Vacation Post...Finally!

So I know we are getting close to the end of August and we actually went on vacation the last week of July, but that is the reality of the first trimester! Below is a slideshow of pictures my mom took. I wanted to write about vacation too though because it was overall a great week.

Probably the biggest bummer is that Jeremy wasn't able to go with us. He was at camp again this year. But, the girls and I enjoyed having time with family. I was sick! I was pregnant, nauseous can't eat sick and I also had a terrible cold. I was coughing like crazy! So I was thankful for the extra help from my parents and sister.

The beginning of the week my brothers and their girlfriends were there. They took the girls out on the boat and then went to "The Strip" to let them play ski ball. The girls LOVE their uncles. Its really fun getting to do all the activities I did on vacation with my girls. We swam, went golf ball hunting, went shopping, went to Minor Mike's, went put put golfing, and had lots of fun. Uncle Kit even helped Grace feed the birds/squirrels like we used to. After that if you were caught eating the mixed nuts you got a stern lecture on how that was for the squirrels from Grace!

The rest of the week it was just us, my mom & dad, and my sister. The girls enjoyed spending more time with Aunt Jo Jo. They enjoyed having her as "part of our family" this summer. I was only able to go to one store at the outlet mall but got a lot of cute clearance items for the girls at the Children's Place outlet. My mom bought this super cute white baby hat. She says it is Jeremy's "insurance." That if she bought it we would surely have a boy and not need it. We will see...

This year the girls did some of the exact same games at Minor Mike's Here is a picture from last year and this year. What a difference a year can make. I wonder if Faith will have more hair by next year? Its a good reminder how fast they are growing and changing!

Look how grown up they are, compared to last year!
