Our wonderful weekend started Friday around noon when McCall made it to my home from Houston to see her newest nephew and be here for his blessing. Not only was it going to be blessing day but it happened to be Rylee's birthday. So we got to party all weekend!
Rylee immediately fell in love with her aunt like I've never seen her love anyone before. Lucky for us McCall was staying at our house for most of the stay so Ry got to even have her sleep over in her trundle bed. Lucky McCall too!
My beautiful mommy and baby (they called each other to make sure they coordinated their outfits).
Aunt McCall and Austin
Rylee decided she wanted a "pirate princess" party including a trip to Pirate Island. Saturday we headed there with Grandma Sue, McCall, Nana, Kaisa and our family.
Rylee, Kaisa and Garrett
The roller coaster simulator - wahoo!
Of course Garrett and Jon spent most of their tokens on a hunting game. But look at the joy on BOTH of their faces.
Ry enjoying her birthday sundae.
Us adult girls had a skee-ball contest. Mom won. I lost.
One pooped out little girl.
Sunday morning we were able to bless Austin James and it was such so special. Jon gave him a beautiful blessing and Austin was even pleasant so I could hear! We love Austin and couldn't be more grateful to have this happy, healthy little guy in our family.
At least we're all looking at the camera!
My cute boys!
Of course we got to celebrate Tootsie's big 4th Birthday! I can't believe how fast she's grown. It doesn't seem that long ago that it was her blessing day. We were able to have our families over for lunch and combine blessing and birthday so it was a great day for all of us.
Rylee chose Raspberry Angel Food cake for her party and it was delicious. Thanks Mom and McCall for making them.
Isn't she cute! This is one of the few smile I got from her. Silly girl! I think she was so overwhelmed with all the attention she didn't know quite what to do.
Cousins!!!
My mom and sisters!
Daddy and his little dude having a moment.
My siblings and parents came over Sunday night and we just sat around eating popcorn and visiting and it was such a great time. I love them all soooo much. I truly am blessed.
Monday morning McCall took Garrett to school and said good-bye.
We had to plan one last outing so on our way to the airport we met my aunt and cousin at Little America for lunch which was so fun. We used up every last minute we could. Fortunately we'll see McCall this summer...thank goodness or Rylee and Garrett would be crying indefinitely.
