The Life of a Tourist (with kids)


We had a fun little excursion this week with our friends Helina and Bennett. On Wednesday we went to The Brooks Art Museum where they had an Andy Warhol exhibit that was really cool. The kids totally dug the Art Museum. Ha ha! (Note to self: Emily has not developed an appreciation for art museums yet, but she will.)
We then dragged the kids to an Art Exhibit at the University of Memphis and it turned out to be closed for the summer, much to Emily's dismay. So we dragged them back to the car, but at least we got to see more of Memphis with our little sidetrip.

Next we went to downtown Memphis and rode the trolley through the center of town and down to Beale Street. We ate at Hard Rock Cafe where Emily and Bennett had a hard time eating because they wanted to just dance to the music. On our way back to the trolley we stopped to listen to a live band playing some Blues Music.

All of us at Hard Rock Cafe

Emily and Bennett's favorite part of our trip was probably the water fountains they ran through at the end. Emily was splashing and going crazy while Bennett just stood and watched her. Each time she splashed him his eyes got really big, but he wouldn't move. He's so cute!

Meet Izzy

Isabel Marie DeHart made her debut into the world on Saturday April 18, 2009 at 6:08 pm She weighed 7 lbs. 14 oz. and was 20 in. long We are in love with her curly blond hair Aaron is in love with his new little girl. I hardly changed any diapers in the hospital and unless I was feeding her I had to fight him to hold her. He claims I got to hold her for the last 9 months, it's hardly the sa me. Our family of four I DID IT! I had set a goal for myself to deliver naturally with this baby (I had an epidural with em and don't get me wrong I loved it.) Aaron and I took classes to learn relaxation techniques and how the body works through the delivery process. We learned a lot. I had been having some serious labor pains for the past several weeks and thought because of this I probably wouldn't realize when it was time for the real thing. I had hair appointments scheduled all day Saturday and was doing my last one (thank heavens it was my mom) when my water broke. She stil...

6 Week Flu

SYMPTONS: FREQUENT VOMITING, EXCESSIVE FATIGUE, NAUSEA, LACK OF MOTIVATION SIDE EFFECTS: HOUSE TURNS INTO A PIG PEN, FAMILY MEMBERS WEAR DIRTY UNDERWEAR FOR SEVERAL DAYS, MEMBERS OF YOUR FAMILY ARE ACCUSED OF HAVING EATING DISORDERS FROM MALNUTRITION, YOUR BED & COUCH HAVE A PERMANENT INDENT, AND THE CARPET FROM HERE TO THE BATHROOM HAVE A WELL WORN PATH, PEOPLE THINK YOU HAVE FALLEN OFF THE FACE OF THE EARTH My friend recently told me there's a chance she "might" be pregnant. When I asked what might meant, she told me it could just be the flu. I laughed at her until I started experiencing the same symptoms. Even after a positive pregnancy test I worried that it might be all in my head. Thank heavens for a trip to the doctor, he confirmed that: WE ARE HAVING BABY NUMBER 2 !!!!!! I apologize to any of you who have asked recently when we are having more kids or why I am sick, and I didn't give you a straight answer . . . well now you know!
