One of our visits to Nanny.  She loved seeing Reese and the babies.

Sweet Avery and Reese

Christine and Colleen came to Atlanta to visit because Nanny isn't doing well.  We took that opportunity to snap a few pictures of the kiddos.  Rowie was sound asleep in the car so we didn't get any of her. :-(

How cute is he????

Gulf Shores

Every year we try out a new vacation spot and this year we went to Gulf Shores, AL.  I would say over all that I liked the resort it was just a little far from everything.  It was a nice week to just chill out and spend time with family and not worry about working.  I was very excited to see how Rowan would react to the beach.
She's not quite sure how she feels about it all...

Yep, no likey!

Reese immediately ran off with Ryan to play in the waves.  I'm glad she has Ryan because that is so NOT my thing!

My cutie chunky girl!

She was OK sitting in the sand...

I made an attempt to do some pictures on the beach but it was the WRONG time of day.  Oh well!

Rowan was feeling left out so she decided to pinch her own cheek

We went to the outlet mall one day and I ended up hanging in the food court because it was just so hot outside.  Rowan took my pickle and she wouldn't let me have it back!


Super cute video of her and the pickle

Memorial Day Weekend

Before I tell you about our trip to NC for Memorial Day, I have a confession to make.  I am kind of embarrassed to even admit this....I now drive a mini van!  I never EVER thought I would drive a mini van.  I always swore that I would be an SUV driving momma.  That all went down the tubes when Rowan came along and now I have 5 year old stuff a long with baby stuff!  You would think my Pilot would be big enough.  I did get a pretty sweet Honda Odyssey Touring Elite van with all of the bells and whistles.  I need to get around to ordering a special tag that says "Sell Out"  I REALLY hope it is available!

We used the new van to make our trip to NC.  It was Rowan's first trip because she is a horrible car rider and we were hoping she would get better.  That doesn't look like it will be changing any time soon so we took the plunge and went.  We left Friday evening so both girls actually slept the majority of the trip.  The way back was rough at times but over all I didn't pull all of my hair out.

We spent the majority of our time there just relaxing.  We went to a public pool while we were there and Rowie went into the water for the very first time.  She loved it!  Reese had fun playing with David.  The next day we went to a BBQ at Mary's neighbors house and had a nice time.  They have chickens and they had a few chicks so Reese was very excited to hold one.  I am still in shock that she actually wanted to!  She acted like a little pro.

Rowan turned around at the last minute because she decided MeMa's hair was a lot more interesting than mommy's camera.

I'm sure everyone wants to know when we will be coming up next.  I'm not sure yet since we are taking Reese on a surprise trip for Thanksgiving.  I'll give you a hint....it's magical! :)
