Our First Sleep Over!

Laura Beth loving on Addison Kate when we picked up Aubrey.

"Double Trouble!" Such a funny picture. While Erin and I were talking, we realized the girls were too quiet. We found them in Addison's room lubing up Aubrey! Loving the "we're caught" looks on their faces.We let the girl's play outside and I looked out and didn't see them. Found both of them in my car buckling Aubrey in. They were ready to go. Hoping Aubrey doesn't always let Laura Beth take control.... :)Bath Time!Being Silly With Landon (Daddy!)My snapshot from my "inch" of the bed. Yes, I let BOTH of them sleep with me and Landon. This picture was actually snapped in the dark before I went to sleep. I am lying next to Aubrey.Jump Its (Playgroup)

Laura Beth and Aubrey had their first sleepover. Since, Erin just gave birth to Addison I thought it would be fun to have Aubrey spend the night and have a playdate with us. We weren't sure how it would go over since they are only 2! However, Aubrey was a total trouper and had a blast. She didn't cry for Mommy and thinks Laura Beth is too funny. They really get along great. I just hope Laura Beth doesn't teach Aubrey too much of her drama. We stayed up late, played in the tub, and went to JumpIts and Chic-fil-a the following day. Aubrey didn't want to go home and Laura Beth was definitely sad to see her go. The night/day was filled with lots of 2 year old giggles and 30 year old laughs. They are a total hoot together and keep me laughing.

A Tea Party!

Oh how I love a tea party! I am a total "girlie girl!" so a tea party is right up my ally. Laura Beth got a few tea sets for Christmas and every since it's "Mom, wanna have a tea party?" "Mom, sit down, sit right here, want some tea?" So, when it's snack time and Laura Beth mentions a tea party, we have the "real deal" equipped with juice and snacks. She likes to pour the juice and reminds me how I should hold my teacup. Sooo cute! I cherish each one as I suppose the days of her wanting to have a tea party with me are limited.

Visiting with Nana on the way home...

This year we spent Independence Day in Charleston with Trey and Christine. We took our annual trip to IOP and had a great time. It was a nice relaxing week with the Ingrams. We enjoyed nice dinners, days on the beach, and spending time with Trey and Christine planning for Parker's arrival in October! I really hate that Christine and I live over 5 hours apart but am grateful for the time we are able to spend together. I am sooo excited that she is pregnant and entering the world of motherhood. I can't wait for her to meet her little guy and get to experience the feeling of being a mother. Loving the more frequent phonecalls to talk about baby gear, fabric, diaper bags, etc. :) Laura Beth loved the beach and Trey! She talked his head off all week and told him "your my favorite friend" constantly if his attention diverted to anywhere but her. I am sure Christine and Trey were happy to see us arrive and happy to see us go. The highlights for me were watching fireworks on the beach, lounging in my new lounge chair Landon bought me, and registering at BabiesRus with Christine.
