It's Been A While......

So, it's been a while since I've blogged, so I have a lot of catching up to do! 

I went to my mom's house a few weeks ago, and brought my niece back with me so she could help us celebrate Megan's 5th birthday! (I'll be blogging about her party soon!)
Saturday night, we went on a family walk through the neighborhood. 
These girls are going to be lots of trouble when they grow up! They're only 6 weeks apart, and they are a hot mess together! 
And since everyone was tired of walking, they all hopped in the stroller! 
Sunday morning we loaded up and went back to my mom's house. DJ drove separately, so he took Gretchen and I ended up with Addy, Megan, and our Ya-Ya!
The girls fell asleep on our way down, so we ended up eating a later than planned lunch. We stopped at the original What-A-Burger in Russellville, Ar. and splurged on milk shakes, french fries, chicken nuggets, hot dogs, and burgers! 
It was delish!

Monday was a sad day for us, as we celebrated my grandmother's homecoming to Heaven. 
I put the girls in blue, since it was her favorite color. 
And before heading to the cemetery, we took a great-grandchild photo! (With two grandmothers of course) My mom has all granddaughters, and my aunt and uncle have all grandsons! 4 girls and 4 boys. 
Monday evening, we said good-bye to DJ (and Bailey), as they headed back to Tulsa so DJ could work. 
And since school was out for summer, we stayed behind to spend the week with my mom and family. 
My parents have 40 acres in central Arkansas, and my brother and his family live on their land. We spent lots of time walking back and forth between their houses, which helped me get my FitBit steps in!
On Tuesday, we celebrated Megan turning 5!!!!! We ran a few errands before stopping at Chick-Fil-A for lunch, play time, and ice cream. 
There's not a better way to celebrate turning 5 than with ice cream cones!
Addy got a new pair of Natives for summer! We found a local shoe store that carried Natives, so I didn't have to order online! Addy picked out the pair with all of the colors!
Before heading back to my mom's house, we stopped at the park to play, and Megan chipped her tooth! Her top tooth is all snagly now!
And on Wednesday, I had lunch with a friend, stopped in to Panera to get some work done, and then I drove by the chapel where DJ and I got married 10 years ago. 

Our week in Arkansas was off to a pretty good start!
