....

Lily showing me one of the rocks that she found...

It was a keeper....

Jackson.....he's the very quiet one....what a good picture....

Okay....this is a good and bad picture....Awesome shot of Tracy taking pics of Sophia....but did you see what Sophia has in her hand? Yuck!!! She was teathing on a rock from the river.

Mommy and daughter....I'm so happy that they finally had a little girl....Thank you God for having favor.

Here's Jordan reading again.....but I thought this was an awesome picture....

Here's Jackson meditating....not really....but it was cute....

Lily and Sophia.....girls....girls.....girls.....

More pics from the waterfall...Here is Chad and Jordan....

Joshua down at the waterfall....

King of the mountain again....He's so handsome!!!

This was a fun day....the weather was gorgeous.

July 21, 2009~ Fair time!

It's the Fair time!! Riley and Peyton are still here to enjoy it.

Here we are getting ready to go in.

Riley and Peyton.....peace....

Grandma and the girls....

Lucas riding the rides.....

Danny riding the slide with the kids....

At first Lily was scared, but after Lucas did it one time she thought she would try it.

Lily standing in front of the mirror to make her look shorter
The kids went into the house that had the window maze and these weird mirrors, they loved it!

Lily and Lucas enjoy riding most of the same rides at this point...thankfully. They love the rides...each year keeps getting better.

They met up with Anna Claire (one of Lucas's friends from church) and they had a blast together. She's so sweet and cute!

Lucas riding the merry~go~round....He thought it was too high sitting up on the horse, but he did it.

Peyton and Lily....

Peyton wants to act big most of the time....but deep down she's still so young...and enjoys being a kid too. She hung with Lily and Lucas for a little while and they loved it!

After finally doing it the first time, she loved it! She wanted to do it over and over again.

I think Daddy enjoyed it too....can't tell you how many times they rode this...Lucas loved it!

Okay.....well, let's just say...we live in North Georgia!!! I got a big kick out of this...

This is an actual dumster in the fairgrounds here in Hiawassee. Read it.....it's hilarious!!!

Every year I get a picture of my kids in front of the water wheel....so here's this years....

There was a husband and wife team this year that used chainsaws to make cut outs of different animals....here the man was making a bear. It's amazing to sit and watch them do it. They are very talented. Up here in the mountains, this is considered education....this counted for day of teaching..:-)......ha...ha...ha...

We enjoy the fair every year....it's a big part of living in Hiawassee....this year we saw a few concerts, but can't remember their names right now....they usually make it big about a year or two later....Lily and I really enjoy the music part of it. I hope that we are making great memories for the kids each year.
