Dahlonega

We went to Dahlonega to celebrate the wedding of my cousin Megan. We had a great time and Reese danced all night long! She literally danced the moment the dance floor opened until the end.

Getting ready to leave for the wedding. She loved her sparkle wedding shoes. Megan told Reese that she loved her shoes. Reese told her that when she got younger she could get some too! If only it worked that way...

Andrea (Megan's mom) waiting at the top of the aisle with Zack and Evan (Megan's brothers). When Megan and her dad got to them they all walked down as a family.

Ryan and John
The next day we made a side trip to Cleveland, GA to go to Babyland General. This is where The Cabbage Patch Kids started. They are moving to a new facility soon, so I'm glad we got to visit there before they moved. I went here as a child.

Reese picked out a doll and named him "Travis". Why she picked that name I have no idea.

Bachelorette Fun!!

After a fun filled mother-daughter weekend I headed to Savannah to celebrate the upcoming wedding of Fran and Allan. It was her bachelorette weekend. I won't show all the pictures because what happens in Savannah stays in Savannah :-).

We stayed in the cutest house in the historic district. The master bedroom had a beach feel.

The towels were all tied up with ribbons
A nice big bathroom for us to get ready in
Getting ready for our first big night out!
All together Thursday night for dinner at a seafood restaurant
Fran was very proud of the meat she got out of her crab leg
After dinner we headed out for a haunted pub crawl.

Girls' Trip to Florida!!

My friend Misty was very gracious and allowed Reese and I, along with some Julia, Darbi, and Christine, to spend Labor Day weekend with her. We left very early Friday morning and made the long drive to the Florida coast. Friday night we ate at a very yummy burrito stand and headed to the beach to take some pictures. The bad thing is that a major storm was coming. It was also my first "real" attempt to get some shots of Reese on the beach. The quality of my pictures isn't good, but it was a real learning experience for me! You'll notice that most of my pictures are of Reese's back.





One of my favorite shots



Reese so upset with me, but I can't remember why...It was just any old day!


Crying with some storm clouds behind her


The incoming storm!!!

Such a Reese look!













She looked!

This wasn't even 30 mins later. She was filthy!



We went on Saturday to the Magic Kingdom. Julia pulled a tendon or something in her foot so she had to sit in a wheelchair. That is the way to go because we got to the front of the line! I lugged my camera around with me all day and this is the only picture I took! Ugh! I'm glad I got something!

Sunday we went to the local zoo. It was great because the exhibits were so hands on.

Misty's son Spencer. Such a handsome little guy!

Beautiful Bella! You can't see her face, but trust me she is!




Reese was practicing her swimming and she wasn't expecting Darbi to swim over her!
We had such an amazing (and exhausting) time. Thanks so much Misty for having us!
