Cuz Time....

My cousin Julie and her husband Nate along with their two girls Abigail (6) and Maddie (4) came in town at the end of last week for a couple days. They have family on both sides that live here in Georgia so it is always a trip that makes complete since to them....knock out two visits in one trip. We had a wonderful visit and wish we had more time. The girls got along SO GOOD...I just wish Carsen could have played with them.

We were at a play gym called "Catch Air"



Abigail was so very sweet to Braylen and Carsen


Cousin Love


Had to throw this one in the bunch....we were getting ready to go to the pool and she comes out of my closet in this....someone is ready for the FALL! :)


The girls minus Carsen....having a ball!

Family Beach trip 2011

Our annual beach trip was a really great time. We had an amazing place that we stayed at...thanks to mom and dad, and the husbands actually stayed the whole trip this time which made it very nice. Bodie and Braylen did very good for the most part....but we had our moments. We also enjoyed some cousin time but wish we had more....below is just a few pics of our trip


Carsen is ALWAYS a mess when she eats...


The Fun Slide at the Condo



Bath time with the cousins


They got along for the most part.....we love our Bodie!


The Bray side of the family....(mom's side...hence BRAYlen)

So excited to be with each other


Playing in the sand but still isn't a fan of the ocean

I was first....

Time has gotten away from me, so I apologize for not keeping everyone updated. But I had to share something that is very special and is MUSIC to my ears. Carsen is saying "MAMA!" It is absolutely the sweetest thing in the world and she definitely is saying it with meaning....she calls me and looks at me or pats me on the leg when she is saying it......talk about MELT YOUR HEART. I had to share this....even though....I have so much other stuff to catch you all up on. I will find time another day to do that, but for now, I was FIRST....she said "MAMA" first! YAY :)


***Side note: she has said other babbling words...and sometimes dada but she has never referred to him as dada or the other babbling noises that she makes....it is all unclear but the MAMA....everything is PERFECTLY clear! :)
