busy busy busy!


Life has been C.R.A.Z.Y. around here...  good crazy, but crazy.  Last week the boys and I spent the week with my parents at their house in the mountains, which was SO much fun.  David had to be out of town for a week for work, so we decided we'd get out of here for a little break as well.  We had such a great time... we went sight-seeing and saw 3 different waterfalls, played outside in their fun yard, went to see farm animals (there was a 5-day old baby goat and a llama!), ate lots of  yummy food, including ice cream EVERY day.  Yes, every day.  I'm going to have to go on a diet after all that good eating! Thanks so much, Mom & Dad, for giving us such a fun week!!! So, after getting home late Friday night, I left again the next morning to head to "girls weekend" at a friend's lake house.  There were 6 of us that left our kids, jobs and responsibilities at home for a day and a half.  It was so much fun to be able to just relax and sit around, eat lots of food (more reason for me to diet!), lay out in the sun, ride jet-skiis, and just have a good time without having to look at the clock constantly or change diapers. :)  I got home on Sunday from the lake, then I get word the next day that my brother and sister-in-law are going to have their baby on Wednesday!  I am officially an aunt, and I am loving it!  Anna-Kate Simmons was born Wednesday just before noon, weighing 9 lbs. 12 oz, 22 inches.  Yes, you read that right! :)  I already feel the connection and just know that we are going to have so much fun together!  Anna-Kate is going to love coming over to Uncle David and Aunt Ashley's house.  So, that's what's been going on around here... we've been busy busy!  I was planning on doing separate posts for all of those events, but I just don't think I have the time for it... so instead I'll just post a few pics on this post from the past couple of weeks.  Enjoy!
                                  My new niece!!!
                                     Cousins :)
Anderson's new thing... Yes - pulling up before 7 months of age!  I am in for it.
                                Love the dimple!
Poor Anderson fell asleep like this the other day... he was EXHAUSTED!

                                   Sooo pretty...
   Oma, the boys and I.  I like Camden's fast-motion pose.

Is this not the cutest thing ever?  I did not even tell them to do this.

oh my goodness, i love all of it!

Anna Kate is just precious- and you weren't kidding about that blonde hair!

LOVE the pictures of you all at the waterfall, i bet Cam loved it!

A's string bean legs CRACK me up in the jumper- and at the tv. can't believe that little thing is pulling up already!

the pic of A in the jumper AWAKE looks a lot like Camden when he was that age- add a bunch of hair and maybe you'll see it. I'm picturing the picture of David holding Cam at Chels' old place in front of the fan- red shirt, crazy hair, mouth wide open...

love it girl, keep 'em coming!

Anderson's closeup with the dimple pic looks just like Cam! Missed y'all.. you would be proud of your hubby. Saw him dropping A off last Sunday at the nursery and he didn't even forget the diaper bag! Can't wait to see you guys SOON :)
