Beach Bound

What started off as the longest road trip ever ended up with a great day at the beach and a beautiful wedding. My cousin got married Saturday in Charleston South Carolina. We left Thursday and drove 6 hours on the dreaded I-40. Yes, we hit traffic which landed us just south of Asheville for the night. Friday, we headed down I-26 for 5 hours and finally arrived in Charleston. Saturday was an unbelievable day on the beach. It was terrific weather and the kids were so happy! It ended with the wedding Saturday evening at sunset. After the wedding my sister and her family, my mom and dad and the four of us stopped for a kodak moment. Sunday, we drove back to Nashville and thankfully, it only took 9 hours.

Birthday Bash

My sister out did herself once again. She loves to host parties and they are always a big hit. This year for my niece's 9th birthday we had a big cookout with friends and family. The "jumpy" was a big hit (except with Luke, who chose to just standback and watch). Here are photos of my sister with the birthday girl and Anna is jumping in the background. Also, Anna is preparing to take a swing at the pinata. Luke was entertained by a giant hershey kiss toy that played music when you opened it... Lots of fun and a gorgeous day!!!

Sunny Day

We had a beautiful day today! The sun was shining and it felt great to be outside. So great, Anna and friends decided to have a treehouse picnic! After lunch, they took turns swinging and playing soccer. FUN!
