Final pictures in AL







What great pictures we all make! I had loads of fun with ya'll! Thanks for taking such good care of me! We love you all and will see you soon!

Last day in AL


















Once Brian and I got back from Chicago and before leaving AL, we had pictures made of Everett and Isabella and then we went to lunch at Cracker Barrel. Everett got a kick out of Brian. Brian would play games with him with his hands and Everett would just laugh. Isabella had lots of fun sitting next to Mimi and Grann.

Fun times in AL

















At the top, Isabella is playing (more like stacking) checkers at Cracker Barrel. This is one of her favorite places to eat! On the bottom, Isabella and Everett (her other cousin) played tea together. They had so much fun! Also while in AL, Isabella went to the zoo with her Aunt JoJo and they had a blast! They watched the seal show and Isabella was so intent and focused on watching the show! She loved the train ride at the zoo and playing in the water splash area. Thanks Aunt JoJo, Grann, and Papa for watching her, showering her with loved, and having lots of fun! We love you!

Play Time at Grann and Papa's con't...





On this day, Isabella entertained Mimi and had tea with Grann. She was waiting to go swimming, but didn't get to because of the lightining. She had fun in her swim suit though!

Play time at Grann and Papa's!




While mama and daddy went to Chicago for a few days, Grann and Papa B kept Isabella and boy did they have A LOT of fun! On the left, Isabella had lots of fun playing with playdough. On the right, she loved the chips and salsa at the Mexican food resturant. She loves the chips ans salsa when we go at home too. She loves spicy like mama and daddy:)!!

For real, last MN picture!




While at the zoo, we rode the train. Both Bryson and Isabella looked too cute not to take a picture. Despite the heat, they enjoyed the train ride!


Last MN pictures




We had so much fun while in MN! On the top, Auntie Sara got down on the floor and played and Isabella took it as a chance to sit on her back. At bottom, the cousins were enjoying some oreos before we left for the airport. We love you all and thanks for the fun times!


Fun at the Zoo!




On the top, Isabella enjoyed watching the turtles and on the bottom she enjoyed riding while Jackson did te hard part-pushing! We had fun at the zoo even though it was hot!


Going for a Ride

Uncle Jon hooked up the little trailer on the back of the mower, turned off the blade, and took the kids riding. They loved it! He was extra slow and extra careful!!

Water Fun!







Auntie Sara got this really cool water fun pool at Wal-Mart and the cousins had a blast in it! Isabella would slide in off the side-like a mermaid!

Taking Care of Babies



Isabella brought a baby for Bryson to play with. Here, they are both making sure they are happy and Jackson is playing with his train on the floor!

Gooseberry Falls State Park, MN







Because of all the rain and snow melt, there was a lot of water and it was flowing fast! It was a beautiful thing to see!





More Aquarium Fun







On the left, Auntie Sara, Isabella, and Jackson were all watching the bird. Auntie Sara waved bye bye to him. On the left, Isabella loved looking out the window at the water. We did that a lot!

Aquarium Fun





Isabella, Jackson, and Bryson all had fun playing in the water at the Aquarium!

Finally in Minnesota watching Kitty!

This was such a cute picture that I couldn't resist taking of the three cousins! They were all looking out the window at Kitty! Jackson is in the red pajama pants, Bryson is in the middle and Isabella of course is on the right! They would look at Kitty from this position often! Both Isabella and mama were so glad to finally be in MN after the day we had before at the airports!

Finally! On our way to MN!

I am so big! I finally get my own seat! I love watching my movies on my portable DVD player! I can't waith to get to MN to see Auntie Sara, Jackson, Bryson and Uncle Jon! Isabella's mama was excited to finally be on the way after waiting several hours in the Jackson airport to leave for Chicago. Little did I know then that we would be waiting several more hours in Chicago praying to get on a flight as stand by fliers.

Pictures with Brian's cousins





On the left is a picture of Isabella with a very pregnant Morgan!! On the right is Isabella with one of Brian's other cousin, Haley who stopped by to see us. We had a blast! Thanks Morgan and Matt for letting us stay the night!

Visit with cousins in Jackson, MS




Before heading out the Minnesota on the 21st of June, we all stayed with Brian's cousin Morgan, her husband Matt and two daugthers in Jackson, MS on the 20th. On the left, Isabella was playing ball with Ann Hartley and Ella Kathyrn, but turned away as I was clicking the picture. On the right, Isabella was taking a bath with Ann Hartley. They both had a blast in the tub!




Father's Day 2011



Before heading to church the morning of Father's Day, Isabella and I gave Brian his gift. A book called "My SuperDad." Brian's face is the face on the body of the superhero in the book. Its a book about all the things a daddy does for his child. He enjoyed it and Isabella did too! We love you!
