Road Trip Part II

Well Wednesday we just hung around the house to rest up from our few days of travel. Thursday we headed to Texarkana to surprise Gigi at work..It was St. Patricks Day so you know we had to dress the little Diva up in green so no one would pinch those cute little cheeks :)

We were also waiting for Aunt Amanda to come into town and we were so excited when she did...we headed over there as soon as she called us! She was a little fussy but we still got a decent pic...thanks Clara for taking it!!

Then Friday was an even bigger day...Lyla had her two aunts Lindsey & Amanda, cousin Adeline, and Brookie come over to visit her...she was VERY excited! I think I was more excited than her though. She had not wanted to take a nap all day but as soon as Aunt Lindsey go those momma hands wrapped around her and rocking she passed smooth out..it was so sweet it just made my heart melt. It makes me sad that we don't all live closer to each other so we can do this more than just a few times a year.

Adeline checking out Lyla..I LOVE this picture. She is going to be a great big sister come September.
Lindsey's MIL and Adeline's Tiny made these SUPER sweet outfits for the girls and we just had to get their pictures made in them. It was a struggle getting them to look at the camera at the same time and sit still but I think it turned out pretty cute! Another reason I wish we lived closer so they could see each other more and grow up playing together and being the best of friends like all of us were. (Maybe one day)
We had a house full by the time it was said and done...Whittington and Momma Jill joined us and then rolled in Jason, Papa and Granny. It was great that we all got to see one another and visit for the afternoon I hated to see everyone leave. We hadn't gotten a picture with Papa and Lyla yet so he held her for just a split second so that I could get a pic of the two of them.

We went to eat with granny and papa that night and then got up early Saturday morning to head to Arkansas. We had a really good time and was glad that Jason's side of the family got to get some Lyla loving as well. Here she is all dressed up for Sunday church...she did great again!
Jason's grandma was so ready to see Lyla...I thought this picture was super cute of the three of them :)

We also had another big time when I went to town trying to pull Kaydon's tooth..it was pretty lose and it took a lot of screaming, some pulling and FINALLY I got it out..ha! I thought she was going to be mad once I finally just yanked it out but I think she was more in shock than anything..ha!

Jacob, Kim & Asher just built this beautiful new home and were sweet enough to let us drag our entire house in there for the few days we stayed. Kim was an amazing hostess as she cooked dinner, lunch and breakfast for us...Jason didn't know what to think about that as he does not get that kind of treatment here at home :)
Thank ya'll so much for letting us stay.

We headed back Tuesday morning and Jason came straight back to Houston to pick up Zeus and he thought he was going to have to go to work that night. Thankfully he didn't and he was here Wednesday afternoon when we got home to help unload my packed vehicle. We had a pretty good trip back to Houston...we left in the morning this time because she takes much better naps and it happened to work out a lot better. We only had to stop once this time instead of three. We had a great trip and were very thankful we got to see so many family and friends. We were exhausted and glad to be home no traveling for us for awhile.
We went to the doctor today but we will write about that tomorrow when we do her 2 month update..She is growing so fast!
