OOOHHHIIIOOO

About a month ago we decided to make a last minute trip up to Ohio to visit my sister and her family. We had a lot of fun at Mandy's Mop group Ice cream event, going to the mall playground and the jumpy house. It was a great visit and we are so blessed to of been able to go up. Here are a couple pictures from the week. Cami had a blast and I loved watching her interact with her cousins.

Happy 4th!

The day of the 4th we just hung out around the house and relaxed. Then we went over to a good friends parents house to shoot off fireworks on their farm. Below are a couple pictures from the evening. We forgot to take a family photo :( Oh well I guess there is always next year! :)

Brady Bear did so well and even slept through all the fireworks



Cami loved her sparklers even though her face doesn't show it in this picture

                                     

 

Weekend in Birmingham

The weekend of the July 4th the kids and I decided to venture down to Alabama for  a couple days because my sister and her family was going to be there. We had a lot of fun and even got to see some cousins that we haven't seen in years. It was a great time with family just hanging out and catching up.

 Brayden and his cousin Emily, just 4 weeks apart.

Cami, Papa, and Jake

Cousin Aiden, Jake, and Austin with Cami in the pool at Papa and Nini's.

 Cami sure loves giving her kisses.

Sisters and our little girls :-)

Austin and Brayden... such a good big cousin!

Side note

As most of you know Cami is very attached to her "lodey" {aka her blanket that we call lovey}. Well the other day we were getting ready for bed. She runs over to her crib and gets on her tip toes trying to reach it. Well, she couldn't reach it and started crocodile size tears. This might sound horrible but it was so cute I grabbed my camera to take a picture because she was so pitiful, yet so cute. As soon as she saw me pull it out she stopped and just smile and said "CHEESE." haha. All I could do is laugh and get her the lovey. Maybe I take too many pictures?! What a little ham!

Grandma and Grandpa's visit

We were blessed to have Devin's parents come to visit us about 3 weeks after Brayden was born. Luckily I was feeling better so we were able to do a bit more. We went to the park a couple times, Splash Pad and the Zoo. They were also gracious enough to take the kids sometimes so I could nap since Brayden was not the best of sleepers yet. Sometimes I look back and don't know how I made it through the day after all our visitors left. We were blessed beyond belief to have all their help.





We also celebrated Father's Day that week. I could not of thought of a better man to be the father of my children. He is an amazing dad and loves our children so much. Devin and I are also very blessed to have two amazing father's who have been great examples over the years. Thanks dads and we love you!





Also, during their visit John and Marilyn celebrated their anniversary. Thanks for being another great example of a great marriage for us to look up to. We hope and pray we are as blessed to be married as long. Love you guys and thanks again for a great visit!

Aunt Chelsea's surprise :-)

We got a wonderful surprise the week we were in the hospital that Chelsea was going to get to come visit us last minute. Chels got to come when Brayden was about 2 weeks old so unfortunately we didn't get to go do a ton because I was still recovering from the c-section, but it was fun just hanging out and catching up. Cambria loved having another person there to love on her and she was a HUGE help cooking and helping out with Cami since I still couldn't lift her a ton. I am beginning to think she needs to move here and cook for us every night like she did for us that trip. There were some VERY yummy meals! Thanks again for coming and we can't wait to see you soon :)

As you can see in this picture, there is a bandaid on Cami's head. WELL, Cami was so excited when Chelsea got there she decided to stumble down the stairs and bonk her head. Very scary, but she was a champ and only cried a couple minutes.

So behind...

Well I did really good right after Brayden was born blogging but have majorly slacked off (again)! I am working on some post now and will hopefully have them on here in the next day or so. So don't be surprised when you get on here and there are a couple post. Hope all is well with everyone and miss you all!!
