51 Weeks

51 Weeks Old

This week Brad was in DC, so Mia came up and spent part of the week with us, and we went to Fayetteville for the rest of the week.

Nothing like blueberry pancakes on a Saturday morning

Mia brought some Hope watermelons!

We took a watermelon to Fayetteville because they are Papa's favorite.

One afternoon Mary Ella didn't want to nap, so ME layed down with her. When they got up we took some Sonic down to the pool and had a picnic. ME got her first taste of tots!

Wednesday morning we said goodbye to Mia and headed to Springdale. We stayed at Mike and Julie's because Gigi and Papa were having their bathrooms re-tiled and new carpet put in. We had Guido's with the fam before church Wednesday night and went to Kendall and Rena's for Ranjo's birthday party. Thursday we hung out with Hannah, Anna, and Trey and went to the pool. Thursday night Uncle Mike babysat ME while Julie, Anna, and I went to see Beauty and the Beast at the Walton Arts Center. It was so good, and Anna LOVED it! She wore her Bealle dress and all! Friday morning Julie and the kids and I loaded up and headed to the lakehouse for the weekend. Gigi and Papa were already out there and waiting for us on the dock! Over the rest of the weekend we enjoyed good food and great times with the WHOLE family- minus Daddy of course. We sure missed him, but we're glad he got to have a little fun in DC at a Nationals vs. Braves game.

Mary Ella was a wild woman and crawled all over the place! She tried all weekend to make it up the stairs with the big kids. It was just so tempting!

The kids throwing rocks in the lake. Trey and Eli probably threw about a million! They had the best time!

Anna is a great swimmer! She "saved" Eli when their float flipped.

Trey blowing bubbles and hopefully not drinking the lake water.

Janet was at Nancy and Leonard's so we got to see Bailey and Mark too! Anna and Bailey decided they were besties. As soon as we got home Anna wanted to write Bailey a thank you note for letting her spend the night. So sweet!

ME loves her crazy cousins!

We spend a lot of time just hangin on the dock.

Thanks Gigi and Papa for a weekend of fun at the lake!
