GA trip

For Spring Break we went to Georgia!
Our first stop was Roman and Kayla's house (Dallas, GA)
Avery was very excited to see Cody and they played and played!!

We went and ate hot wings, took the kids to the park and Kayla and I got a little shopping in!


We were very excited that the Georgia Bulldogs made the tournament this year although they didn't get very far...   
Ansley still cheered them on:)
 Next Stop:  Athens, GA
We stayed with Hannah and Jason.  Avery was VERY excited to see Roxy and get to play with their dogs.
 Uncle Jason taught Avery some stuff on the PS move
I was surprised by how well Ansley was with Hannah and Jason's dogs.  She warmed right up to them despite their urge to give her lots of kisses.
While we were in Athens we also went and visited Brian and Claibourne.
We drove up to Jefferson and had dinner together and the girls played.

 It was so fun to be reunited with so many of our old friends back in Athens.  When we walked into church it was so nice to exchange hugs, tears, and laughter with old friends as we quickly caught each other up with recent happenings.  The ladies also changed playgroup to accomodate me and I got more time with some of my dear friends and their kiddos;)  It was a treat!!!

 Ansley enjoyed the swings and the weather was perfect!
 We also went visited and had dessert with the Beckstead's while we were in Athens.

Azilee, Ansley, Mallory & Andrew(Mallory's twin--not sure how he escaped the pic)

 Midweek we headed to Marietta to Joey's parents house.
Avery and Taylor had a makeover party where they painted their finger and toenails and put on lip gloss

 They also did lots of coloring with the new crayon tower Uncle Kevin got for Avery.
 Ansley always wanted to catch up with everyone and not be left behind-
 she learned very quickly how to get up the stairs...
She was quite pleased with herself and now mommy does not get a free moment!
The weather was incredible we spent a lot of time outside
like on the trampoline!  Avery's crazy hair with her funny faces;)



& Crack the egg with Aunt Kimi
We got to spend a lot of time with Aunt Kimi!!!! (which means LOTS of laughter!)

 Ansley and Grandpa!
 Ansley got her turn on the trampoline too and she was LOVING it!
 The girls loved the extra time they got with Daddy too!
 We also went and cheered on Jeni at her track meet
 The Crew playing Bochi Ball
 More girl time
 Then Jill and her kids came over and played too!
 They built fortresses, played with play-doh, hide and seek and many other fun games

And Grandma and Grandpa watched all the kiddos while Joey, Jill, Kimi Jason and myself hit up our fav mexican restaurant in Marietta Los Cazadores and had a great time!

We loved our trip and by the end we were all exhausted!!! & Avery cried all the way to Birmingham, AL and told us she wasn't ready to leave yet...

Such a fun trip! Glad you got to spend time with family. It reminds me when we used to hide when it was time to leave Longview!

And we were happy we got to see you all this visit. For about 2 days after Avery left, Cody kept asking about playing with Avery. It was so cute. Glad you all had fun while you were down here and next time, we will have a new addition to the family :) Love you girl
