Weekend at Poppy and Gigi's

After our move all week, we took off to see Paul and Lisa and relax by the pool a little! Aunt Mary, Aunt LeighAnn, Uncle Brian, Olivia and Mia were also there... The kids spent all of Saturday in the pool...I think they were growing fins!! Although, Katie had just been to swimming lessons a week and half before, Aunt Mary got her out of her shell and she shocked me and Ryan with what she learned to do!!

She swam across the entire pool and back! Did cannonballs off the side of the pool! Let Uncle Brian throw her in the air and land in the water!! It also helped that Olivia and Mia are little mermaids and she kept her eyes glued on them!

Goodbye To Our Home

A week ago, today, was the last day in our home. Yes, we were excited to sell to move on to the next stage of our life...but it was with sadness and tears to leave.

Katie and Rylie left a little something behind on the driveway...hope they like it as much as we did!!

Cousin Camp

This past weekend, my mom, aunts and grandmother put on a fantastic two days of "Cousin Camp"! The kids enjoyed the activities so much...they were sad to leave...but were exhausted!! The kids went up and down the road where mom lives to grandmother's and my two aunt's houses for all kinds of fun...

The crew of cousins...Ty, Liam, Emily, Jonathan, Desirae, Katie, Rylie, Luke and Sierra! There are two older ones as well...Cheyenne and Savannah (not there yet)
