Girls Trip & Atlanta Wedding

This past week Ansley & I went on a girls trip to New Bern, NC with Candice, Heidi Cay, Sarah, Emma Kate, and Willis. We had a great time going to the pool, the beach, and just hanging out together. I was really impressed with how well Ansley did being around the other girls. She ofcourse loves to be with older kids so she was in heaven. She was definitley worn out by the end of each day and slept great!

Ansley and I headed back a day early to pick up Rob, we then headed to Atlanta for one of my sorority sister's (brandy) wedding. The wedding was great and it was so nice to hang out with all of my pledge class again....It has been a busy last couple of weeks but we are looking forward to our vacation in Harbor Springs.

Here are some pics from this past week.

Butterfly's & Dragonfly's

Kelly asked me a while back to paint some paintings for Madison's big girl room. Of course I said yes, I would so much rather paint her something then for her to drop a lot of money on a painting that I could do for her. Plus it is something neat for Madison to have in her room and to say her Aunt Jenni painted them for her.

Here are the pictures I painted (2 butterfly's and a dragonfly). Believe it or not, I painted them from sketches I drew first. I had to draw the pictures so I could make sure we had all the colors in each painting but they weren't the same either (if that makes sense)...Kel sent me pictures of Madison's bedding and I went from there.

I can't wait to see them in Madison's big girl room :)

4th of July Weekend

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July Weekend! On the 4th, we just hit the pool and then went to a cookout at The Wansley's house. We were all having a great time and then around 6:00 Ansley became really clingy and felt very hot. I took her temp and she was running a 103.2 fever! So our plans changed and we headed home (didn't want to get the other kiddos sick). Thankfully Ansley's fever was back down by the time she went to bed. Needless to say, our 4th of July didn't go according to plan (but when does it ever!?!). We did manage to watch the fireworks on TV.

Ansley was feeling much better and her fever was gone on Saturday. We decided to lay-low and relax so Ansley could get some rest. We then headed over to The Hall's house for another cookout and a great firework show. Ansley DID NOT like the loud noise of the fireworks and had a meltdown around 9:30 so we had to cut our night short.

But, we still managed to have a great weekend spending time with friends. I wasn't able to get a ton of pics but here are a few.

Ansley still hates to get in the water. She just rather sit on the edge and kick her legs in the water or walk around the pool checking everything out.

happy girl

(below) Ansley was obsessed with this car. We may have to get one!

and she loved the scooter too
