Swinging....


Papa built the girls a swingset! One on each side for each girl and a nice bench swing in the middle for some family swingin time. We have enjoyed it so much!! Every night after dinner the girls have to go swing.....thank you Papa!

Dentist...


Aubrey's 3rd or 4th time.....all good and no cavities!!
Eliana's first trip! She was not a huge fan. She wouldn't sit still thus the reason for the blurry picture! She wasn't thrilled about the doctor checking out her pearly whites but she did love the giant mirror and toy duck she got to hold! Had to document the first visit though. Here's hoping for a lifetime of good teeth and no cavities! Oh, and no braces like mommy had to have. Twice.
:)
So far so good.

Twilight.....

Twilight viewing party at Leslie's!! We are all huge fans of the Twilight series so we had a special girls movie night in Leslie's media room to watch the first movie of the series!! So much fun and I must say it was soooo much better than I thought it was going to be! The book is still obviously better but the movie was pretty great. You can tell by Hillary's shirt who's team we were all on!! Love the girls nights.....

Spring Break!












For Aubrey's Spring Break this year we headed down to South Florida to visit with Jon's family and had soo much fun! We spent the first few days with Grandpa and went swimming, went to a very cool nature/wildlife/wetlands area that was amazing, and just enjoyed hanging out and enjoying the beautiful weather. (and a few late night ice cream runs...) It was one of Eliana's first pool experiences and she loooved it! She splashed and had a blast. Aubrey jumped right back in to her awesome swimming self and never wanted to get out of the pool. We also enjoyed the flat, beautiful, sidewalk-lined neighborhood of Grandpa's and went for daily walks. Aubrey loved that. We don't get to do that much in the hills of Georgia! She took her time, collected rocks, chased the lizards and played hide and seek with the squirrels.....too much fun. We also got to hang out and have dinner with Uncle Eric, Aunt Sasha, Quinn, Leila, Nancy and Steve Buyer and Uncle Ryan at Grandpa's Clubhouse......delicious food and wonderful company. So good to see everyone!
Our next few days we spent at Mimi's house!! Unfortunately Jon got really sick (picked up a stomach virus Aubrey and I had the week before) and couldn't get out of bed for 2 days.....but the girls and I went to hang with Mimi! We went shopping, watched movies and just enjoyed quality time together at Mimi's house.....She took Aubrey to the Build a Bear workshop and Aubrey made a stuffed unicorn that she is absolutely in love with! (and very sweetly made a duck for her little sister who was home napping!) She took Aubrey to ride the carousel which is one of her top 10 most favorite things to do....She kept us stuffed with yummy food and entertained Aubrey tirelessly for 3 days! And Eliana smiled and posed for tons of pictures with her Mimi and charmed away! We enjoyed our time so much....








Such a fun spring break......2010!
We came home and a few days later got a double treat of our cousins......Aunt Sasha, Uncle Eric, Quinn and Leila stopped by our house on their way home from North Carolina and we got to visit with them again!! It was too much fun hanging out with them and all the kids running around and playing and having a blast. We took them to the Atlanta Zoo and they loved it! Unfortunately my camera battery died but I managed to squeeze in one picture of the kids at the zoo.....they were sitting right next to the Komono Dragon exhibit (which is Aubrey's favorite for some unknown reason!) and one of Uncle Eric and Aubrey.....They are all too sweet.....we love them so much!
