We're Back!


(This is five generations)




Hello Everyone! I am glad to be back and not flying in the air with a 15month old on my lap. I have a tendency to get "air sick" when there is turbulence, and Carly or Cole are sitting on me.

We had a great time in Missouri and Illinois. You may all be wondering what we did back there, but it was a blast. We drove around a lot, but we had to in order to visit my great-grandmothers, aunt, uncles, cousins, and grandpa. My mom's side of the family lives in Missouri and Illinois so we visited everyone in one big trip. Carly was TERRIFIC. She loved all the attention she was getting without her brother to steal the show. It is amazing how when I give her my undivided attention she doesn't have to whine for me to notice her.

Everyone knows that the mid-west, and the east coast were all experience heat waves, but while we were back there, it was pleasant and enjoyable. Rachelle and Janelle had fun as well and I love my sisters. They played with Carly and we all laughed and ate, until we felt "belly bombers" That is the new word for when you eat something that makes you feel like you could explode ie: White Castle, and Airport food.

We arrived home Tuesday at 12:00am and Cole was in my bed with his dad. He was sound asleep when I took him into his bed, and when I said "I love you Cole, he said I love you Mom" The kicker was he knew I was home, and he never opened his eyes. I missed him too much (In his words) but I loved spending one on one time with my little girl.

I learned that I love California, and I am content in my "one horse town"

Annie, I am so happy you looked at my blog. I did miss Travis and Cole a lot. I didn't get homesick because I had Carly. You need to start a blog. I am jazzed to go camping, I'm sure I will get some good pics to post. See you later. D

How fun to get to go away with your mom and sisters. I am going with my mom this weekend to take Alex back to school. I am leaving both kids with Jody! I can't wait.

Kelly, I am excited for you, that you get some Kelly time. I love to hear when my fellow moms get to feel relaxed, and you don't have to worry about anything except when you want to eat, or go to the potty!haha. Have a great time.
