Jeremy had a week at camp and several youth events in the month of July, so we decided the babies and I would enjoy a trip to Pappa & Mimi's for 2 weeks! Having extra hands of help was a huge blessing! We loved our special time with them and it was such a time of rest and relaxation for us all! =)
Here are some of the highlights of our 2.5 weeks in Nashville...
 |
| Auntie Brit loved coming home on her lunch break and getting special snuggle time with Jackson! I think she's loving the excuse that she needs "practice" before Houston gets here! |
 |
| Our handsome little pilot! |
 |
| Pappa pulled our old tricycle out of the attic! All three of us girls learned to ride on it...Bella loved learning to ride her "bicycle." |
 |
| Mom and I had a special pedicure day together. We left Bella to nap with Pappa and took Jackson with us. He was an angel...charmed all the ladies and then dozed off to nap while I soaked up the quiet relaxation time! |
 |
| Bella and Napoleon bonded! Bella saw it as her duty to make sure he had food every day. =) |
 |
| We love our Pappa...full of cuddles, sweet treats and tickle tortures!!! |
 |
| Brother is growing way TOO fast! |
 |
| Bella enjoyed special trips to the park with Pappa! She loves putting her "running shoes" on all by herself...we just gotta work on getting them on the right feet! =) |
 |
| All ready to go to "Pappa's Church" as Bella calls it! |
 |
| Aunt Linny and Cousin Sadie came up for a few days to visit! Bath time with a friend is always more fun. |
 |
| Who knew my sisters and I would have the privilege to celebrate a national holiday together..."Ice cream Day" ... |
 |
| Sweet snuggles with "Aunt Linny" |
 |
| Cousin snuggle time... |
 |
| Love these little rascals! |
 |
| Jackson practicing his boxing skills! He loves to kick those feet and punch those fists! |
 |
| We were able to hang out with 2nd cousins for an afternoon as they were passing through Nashville! |
 |
| Hey...a girls gotta work for her place to stay! =) |
 |
| I guess she got hot on a summer sunny day... |
 |
| We love our Mimi...she gives fun baths, willingly changes poopy diapers, cooks delicious meals, prays with us, snuggles with us...and takes mommy out for special relaxing days! =) BEST Mimi in the whole world! |
 |
| We enjoyed some hot summer walks together up and down the rolling hills of Tennessee. |
 |
| Love this sweet boy! |
 |
| My baby girl is growing up...precious little toddler girl she is =) |
 |
| LOVE her! |
 |
| My little handsome all ready for church...(the best place for a baby nap)... |
 |
| My babies...(do you know how challenging it is to get a 25 mo. and 2 mo. old in a picture together!?) |
 |
| Bella anxiously searches for her Pappa...and as soon as she sees him she does not want to be separated from him. I think she'd make a good pastoral assistant! |
 |
| We loved attending the annual church-wide picnic! Yummy food, great fellowship and a fun stream to play in! Pappa was teaching Bella how to skip stones. She was ecstatic! |
 |
| Bella, Jackson and I had a slumber party at Brit and Matt's house one night. We put Bella to bed and Jackson and I helped organize all baby Houston's cute things! Jackson wanted to try out the froggy hat...Cutest little froggy around! |
 |
| The next morning, I took Bella to play on Aunt Brit's neighborhood playground! FUN times! |
 |
| Opening Ceremonies for the 2012 Olympics! GO USA! |
 |
| Ready to cheer for the USA! |
