What's Been Going on Lately....

We have had alot going on lately!! Over the fall break we took a beach trip with my friend Amanda and her kiddos. Brandon took off to keep Campbell, which made it alot easier on me. We had a fun time and the kids really enjoyed playing with each other. And, thanks to Allie (AKA little momma) Abby was more than occupied!

We also went to the scarecrow trail at the Botanical Gardens the weekend before. We bought an annual pass this year and really enjoy visiting.

Happy 5th Birthday Abby.....

Abby's Birthday is today, but we had her party on Saturday at Onyx. Despite her having a bit of a cold and losing her voice Friday night, she had a great time at her party.

Happy Birthday Campbell

Campbell turned 1 last Thursday and we had a small party for her on Sunday. She had so much fun with her cake and got some cool new toys!!

My Sweet Baby....Sometimes

AWWW......This was a picture I snapped of Campbell this morning sleeping. She looked so sweet and innocent....AND THEN SHE WOKE UP!

Ready for School!

Today was Abby's first day back to school. Both she and I were very excited. Her teacher this year is Mrs. Amber. I play bunco with Amber and she is such a sweet person. We were so glad to hear that Abby was going to be in her class.

My silly child!!

The other night Abby came in the office while I was on the computer with this on......long sleeve pajamas and socks with valentine hearts on them! For the sake of arguing I just shook my head and snapped a picture.

A fun week with the kids

Last week Brandon took off and we did some fun stuff with the kids. At the last minute we decided to take a trip to Gatlinburg over the 4th of July weekend. It was a fun trip but we will never go back during a holiday. It took us 7 hours to get there and we fought traffic all weekend...not fun when you have 2 kids in the back seat!! After we got back, we went to the botanical gardens for the 2nd time this year. This time Abby wore her bathing suit so she could get wet. On Friday, Abby and I went to see Toy Story 3.....soooo cute! And, on Saturday afternoon we took Abby to the kiddie carnival in Athens. This week it will be back to cleaning, cooking (which I did none of last week), lots of laundry and taking care of the kiddos on my own. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted!

Abby liked the aquarium but all she wanted to do was buy something at

the gift shop!

Abby was really tired at the kiddie carnival. We had been at the pool

all day!
