A Day of Fun-a-thon

So the Pinnacle boys won an incentive that allowed us to have one heck of a Fun day!
We decided to use the incentive money to go to Nashville Shores. This isn't the whole group.

They had a nice beach there as well as a wave pool that we got beat up on. Those things are exhausting!
This slide was a HIT! We spent lots of time on that!

Then we went to a Titans vs. Cardinals pre-season game. Caleb was in heaven!
Yes we made homemade shirts...don't make fun.

We spent the first quarter on the front row until the wonderful seasoners came then we were booted to our seats clear at the top.
Watchin the Cardinals warm-up
Bo Bice sang the national anthem.

Beautiful sight of the Nashville skyline.
Caleb had started the day with a round of golf with the boys and we ended it with a nice meal at buffalos. We were exhausted by the end of the day! Thanks Pinnacle for the day of Fun-a-thon!

Chattanooga whatta?

A couple of weekends ago the guys went to go sell in Chattanooga, so I decided to go as well.

Callie and I spent our time Shopping...found the Cutest store called Charming Charlie. They haven't made their way to the west coast yet but I suggested that they do so. BUT they can leave these bags behind cause wooooooEEEE they are UG.
Chattanooga is famous for their 3 attractions, Ruby Falls being one of them. It is America's highest underground waterfall located in lookout mountain discovered years ago by some dude who named it after his wife Ruby...cute.
They take you on an hour long tour through the cave. You start off on a elevator that takes you 260 ft below the ground. This guy crawled and dug through this cave (talk about claustrophobic) They showed us where he finally was able to stand up. His wife even did this with him!



We finally got what we went there for. It was beautiful! They had a little light show with music.

They also let you walk behind it and the tour lady said, "look up and it will look like you are being showered with diamonds" haha i know cheesy.
I've never seen anything like it.
We were going to go to Rock City, but it was blazin' and you had to hike a mile so we took the cooler route, but this is rock city from the road. It looks pretty sweet, from the top you are supposed to be able to see 7 states. (Guess you gotta see it to believe it)
So if you ever go to Tennessee or Georgia....hit up Chattanooga, lots of cool history there.

Cabin Week 2010


I have been dreading blogging about the cabin for 2 reasons:
1-words and pictures can't describe the week and I have WAY too many pics.
2- I am still depressed that I am not there right now.
BUT none the less I will do my best!

The days were spent on the water full-time: skiing, laying out, dock dancing, card games, etc.
I am attached to this little girl. I was surprised that she remembered me. I loved the "mommy feel" having someone love you and always want you to hold them. I don't think I could ever get sick of that.

As hard as it is to be away from home, it is fun to be missed. At one point I layed down on my bed and I had 10 little heads above me all saying Kelsi Kelsi guess what!? So cuuuute.
We also took family pics while we were up there:this was a joke btw. Have you ever taken a family pic with 18 kids?? It's....interesting




Every night we stayed up to the wee hours playing "crap on your neighbor" an addictive card game everyone needs to learn. To make it more fun we make consequences for the losers: for example; walking the "rocky road" in the bare feet, eating 3 cupcakes, serving the winners with ice cream and chips and cheese, riding around the island on the 4-wheeler in the pitch dark, and jumping in the lake at 2 am. Might I add I won almost every game! :)
Brett and Misty put on "Minute to win it" It was a hit!


This was my group for the legendary "video scavenger hunt" put on by the tanners. Our group won most entertaining....but I don't know that you would want to see the videos. You may view our family VERY differently! But is was OH so fun and OH so funny! It is amazing what you will do on video in front of only your family.
The rest of the week consumed of Family Fued, an ultimate birthday party, delicious meals, camp fires, spiritual thoughts, the "HOT seat", lots of laughter, and the filming of our JUMP music video.
If you haven't seen the Kesler music video..please feel free to check it out below.
You'd think going to Island park year after year would get old...but it only gets better and better with age! Can't wait for next year!

Drive-Ins

Whoever started them was Brilliant!
Caleb and I want to own one now.
(Cabe and little Addi)
Matt & Elise
This is Wyatt's "Twilight" face?

Eclipse AND The Grown-Ups in 1 night
Only 7 dollars!!

Don't judge the van, it did us good until it died right in the middle of Edward and Bella's conversation! :) I'm really not a big Twilight fan but it's fun to pretend.

SuperSweet 4th Weekend

Nashville doesn't mess around when it comes the 4th of July. They had a free concert every night starting on Friday down by the river. First up was Chuck Wicks: Didn't know who he was at first but now i'm a fan!


Saturday night was Julianne Hough! I loved watching her on Dancing with the Stars. I know her cousin so Ashlie and I went up and introduced ourselves to her family. They were super nice!
They had fireworks after each one of the concerts.
Sunday after church we had a office BBQ at a nice park. Here the boys are playing calebs "Kick game."




We headed down town again to catch the final concert: Trace Atkins with some others. It was legit! The place was PACKED but some of our friends lucked out and found us a spot where people decided to leave.

Yes I made caleb wear the old navy shirt....hilarious.
The firework show was the best that I have ever seen! They definitely outdid Disney.
We had a perfect 4th of JULY!
