Rimini Rayabelle turns 10 months old


This was a two woman job....We took tons of pictures with high hopes we would get just one good one.  Rimini is growing up so fast.  She is on the verge of walking.   We love her so much!














Nashville Trip 2012

Our trip to Nashville was a lot of fun. It was the very first trip we have ever been on with out a kid or me being pregnant!  The convention had over 8,000 attendees and was held at a 2,700 room hotel.  We enjoyed our hot quiet dinners, sleeping through the night, privacy in the bathroom, uninterrupted showers, and staying out past 7:30pm.  Our favourite night was our trip to the Grand Ole Opry.

 Charlie Pride was our favourite act.

Our Trip To Colorado


In classic Hick Chick fashion, the girls were very sick for 80% of the trip.  Which left Oma and Grandpa Joe housebound while Travis and I were in Tennessee for four days.  Grandpa Joe, "Yea, the baby did great as long as your mom or I were holding here all day long!"  Well Grandpa Joe, welcome to my life.... They did an amazing job nursing the girls back to health.  I am not sure my mom liked getting up all hours of the night but you wouldn't know it.  Not the way you want to spend your precious time with your grand kids but they seemed to love it anyway.  The girls made cookies, chocolate covered strawberries, read stories, popcorn and dora movies, played games, art projects, jello, Jaya worked with Grandpa Joe in the wood shop, and with 3 days left out of our two week trip they were well enough for Chuck E Cheese and a trampoline gym!

 We are very grateful to these two for watching all three while we were in Tennessee.  Thank you!

 Even Elynn agrees with me...
 Just wants to be part of the action at all times...
 Who here looks like they are having the most fun?
Why can't Elynn just smile like she is sane?
 Me...haven't ridden in a long time due to pregnancy. This seemed like a safe place to start...
 Me lovin on my Elynn Elizabeth

Grandpa Joe was the official ticket counter...The 20 cent prize at the end is always the best part!
