Rex finally got over his stomach bug. He wasn't 100%, but was much better so the kids and I headed to Georgia for a few days!
Lyla has all of a sudden decided she likes pictures.
She ASKED to have her picture made in front of this display at the Tennessee Welcome Center.
A kind man saw me taking her picture and offered to take one of all three of us.
Lyla and DDaddy climbed to the top of Stone Mountain!
I always remind Dad to have someone get a picture of both of them when he takes her places.
I love this photo.
They took the Skyride down the mountain
DDaddy swinging Rex
Happy boy!
Mimi enjoyed snuggling with Rex
He didn't want to snuggle or sit still, though
Lyla made Rex this "crown."
Rex continues his love affair with Lyla's hair
Serious vs Silly
Mimi & DDaddy gave Jensen her shower gift a day early
Ya think she was excited about her crock pot?
Jensen and Jesse got engaged in July and were married (since this is posting so late) in November!
How is my nephew old enough to be married...and have crock pot? I'm old.
Jensen also got a silver bracelet with her new monogram on it.
Years ago Mom bought them for all the girls in our family (Lyla even has a little heart-shaped one) so it is only fitting that Jensen "join the club."
Justin and Rex playing with shapes
Jared and Lyla playing a duet
Love this expressions!
Handsome guy
Lyla and I were lucky enough to be in town for Jensen's bridal shower
Delicious and beautiful cupcakes
Celebrating the beautiful bride!
Lyla was the youngest shower guest and loved it
Lyla and I went to the park with my good, high school friend, Autumn
Lyla had no problem making friends
Gorgeous girl on a gorgeous day
Autumn and I have been friends for 20 years. We try to get together once every year (or two) and always pick up where we left off. Thankful for her friendship!
Lyla and I continued our Mommy-Daughter Day at LegoLand!
This is the face of a girl who is glad the dark, shooting ride is over
Ready for the 3D Lego movie!
Making racers
I was proud of my colorful design
Lyla's car won. Mine crashed and fell apart.
Our day wasn't over yet...on to SkyView Atlanta!
As I was driving downtown at 9 o'clock on a Saturday night, I was thinking I was crazy
It was totally worth it, though!
Grateful for this one-on-one time with my girl. She is so special, smart, and loving!
Atlanta's Centennial Park
The Atlanta Skyline
We met Anaya and her mom in line and decided to ride together. They were like two peas in a pod!
Lyla was sound asleep on the way home. It was 11 o'clock and had been a full day.
I am so glad we could make this trip and visit with our family. I love them so much and am thankful for the relationship Lyla (and now Rex) has with her Mimi and DDaddy!
