The Big PP t-shirt

When I was pregnant with Drew, we were trying to come up with funny grandpa names for my daddy. My brother decided on The Big P.P. Unfortunately it didn't stick and he's grandaddy now, but when my sister was pregnant with Caroline, our cousin Lizzy got her a onesie that says I love my big pp. We've had all of daddy's grandchildren take a picture in it (well Drew was holding it) and are hoping that all of them will have their picture made in it. Then we'll make a fun collage one day. So here's Davis wearing it!

Playing with the Jennings

Hannah, Brent, and Caroline made a surprise visit last night. We had so much fun!

Jimmy Buffet 2010

Brian and I were so excited to get to see Jimmy Buffet last Saturday!!! We made this same trip the summer after Drew was born and thought it would be fun to do the same thing after Davis was born. Lucky for us, Deedee lives in Frisco right down the street from the soccer stadium where the concert is. So we save a ton of money on a hotel room...making it much easier to budget for tickets and the trip itself. We got to see Erin and her babies on the way, so that made it fun too. Drew and Davis spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandaddy and had a total blast. We were able to tailgate with Scott, Callie, Brian, and Sara so that was fun. The concert was great of course. Brian and I both love Buffet and have since we were kids. I love that we are bringing up a 3rd generation of Parrotheads. It melts Brian's heart when Drew asks him to turn on "the pirate song." Unfortunately when we got out of the concert, I had a bunch of missed text messages and calls saying that my grandaddy had a heart attack. So that shortened our fun and our trip by several hours. We jumped in the car, went back to Dee's for some quick showers, and got on the road for Sherwood at midnight. We knew Grandaddy would be fine until the next day, but wanted to be home earlier so we could pick the boys up. We knew my parents would need to go to the hospital on Sunday. So after an exahausting drive, we made it home around 5:30am. But everything is fine now...after a new and improved pacemaker and defibrillator Grandaddy is at home resting comfortably. But it was still a fantastic post-baby trip. Hopefully this will become a yearly pilgrimmage now!

Dinner before Buffet

We got to stay with Deedee when we went to see Buffet last weekend. Winston is home from college, so he was there too and since Davis has an apartment in town he and his girlfriend were able to meet us for dinner too. It was so fun getting to play catch up with them. My family is so great and we don't get to spend nearly enough time with all of them!

Visit with the McCroskeys

On our way to Jimmy Buffet last weekend, we got to stop off and see Erin and her babies for a few hours. It was so fun to get to hold the twins and play with Archer and Connor. I love Erin so much and it seems we can only see each other about once a year. Sad I know. She is doing so great and they are all so adorable!

Ella Lou Ables

Sweet Ella Lou was born about a month ago. She's adorable and we are so happy to add another baby to the crazy mix of kids we already have! Hudson, Jaime, and Jason are so happy to have her. Sweet baby girl!

My 3 guys.

We were trying to take pictures of Davis for his 4 month picture and then of course Drew wanted in on the action. I tried so hard to get a good picture of all 3 guys, but apparently that's impossible now!
