Brandi Carlile Weekend...

My dad came this weekend to ake us to a Brandi Carlile show.

All I have to say is, "thanks, Dad. I'll never be the same!"

It was a FANTASTIC show and we had so much fun just hanging out!

these are in Charlottesville before the show...

On top of the show, Charlottesville is a really cool place. I definitely want to go back.


Jackson took this picture of David and Leda on accident. I gotta say that I think I have a futute photographer on my hands.


And because I can't have a post without a cute picture of Caroline...

And now, the fabulousness that is Brandi Carlile...

The Zoo!

My BFF, Amy, had been talking about taking the kids to the zoo for a long time, so about a month ago we finally decided to do it. I bought a family pass while we were there and apparently that was a great decision. My kids LOVE LOVE LOVE the zoo. We have been five or sox times since then and have more than paid for that family pass!

These are pictures from our first visit with Amy...

Looking at the alligators... Caroline LOVES Jackson. she is never more than a few steps away from him!

Here's to many more zoo trips to come.

We can get discounts for anyone else, so if you're interested, we go once a week!

Why?!

I love how the beginning she is saying, "cheese!"

It's true... I'm a HORRIBLE blogger...

Let's start with Easter...

And then there's me, the bad blogger...

My dearest friend, Amy, had a birthday. Cameron was wonderful to stay home with the kids so I could spend some time with friends on this fun night...

me and my best girl

Kasey and me

Amy's husband, Ryan, and me. Love him too!

You knew I would make cake, right?!

Fun times at PaPa and Greema's house...

these cousinds love each other and love riding in PaPa's "tractor"

my sweet girl!

giving Caroline a push-up in the car... clearly not the best decision I ever made!

Most exciting of all, Mom, David and I were able to make a trip to Boston where my cousin, Nikole, was married. We had a fabulous time and it was wonderful, as always to get to spend time with family. I love you all and had a fantastic time!!! Kimmy has promised a CD with more pictures (as she is better about having her camera than I)... I can't wait to share those with you as well

Picture update

Finally blogging, but really just a picture update... too much to blog about to do it right...

my beautiful girl!

Jackson's "psycho" face

Jackson and I went on a train ride at Stone Mountain. He told me the whole time how much fun he was having, how excited he was, etc. He literally couldn't stop shaking... his whole body was full of excitement.
