TN to UT then back to TN


So from July 16-22, I went to Utah to visit my sister Brittany, who just had a baby!! I was so excited about this, because it is my first time being an Aunt and I am just thrilled to death!! Caden was absolutely adorable by the way. Vicki, my mother in law was gracious enough to take the kids, I felt bad when I left though, guilt is a better word for it, I wish that I would have brought Owen. Oh well, we had a fun time anyways, we went to tons of restaurants, did tons of shopping, it was just fun fun fun! I also got to attend Caden's blessing, which was awesome, here is a pic of the proud parents! I really enjoyed spending time with Brittany and Cameron and I absolutely adored holding Caden. He is the skinniest baby I've ever seen but he eats all the time! He is starting to smile and sometimes it seems as though he is going to bust out laughing. While I was in Utah, I decided to buy the book Twilight, by Stephenie Meyer, so that I could have something to read on the way home, I bought it friday evening and by the time I was ready to go to bed that night, I had already read over half of it! I couldn't put it down!! I had to try SOOO hard to not read it that weekend, so I could have it to read on the plane. It was very hard. So yeah, I definitely recommend this book it was soo good. Anyways, I was soo ready to get home to see my babies and my husband! I missed them so much. I flew in at Midnight and Chad picked me up, it was soo good seeing him, The next day Vicki brought my babies home. Hallie was so excited to see me, Owen on the other hand, not so much. He was mad at me, he wouldn't smile at me, he wouldn't kiss me, he just sat there, (he did this when he was about 5 months old we left him for an overnight trip). So at first I thought that it was just me, but my mom said something about it as well, she started throwing the ball to him and he'd throw it back to her, then she tried turning him to face me so that he could play ball with me, he would turn right back around and face her and throw it to her. Finally that evening I was upstairs and I heard this really loud scream, I ran downstairs and picked him up and starting soothing him, he finally reached up and kissed me and hugged me and said AWWWW!! I was so happy. haha..oh he walks everywhere now..so, i missed that transition. Anyways, thanks Britt and Cam for letting me come and stay with you and Thank you Vicki for watching my kids (and to everyone that helped her) and Thank you Chad for letting me go, i know it was hard and you missed me so much! ;) I'll post pics later ~Bonny

Isn't he the cutest, yeah I bet you wish you had a nephew this cute, well ya don't, so get over it hehe :)

Owie's Birthday



So, Owen got to have two Birthday parties b/c we were at the beach on his birthday, so we had a party there, and then we had another party at our house so my family could come! For his party at home we had a pool party and Charles got Owen this HUGE playground ball, so we played kick ball, it was SO fun, I felt like I was in elementary school again. I want to play again just thinking about it..haha. Anyways, here are some pics from both Parties! P.S. So Chad was able to get this free popcorn maker for helping to build some bleachers for a football team. Owen LOVES popcorn, so i went out of the Kitchen for a second and then came back and there was Owen sitting in the popcorn maker..haha..


Family Pictures


When we went to the beach we had our family pictures made, Chad's brother, Charles, took most of the pictures, I think he did a really good job, I took a few as well, here are a few of my favorites.









A Dreamy Vacation


We went to Myrtle Beach from June 28-July 5. We stayed in a condo with Chad's parents, siblings, cousins, etc. There was about 14 people there. We had a blast!! I absolutely LOVE the beach (I could stay out there ALL day)! Hallie really loved it too, she loved playing in the sand and the waves. Owen really didn't like it the first couple of times, but Granddavid set up a little baby pool and a bunch of toys under a huge umbrella and he really had fun after that!! Chad and I got to go parasailing for the first time! I was so scared, but it was more peaceful then it was thrilling. It was amazing. We saw tons of jelly fish. It went by way too fast for me. Anyways, it was a very relaxing time for all of us and we were able to spend tons of time with Chad, which doesn't happen all that often! Here are a few pics from the beach!!
