Aub & Rob

Aubrey,Justin, and Ava Kate came to visit us this weekend and I miss them already! We had a truly wonderful time just eating, laughing, taking pictures, going to the zoo, and the park! Aubrey and I have been BFF's since 6th grade, never once getting into an argument, but getting into plenty of mischief! We were laughing this weekend while we were getting ready to take pictures and go eat that life is a little different than when we would get ready for a night out 10 years ago. This time we were entertaining kids while we were getting ready. They graciously took our family pictures for Mother's Day. You can see a preview on my blog, but I'm not posting anymore b/c they will be given out as Mother's Day gifts. They are wonderful! Afterward, we decided to relive our old photo shoots, and take some BFF pics. It was quite funny. I'm waiting on Justin to scan some of our past shots so you can see how far we've come!!

An All Star is Born

I don't want to be one of those mom's that constantly brags on her children, however, I do have some athletes!! I'm very competetive, so this exciting to me! Will had his first T-ball game this weekend, and I was expecting to get a few laughs out of it. Boy was I surprised! He played pitcher and since they don't actually pitch in T-ball, his position was to field all of the balls. He made 15-20 outs! He's got quite an arm and takes it very seriously! He also hit some slammers too! It's so much fun!





O.M.G. Round Top Rocks!

Okay...so I cannot express in words what fun a girl's trip to Round Top is! And what fun it is to share the experience with 3 awesome women...my mom and sis-in-laws! I'm pretty sure that Nat, Lauren, and I didn't know what we were in for. The weather was AMAZING as Nat would say, the food was AMAZING, the company was AMAZING, and the junk was AMAZING! All in all, it was an AMAZING trip! We came home with cars full of the fun stuff and maybe an extra couple of pounds to boot! Our families survived without us, and we've decided this is an absolute annual trip...or if we're lucky, semi-annual! Thanks, Dad for the trip! Thanks to mom for teaching us how to junk!

The big red barn....are we there yet??
Aunt Nat, Nana, and Aunt Lauren as we're getting started!

Miss E...the world's youngest (and best) junker!
Admiring the pies at Round Top! If you know my family, you know we love pie! I was so anxious to eat at the famous Royer's Round Top Cafe! An AMAZING food experience, but the crust still goes to Nana!

Our orders..and yes, we were sick!

From Basketball to Braces

Go Wildcats!
Lex (after braces), Riley, Blaze, Mia
With braces and forcing a painful smile!
Lexi was super proud of her basketball trophy and ended the week with braces! She has top and bottom expanders, too, so she's trying to figure out how to talk and eat again. Just another reminder that my little girl is very big!
