The Cove

While my in-laws were in town we went to this beautiful place in the Great Smokey Mountains called Cades Cove!  It is so great!  We love all the beautiful things you see and the company could not have been better.  Here are a few pictures!

This first picture is of some dear we saw in a beautiful field

 The kids with Grandpa!

 This is Bensons pose for almost every picture!  Thumbs up dude

 Grandma and Grandpa!  While Grandma was wearing this shirt some folks from Kentucky asked if she was a Jimmer Fan! 

 Adilynn had so much fun.

 These two were the best of buddies!

 The view

Sonshine

We were so lucky to have Doug's parents come in for the weekend to visit and see Brielle's Sonshine musical theater show!  It was so fun to have them here, even though the life around the Rose home is crazy, I hope they had a good time!  Thanks Guys for coming, we LOVE having you here.

We did a lot of running back and forth to and from Brielle's show.  She had performances all weekend, and she did such a great job!  Thanks to all the friends that came, it really meant a lot to her.  Here are the pictures from the performance and also a video of her SOLO!  You cant hear it very well, but she did a great job.  We were so proud of her, she was not even nervous!  The people that put on this program are amazing.  We are so grateful Brielle was able to be a part of it!

 This is Brielle and her friend Addi she met through this!  They love each other!

 Daddy and the star!

 Grandpa and Brielle

 These are our friends the Matsons that were in the show as well.  We love these kids!

Life according to Benson

Benson was sitting on the couch yesterday and said, "Mom, I only really like people that understand me.  (Not the way he speaks, but the emotional understanding.)  I then replied, Well, who really understands you?  He said, "Holly, (a little friend of his)  Holly really understands me.

I was seriously cracking up for about ten minutes!  He was up to some serious thinking.
