Texas Trip June 2-16

We went home to Texas for a couple of weeks in June. Had fun spending time with family and friends. A few highlights - we got to attend our niece's 3rd birthday party, took Lilly Anna to the zoo, I co-hosted my sweet friend Mary Marshall's baby shower. We went to an awesome fish fry in honor of Mary Marshall's 30th birthday and spent our first night away! Josh surprised me with a night at the W Hotel while Grandmommy (Josh's mom) was kind enough to keep Lilly Anna for us - THANK YOU!

While we were home Lilly Anna started CRAWLING and my family got to see it - including my great-aunt who came to visit just to meet LA!

It was a great trip and we are so grateful that we had the time to go home! We also appreciated all the FREE babysitting:)

Here are some of the pictures from the trip (a bit out of order!)

Lilly Anna's funny face with her Great-Grandma (whom she's named after)Mary Marshall opening one of her presents. She's due any day now with a baby GIRL - Harper Elisabeth!
My dear friend Kelli. She just had a baby GIRL named Everleigh. Kelli and I were college roommates!

LA and Drew had a thing going - they were really understanding each other!

I thought this was a funny pic because the babies are always fighting for space in Granddaddy's lap!

My dear friend Emily and her adorable 15-month old son Travis. We were in "Grandmommy's Garden" Josh's mom had the mural painted in the kids' playroom right before we came into town. Isn't it beautiful?
