Rachel's Visit - Final Photos

Here are the final photos from our time with Rachel and her kids.  We went to church together on Sunday morning and then we drove them down to Mom's house in Franklin where her next stay was.  We had such a wonderful time with them and it made us miss them more and wish they were closer.....one day!!

Got to see Cassie very briefly while at Mom's so we grabbed a sister picture!

Rachel's Visit - Tea Time & More

We had a rainy Saturday that cancelled soccer games so we all had to get a little creative inside our little house.  The  kids did a great job though and everyone did great!

Sweet Addelyn

Rebecca decided to put on a real tea party for the little girls. 

Sweet Princess Addelyn

After the tea party, it was time for fort building!

Here's the fort, with a little help from the big kids

Rebecca wanted to feed Payne

What funny girls!

Payne was preoccupied with the TV and after 3 of these photos......

Uncle Matthew finally caught on - how funny

Addelyn got stuck between the mattress and the footboard of our bed

Mommy, I'm stuck! (in a sing-songy voice of course)

It ended up taking Uncle Matthew to lift & move the mattress to rescue sweet Adde...

Rachel's Visit - Cousin Fun

During the weekend that Rachel was in town, the weather wasn't so great, so we stayed inside a lot.  But that didn't stop the kids from being creative & having a lot of fun.  Here's how the kiddos entertained themselves!

Christian is thrilled there's another boy cousin!

Rachel's Visit - Fun Outside

On Rachel's first full day in Greenbrier, the big kids were at school and Uncle Matthew was working. So Julianna & I took full advantage of Rachel & the kids. The weather was cool and cloudy but we enjoyed some outdoor fun.

I bought the girls a matching outfit - good thing they had their white t-shirts underneath because it was cool! Aren't they cute?

You gotta have a silly pose!

Addelyn trying!

Addelyn enjoyed the trampoline with Julianna

Big Bounce!

More Fun

Always fun with Aunt Rachel / Mommy on there!




Aunt Katie's Job was to pull in the wagon!

Sliding fun!

Wheeeee

Our neighbor has a hammock between two trees and they let us swing in it. It's a bit woobly but fun for the kids!



Later Addelyn decided she'd try it on her own - this is a series of pictures of her doing it by herself - of course we are hee-hawing at her!! So cute








Julianna & Payne before our walk!!! What fun!
