After a horrendous first night in the hotel... I officially made it a FACT that our dear sweet son is a home body and that if we dare take him to another bed thats not his... we will pay for it.
cue picture of our dear sweet son and his first night sleeping in bed with mama and daddy:
Our girls roomed with their nana and pawpaw so they were fortunate enough to have a good nights sleep.
Apart from the sleep deprivation, we had really fun weekend. We kicked off the reunion with a boat ride. Fortunately, the girls stayed back with the other kids and a sitter... which turned out to be a good thing cuz I don't think I would have trusted them on that boat. I did get a little motion sick... which if that was any insight to what our cruise will be like, I'll be popping the motion sickness pills a lot.
me with my boys.
Little man after his night of non stop partying. Can you tell he's a tad tired??
I always say... It takes a real man to wear a moby.. and I got one! Nat really is such a great daddy, and all 3 of our babies are so fortunate to call him daddy.
After we picked up the girls, we headed back to the hotel for a nap... which turned into swim time! Inside I was a little excited 2 out of the 3 chitlens wouldn't sleep cuz I really wanted to go swimming! We went back and forth with Madelynn about trying to swim without holding onto Nat or I... to which she said no to every time. Over time, you could see her little brain ticking. She eventually asked to put her floaties back on and said she wanted to try to swim. We were soooooo proud of her because just as soon as she asked, she did it. She let go and we taught her what to do and she did it like it was nothin! She jumped in from the side and swam all the way to the other side.... and I got a great video of it... and somehow the video mysteriously disappeared off my camera... and I'm not happy about it so I'm gonna stop there.
bubba had his first swim... which he enjoyed very much! He splash, splash, splashed and kept putting his face in the water.
Stetson and uncle Karl
After our swim, we headed over to a family BBQ and an Easter egg hunt.
(in no particular order)
Ashley and Stetson.
Ashley took Stetson and took care of him pretty much the whole time. It was nice to not have to worry bout him.
Our kids are so loved.
later that night, we found the girls in someone else's eggs... devouring the candy.
And just as I married into an awesome family, I was fortunate enough to be born into a great family. The kids and I stayed at my parents house Sunday night that way we could split up the 8 hour drive into 2 days. We had a fantastic family dinner. It was sooo good to see everyone. I've missed my family sooooooo much. Oh and did I mention... there is just NOTHING like my mom's home cooking. Every time I step into my parents house, and eat that home cooked meal it just takes me back to a place that I love to be. After dinner, we had another egg hunt.
See Jedd (light blue shirt) and Payton? They're 2 months apart. Hard to believe. He is on the Far end of the growth chart, and she is at the opposite end.
We had such a good time with both sides of our families... but we were all so happy to be back home. Especially my dear sweet son.
