Mommy's Birthday!

So I just had my birthday a few weeks ago...and now I wish everyday was my birthday! I got to eat yummy pizza buffet with my best friend...shop, and then my mom, sister, and her fiance Garic came up for a cookout! Trav made some yummy food and my strawberry cake was delicious!! Best part of all...was hearing my two sweet girls singing happy birthday to me while their baby sister Amelia played the kick drums in my stomach! Ahh...life is good!

So we might be a little crazy....

but I promise life is more fun this way!

I love my Auntie!

So one of the girlies' favorite people finally made it home from Harvard Medical School...Auntie Courtney!!!! Avayah & Adalynne have been asking non-stop about her all summer long, and I think they we're definitely confused as to why she hasn't made an appearance at our house in awhile!

Courtney just ended her summer internship and Avayah and I got to pick her up from the Airport (Daddy & Addy were taking naps!)...and take her to have some pizza! Avayah was so excited to see her...she even had to show (sing) Courtney that she now knows 5 of the Sugarland's songs by heart..(cutest thing ever to hear her belting out their songs...she's so in love with that Sugarland that her Daddy & I are taking her to see them in concert the end of this year).

Courtney had a blast in Boston..and did amazing on her medical research too!! We are so proud of you Courtney...and you define what being a good auntie is all about! So glad to have you home! <3

Camping....sort of

So after Travis and I spent the weekend of our 6 year anniversary at Lake Murray camping back in July...Avayah has been begging to go "camping" after she saw the tent! Well let's just say a 4 & 2 year old, plus a 6' 2" daddy & 36 week pregnant mommy don't make for a real camping combination...at all!
So....mommy's solution...

Yes, this is our tent set up INSIDE of our living room! Original plan was for Dad & Vay to camp in the backyard, but the sprinkler and pool soaked the ground...so the party was relocated inside!

The girls had a blas, even though Mommy & Addy both bailed for mom's king size pillow top matress! But we all had so much fun staying up late & having smores, reading an endless amount of the girlies books, and rolling on the air mattress! What precious memories!!
