Outside fun

.
Gabriel has a new toy! His very own outside slide. Of course he's too little to enjoy it but he sure did like sliding down with mommy and being caught by daddy!!!

Go UT!! Mommy and daddy are huge fans!

Happy Mother's Day
The next morning we got up and headed to South Carolina. Mom and I went shopping that evening and had a blast. Gabriel got to hang out with his daddy and granddaddy. We spent Mother's Day at my parents church where all the mothers were honored with beautiful roses. It was a very special day. While we were in SC we ate at several delicious restaurants. One of my favorites was Websters in Mullins. It was so wonderful, good ole' home cooking. While we were in SC we also took Gabriel to dad's office to meet his office staff. It was determined then that Gabriel really takes after my dad since they're both bald headed, pot bellied, big eared and bowl legged (per Wes at the NRCS office.)When Wes said that, we all laughed, it's so true. So many people have said he looks like my dad. Gabriel, when you read this when you're older take it as a compliment. Your Granddaddy is an amazing man. If you know my dad, you'll see the resemblance. We had such a wonderful time with my parents. Gabriel got to splash Nana in the tub! We are so blessed. We went home early Thursday morning (left at 3:30 am) and got home around 1:30. It was a long trip but a good one.

Road Trip part I

We had the opportunity to take Gabriel down to South Carolina to see my parents this past week. We weren't sure how he would do in the car, so we spent Friday night in Newport, TN, which is about a 6 hour drive. We left around 8 that morning and took our time driving, actually arriving in Newport around 3:00. Gabriel would sleep for about 3 hours at a time which was good considering he'd been asleep the night before. Newport is a lovely town but not a lot to do. We took Bailey with us so we couldn't do much, even if there was something to do. We got out and drove around the downtown area and found something to eat. We spent most of our time in the hotel watching "Dude where's my car" it'd been forever since we'd watched that movie and I had forgotten how funny it was. We rented a crib from the hotel, it's a good thing I brought Gabriels sheet and mattress pad because the hotel had a full size sheet on this little bitty mattress and it was tucked in around the edges. Not safe at all. He got up about every 2 hours during the middle of the night (which he never does) so that was fun! The next morning we hit the road for South Carolina.
