Smoky Mountain Memories Part 3

Let’s wrap this thing up! 

(If you missed Part 1 or Part 2 of our Smoky Mountain Memories, feel free to catch up!)

Our last day in the mountains was my personal favorite. 

I mean what’s not to love about a first Trolley Ride?

    Hello Jen =) love your pictures. Always!=) Anyway I wanted to let you know I thought I had an email from you but it was a junk email lol. But in the subject line it said from you and it was your email address. I just thought I’d let you know…have a great day, Jen!

    Jen~
    Looks like you had a fun and relaxing trip with all your boys! I have been reading your blog for quite awhile, don’t have one of my own but love getting tips from all the wonderful moms out there, including you of course! Just wondering, and I’m sure you’ve answered this question before, but what do you use for your picture editing? I’m always curious what other busy moms use out there.

    1. QuatroMama says:

      Courtney – The goal is to take a good picture and not have to edit it! But I use both Picnik and Picassa for editing and for the watermark feature! Free is always good! =) Thanks for your sweet comment!

      Barbara – Thanks so much, and she’s recovering well. Just waiting for some more test results and the treatment plan. Hugs to you and your fam!

    I LOVE the pic with Mommy, Daddy and boys on the bridge together.

    1. QuatroMama says:

      It’s one of my favs too, Kori. (Minus my sweaty head =) )

    I’m amazed at these new pictures! Looking at their faces, the boys have really become little boys and definitely not babies/toddlers anymore! It just struck me this time around how grown up they’re becoming! Great pics and it looks like you had an amazing trip!

  8. Gail says:

    Great pictures!! Looks like you all had perfect weather. The boys are getting so big…soon, they won’t be able to fit on your laps for family portraits! Enjoy these family times. Thank you for sharing. Praying for strength for your mil.
