Family time!

We had a wonderful, busy, and fun weekend! Early Saturday morning, we packed up and headed to Oklahoma to visit my family. We spent the day at GG and GPa's farm. We had a delicious spaghetti lunch, London and Scarlett got to play outside, and Lily and Jaxon entertained each other. We did attempt to get all the kiddos together for a group pic. This was about as good as we could get!!






My sister and I bought my mom a huge potted plant, and I think she really liked it! My mom does so much and it was nice to be able to celebrate a day about her. Thank you Mom for all your hard work, your support, and your never ending love for us. You are truly the best!






Then on Sunday morning, J took care of the girls and let me sleep in! He made me breakfast in bed and it was so nice! I did get the best gift ever!! I LOVE my new ride.

Now, I can strap in both girls! No more London having to hold Lily in our single stroller! I have had it for a few days now, and the girls like it just as much as me! They keep each other entertained while I run. The other day while we were out, I looked down at them, and they were holding hands! It was the sweetest thing ever.

Then Sunday afternoon, we headed over to Nanna's house. We ate a yummy BBQ lunch and we got to see J's family. It was nice to celebrate Nanna! She is so wonderful to our family. We were glad we got to see her and spend time together!!

It was a busy weekend. We had fun seeing our families and celebrating Mother's Day! I am so thankful for my mom and J's mom. They are both huge blessings to us!
I am thankful for my girls! London and Lily make me so proud to be a mom. They are my little angels. Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I couldn't be more thankful!!

I used to work with your husband at Grant Thornton...and love following your blog as I have a 2 year old daughter and another little girl on the way in 2 weeks. I am having trouble deciding on a double stroller. Are you happy with yours so far? Do you use it for both walking AND jogging? Please let me know your thoughts! Thanks!! :)
