Mimi & Papa Visit: Part 2

I just love the time when we are all together! Our days are pretty simple, planned around nap time and a feeding schedule, but we are trying to just enjoy these simple days.

Saturday morning pancakes! This was a tradition when I was growing up and I was craving them!

Of course the little Bear fell asleep during all of the activity.

So good!

More pool time.

What else can you do when its 100 out?

Dance party time.

Play time.

Realizing how spoiled with attention the first child really is! I mean he is like the center of the household!

Sunday morning breakfast time. Eggs.

Wanting something he can't have.

Mimi is Jacks jungle gym.

Brian and Gina came over for dinner and Dad was so excited to give Luke a bottle!

We had Margarita's and the boys had teething biscuits.

Up early Monday morning. Jack is attached to his Papa.

And the guys are off to the airport:(

We had such an amazing trip with my parents, and lucky for me they left my mom here so I get her until Wednesday:) Thank you so much for coming down here even during this excessive heat!!!! Life's complete when you are here with the 3.5 of us!

We love you so much!!!!!!

Mimi & PaPa Visit Part 1

Mom and Dad got here Thursday at 5...I was SOOO excited!!! So was Jack and Dutch:) Mike picked them up at the airport and the 3 of us got the house all ready for a belated birthday celebration.

Here they are reunited! Jack was excited to show off in his walker and to show them how he can inhale puffs.

Birthday Girl!

She liked her presents but I think Mimi was most excited about her Jack.

Loved the paper. Christmas will be fun! After dinner we headed to the minor league baseball game down the street. Thank you Gina for the tickets! Jack loves baseball games!

Not at the age yet where he willingly poses for pictures. Ha.

We have an armadillo in our backyard, so I had to get this picture! I don't think ours is so cute though.

Of course he couldn't make the entire 9 innings! Ohh I love sleeping babies...

FRIDAY: Mike went to work. Dad ran, we walked. Then we headed to the pool. After lunch we played with Jack then Mom and I went for a mani/pedi. Then more pool time!! Then dinner at Bottega Cafe, it was so yummy!

Playing rough with Papa. A favorite.

Dutch is patiently waiting for his time.

Cheers!!

Who is having more fun???

They did this for like an hour! Jack loves the fountains!!

Awesome dinner!

Ahh the Alabama heat wore these two out!

Georgia Peaches Have Nothing on Alabama Peaches...

On Tuesday Gina and I headed down to Clanton Alabama in Chilton County (the peach capital of Alabama) to visit the "Peach Park"! The building is nothing fancy but the ice cream was to DIE FOR! Honestly one of the tastiest things in my life. After ice cream we bought some fresh farm produce and made the boys take some touristy pictures. Hmm...wonder what our field trip next week will be?

Georgia peaches have nothing on Alabama peaches!

Happy Birthday Mom!!!!

I can only think of one other year I wasn't with you on your birthday! This has been very weird for me...but knowing that we are going to celebrate in just 2 days makes missing out on all the fun today a LOT easier! I don't even know where to begin. You are such a blessing to my life. To Jack's life. And to Mike. You have made life easier and shown each of us unconditional love. As a mother and wife I have no clue how I am going to live up to your standards! The perfect house, fabulous cook, and most loving supportive mom there is! I thank you and thank God that we were given YOU! May you have the most amazing year of your life yet! You still work SO HARD...relax a little this year! ENJOY:)
We love you!!!!
