MIA ;)

 I have been MIA from the blog b/c I took the kids to Memphis and we just got back today :)  Just one of the luxuries of being a stay-at-home Mama :)  Sadly, John had to work and so he missed out on the fun.  We really missed him too!

 Opa reading to Jackson :)

 I brought our bike trailer and we went on a bunch of great bike rides!  Memphis is really flat, so it's a nice ride!

 Bailey took her 1st steps at the pool while we were there!! 

 We took him to the Memphis Children's Museum and he absolutely LOVED it...and so did we!!! 

 Trying to be like his Great Uncle David!!

 Bailey and Opa dancin' in the disco room!!

 Jackson and Nana dancin' too!! We did lots of dancing while we were in Memphis :)

 I can't get enough of watching them play together...it's just so darn cute!!

 This picture looks worse than it really is ;)  That airplane is actually flying in front of her...not right at her head ;)  But, they had these stations where you could make a paper airplane and then shoot it with the thing my Dad is standing behind...it was soooo fun once we got the hang of it!

 This was one of my favorite things!!! You could get up on a stage and watch yourself on a big screen like you were in a music video!  We were dancing to Justin Bieber's "Baby, baby, baby..ooohhh" (which I had stuck in my head the rest of the trip!!". They also had Beyonce's "single ladies", Michael Jackson....

 All of us...we look like the Partridge Family! LOL

 This is us dancing/singing to Beach Boys.  Jackson was SO SERIOUS, like he is with many things.  He never strayed from character and never put that microphone down! hahahaha

 Here he is in the grocery store shopping and then checking himself out!

 We got in this plane and Jackson said, "like Daddy's plane!".

 Nana has A LOT of angels around her house and Jackson was fascinated by them and literally talked about them NON-STOP the ENTIRE time! hahahaha  over, and over, and over...."where's the angels Mama?"

 Opa had a great idea to go to a go-cart place near their house and it was a blast!  Look how serious he is!  He LOVED every min. of it, but you would never know by the look on his face ;)  He asked & got to ride them 3 times :)

 Playing games with Opa at the arcade

 He loved getting tickets and picked out a couple of cute prizes (thanks to Nana playing her favorite ski-ball!) Of course the next morning he requested to see every prize he won :)

Mrs. Hill even got to come over and visit with us too!  We had so much fun!  It really was like being on vacation.  I never did a single bit of laundry, we watched Poirot (yes, I am a nerd..it is one of my FAVORITE detective shows!!!) every single night, I never cooked, we went to the pool almost everyday, we went to soooo many fun places, and I just got to relax.  If your wondering how the 6 hour drive went with 2 kids under 2 by myself....well...it was GREAT!  We stopped 2 times on the way there and only 1 time on the way home (both ways I let them play at a fast food playground for 1 hr).  I was very prepared with tons of treats for Jackson and a basket of toys & bottles to pass back to Bailey as she got fussy! :)  We will miss them so much!!
