One big happy family...

Last weekend Blake, Danyelle, Austin and Callie came to visit from Florida. What made this visit different and so much fun is that we were all living together under one roof for 5 days! The kids LOVED spending every minute of these 5 days with their cousins. We don't get to see them as much as we all would like so this visit and all of the togetherness was perfect!

The whole fam...



The kids and grandkids...



We always try so hard to get kids together for a picture but it's nearly impossible...

2nd attempt was to make a choo-choo train...we were missing our caboose :)

Mema and Jackie came to visit one night and brought the kids each a toy which, of course, all the kids LOVED. They are too sweet!!

Our babies that aren't really babies anymore :(!

All the playing tired the kids out...


More tired lil' eyes

It was a fabulous family filled weekend with the whole family. Morgan is already asking when they are coming back. It was so fun to see the cousins have so much fun together. We will skype with them until we see them again!

Tiny Tot Tumbling

I have been wanting to start Morgan is a sport/activity but wasn't sure what to do and where. We threw around the idea of dance, gymnastics, and soccer. We decided on gymnastics after finding a 4 week program for 3-4 year olds offered at the MAC. Of course, I headed out to Academy yesterday to buy her gymnastics attire so we would be ready for her first class, which was this past Friday.



She was a little shy at first but did great overall. They stretched, did forward rolls, handstands, backbends and more.

Tutu cute!


She really enjoyed it and we are looking forward to going back next week!

The Move

We survived the first stage of this process...Moving out of our house. It was one of the most difficult (physically) things I have ever done. And we will have to move again...Out of the Baughman's and our pods into our new home. We still haven't heard back from the bank on the house we have a contract on so who knows when that will be!

Pictures of some of the movers:). Didn't get any of me - but I was one of the hard workers!

I’m not sure if you have heard Miranda Lambert’s song “The House That Built Me” but last weekend while moving I heard it and the song keep going through my head over and over. The move was a little bittersweet for us. It was the the house that Bryan and I moved into a couple weeks before we got married.
…it’s where we brought our babies home to and watched them grow month after month
…it’s where we had so many fun days and nights hanging out with friends
……it was there we spent the summers swimming outside and working with the kids on their swimming skills. Pics of kids before their last swim...

……Many memories were made there, many holiday and birthdays were celebrated.
……Many good neighbor relationships were made there for us and the kids, I will miss watching all the kids play together.

I was the only one in the family that found this move emotional. I held myself together most times but one of the saddest times was after we closed and we had to go back to get something and Morgan asked me to open the door. I teared up and reminded her that someone else lives there now.

We will miss this home but felt it was time to move on. We are confident that we will find a new house we love and make into our new home. As long as we all have each other is what really matters!

We have all enjoyed our first week of living with Gammy and Pops. The kids are doing great and for that I am very thankful. They have their own room, beds, toys and most everything they had at home and of course, Gammy and Pops. What more could they want!? :)
