Happiness

Happiness here lately has been enjoying family and watching my two wonderful children soak up the warm sunny weather. Mother's day weekend we went to my sister Kelli's house for a baby shower for my cousin Samantha. She's having a baby girl this summer! Brayson and Blaire had a large time at Uncle John and Aunt Kelli's new house. Brayson really enjoyed the tennis courts. You'll see a picture of him in the slideshow below of him getting ready for tennis practice. The next day we went to celebrate my grandmother, Noni's 97th birthday! I made her favorite cake...Italian Cream! She's one of my biggest fans.

Last week we enjoyed taking the boat out on the lake and watching Blaire just hop up on two skis! I'm so jealous of my own daughter. I couldn't ever get up on skis. She just pops up anytime she wants. I guess she took after her water-loving father! Then on Friday, Pops and I went to pick up a playscape that my sister Kelli found for us on Craigslist. Thanks Kelli and Pops!! Pops and I had to disassemble it to get it into the truck, okay Pops had to disassemble it! I supervised really well, though. When Darby got home, Pops and he put it together! Boy did Brayson have a large time breaking it in! Blaire had fun, too! I'm really glad it all worked out and my kids now have one more thing to keep them out of my hair...well at least for the time being.

Enjoy the slideshow!

San Francisco Vacation

Okay, okay...I finally got around to posting San Francisco pics. Darby and I went there for our 13 year wedding anniversary. Darby had to go out there for a flood claim trial that he worked several years ago and I decided to tag along and make it a vacation! A much needed one might I add. Thanks to Nana and Pops keeping the kids, we were able to go and enjoy ourselves for 4 wonderful days!! Thanks Nana and Pops!!!!! Y'all are the best! We enjoyed the sites and wonderful food of SF and best of all, we just enjoyed each other's company. It's been quite a while since we had a vacation alone. Here are some of the pictures from our trip....
