Joe's 75th Brithday!

This Valentine's Day wasn't just a day of commercial love, it's also Papa Joe's 75th birthday! So, of course, we had to celebrate!

Joe and his girls.

With the one who thinks she's the favorite

With the real favorite. ;)

With the grandkids- one more to come this summer!

Just the Delks. One more this summer!

I hope you enjoyed your day, Papa Joe! We love you!

This past week, Chattanooga was the host of the Delk/ Davis/ Bradley family vacation! I didn't get a lot of pictures, I'm waiting for Jenny to share, but I got enough to show that everyone had a good time!

Tuesday night- Lookouts game
The Delks, Aunt Boo, and Aunt Dee got to the game early so the kids could get some autographs.

After the first inning Aunt Boo got a game ball from one of the Mississippi Braves' players. I didn't get a picture, but that sure was sweet of the guy! (It really wasn't sweet at all, the guy was obviously flirting and Joanna never gave the guy a second look.)

Since this was also to be Joanna's birthday trip, Joe and I made sure that her birthday was announced on the big screen during the 7th inning stretch. It was a great surprise, especially when the announcer told everyone that Joanna is "young, cute, and single"!

After the game, Boo and Dee took Abby to the hotel with them to have a girl's night. Aunt Jenny was nice enough to let Abby borrow some night clothes. Julia got to join in the fun and it was giggly girls all. night. long. Thanks Boo and Dee!

Wednesday we swam in the morning and had a lazy day around the hotel. The Delks went home for nap time, but came back and stayed the night in the hotel Wed night. We had pizza for dinner at the hotel and then walked around downtown for a little while.

Thursday- Tennessee Aquarium.
Again, waiting on Jenny for pictures. We toured both buildings- the river and the ocean. The kids had a great time seeing all the fish. The aquarium had areas where you could touch some of the fish and the kids freaked out they were so happy. The highlights of the trip were the sharks, the penguins, the butterflies, and the divers (who were cleaning the tanks).

Thursday night we had Joanna's birthday dinner at the house. We had our family along with Melissa, John, and their twins come over for BBQ and cookie cake. I need Joanna to send me a pic of the cake since it was decorated to her specifications. It had Hello Kitty on it. (When Joe went to order it, the lady asked if it was for a little girl. Joe told her the little girl was 28 years old.)

Friday- Creative Discovery Museum.
I got pictures! We started with the dinosaur exhibit. The kids got to pretend to be archaeologists. Really it was an excuse to play in a sand pit.

The first thing Andy did when we got to the sand was say, "Hey Mommy, can I do this?" And then he dumped a shovel full of sand on his head. I told him, "Well, it's not like I can stop you now."

Prettiest archaeologist at the museum

Of course they had a dress up corner

Isaac liked looking at things through the microscope

Moving on to the art section.

This was one of Abby's favorite stations. The girls loves to draw.

Next were the music rooms. The Delks had a blast!

I had to pry the kids out of the music section. We moved on to the doctor's office.

Aunt Boo found herself a man. The Braves player was cuter.

Doctor Julia told Boo that she had "Yucky-itis".

We went upstairs to the roof exhibit of simple machines. I didn't get any pictures but it was a pretty day to be outside. While we were outside, we ran into some friends of ours from daycare- one of the other Abbys. My little Abby was excited to see a friend.

For lunch we went to City Cafe downtown- home of the prettiest desserts you'll ever see!

This is just one of their display cases!

We all had a great time! The only thing that could have made it better would be having Grammy Pat and Papa Joe with us. The Delks will just have to come to M'boro to get our Grammy and Papa fix!

Thanks for coming to Chattanooga everyone! We will have to do this again sometime!

Tea Party with Grammy Pat

Abby, Andy and I were in Murfreesboro recently visiting Grammy Pat and Papa Joe. Isaac was with Daddy- I forget what they were up to.
Anyhow, Grammy Pat had a nice surprise for us when we arrived... a tea party! Complete with fancy sandwiches, carrots and dip, and milky tea! (chi)

Thank you, Grammy Pat for the treat! You know we'll have to do this again!

Happy Birthday, Pa Joe!

It's just not a party without the Delks! The sad thing is we didn't actually get to stay for the party, but we did get to see everyone and play.
Since I had a half day yesterday and I get Monday off, we Delks decided to take a trip up to M'boro to see our favorite Pa Joe and wish him a happy birthday.

Abby found an old frog umbrella of Aunt Boo's.

The boys all found forms of entertainment.

We stayed the night in the 'boro and this morning we split. Abby and I visited Gommy Petty with Grammy Pat, while the boys went with Aunt Boo to see Josh-e-wash and Julia. We all found ourselves at Aunt Jenny's house for lunch and nap time.
The Bradley Girls (Jenny, Me, Joanna) played beauty shop and did our nails and gossiped. Jason hid in the basement and Pa Joe went for a walk. (They were more than welcome upstairs, I don't know why they chose not to socialize.)
;)

After nap time it was let's-see-how-loud-we-can-play time. I hate to brag, but I'm pretty sure my kids won.

So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PA JOE! I'm glad we got to celebrate with you! Thank you Grammy and Papa for having us over, and thank you Aunt Jenny and Uncle Jason for letting us come over to play!

Gramby Weekend

The weekend that began my fall break was exciting for everyone in the Delk household.

Andy got to spend the weekend with Grammy and Papa Delk. Fun was had by all! Andy loved being the center of attention! Apparently, he also loved being a song leader. :)

Abby got the spend the weekend with Aunt Boo, and Grammy and Papa Joe. Abby was in her element. She got to go shopping, be a Princess, and showed Aunt Boo what it's like living with a younger version of herself. My favorite part of this weekend was when Aunt Boo told me, "Now I understand."

Isaac got to come with Daddy and Mommy to Gramby weekend. Gramby weekend is a time when our Sunday school group gets together and invades Sharron's grandmother's house to play with guns and explosives. (fireworks)

Isaac did a great job of telling everyone the safety rules. When the range is hot, put on your eyes and ears!

A little video of our little marksman. (Just for you, Grammy Pat!)

I am proud to say that when it was my turn to shoot (for the first time in my life) I shot the target on the first try!-- the target was an empty detergent bottle. I stopped after that since I had proven my worth.

This little one made my weekend. She loved all the action and noise! (And the attention!)

I'm sorry I didn't get a lot of pictures. We'll have to do this again next year!

Happy birthday, Princess Julia!

This past weekend the Delks packed up the family car are drove to Nashville to go see their favorite Princess Julia. (We only know one!)

Aunt Jenny along with Julia's grandmommy (Jason's mom, not sure what they call her) created a Princess party like none other! Needless to say, the little girls (and boys) had the best time. (And this big girl enjoyed herself too!)
