CONGRATS to Aunt Erika

Aunt Erika graduated from High School this past weekend. Congratulations!!

Playing Dress Up

So in our attempts to keep the Nati happy on our trip back from SC we bought her a purse and filled it with goodies. It had some bracelets, necklaces, an old cell phone and a "My Little Pony". This is what she like to do:

Playing at Justin and Jessica's

We went over to Justin and Jessica's for dinner. We hadn't seen them in several months. Sydney is about 6 months younger than Natalie. Nati had a great time trying to keep up with Mackenzie!! She LOVED their playground!!

Pool Time

It has gotten pretty hot and dry already so we went and got Nati a little pool she could play in the back yard. She had a great time with it!! We also got her a bubble machine. The funniest part is hearing her say BUBBLE!

VACATION!

We went on vacation with my family a couple of weeks ago. We rented a house on the beach in South Carolina. It was on this island called Harbor Island, close to Beaufort, S.C. Tita, Tia Lucia, Tio Pat, Tia Cynthia and Kevin were also there.

We had the greatest time. We spent some time at the beach and at the pool. We also went to Charleston, S.C. one day where we saw all the SC relatives. We walked around the city for a while. The hardest part about that day was that Jason and I forgot Nati's stroller in Louisville. My Mom's cousin Ralph saved the day by going to buy us one. After that it was great!

Another day we drove to Savannah, GA. That was pretty cool also. The town is so nice. None of us had been there before. Besides our little day trips, we spent the week playing games, cooking, and lounging. It was awesome. I think we all returned well rested.

The hardest part about the trip was that after the drive down (which we did in two separate days starting on Friday night) the Nati wanted nothing to do with the car. She screamed every time we got in it. It didn't matter if it was for 10 hours or 10 minutes. Imagine a screaming baby when you are driving in the Smoky Mountains. Not fun!! On the way back we drove the longest leg at night while Nati slept and it at least kept us from pulling our hair out!!
