Running Our Race

On a last second decision....I decided to fly out to L.A. to see my cousin's graduation from highschool. My mom and brother decided to go and I knew I would see some aunts and cousins...so I thought Caroline and I have to go! I hate to be left out of any fun. Ha! We had a great time. It was quick (3 days), but perfect. My grandmother got to meet Caroline for the first time and well as several aunts, uncles, and cousins. Besides going to the graduation, we mostly just hung out with the family and relaxed. It was perfect. Veronica....the graduate! Here is my crazy cousin Nicky. He and my brother are the same age. He is always up for anything and a ton of fun! Aunt Susan (Nicky's mom) having a moment with Caroline on the hammock. Susan came out right after Caroline was born to help us out. It was a lifesaver. Here is Uncle Cameron pushing Caroline to our picnic spot in Santa Monica. Caroline tried avocados for the first time and LOVED them.....she is a Cali girl at hear...

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have posted.... This summer has FLOWN by and I just can't seem to get caught up. So, for the next couple of nights, I am going to do a post each night to try and catch up our summer. Just the highlights! Which---are a lot! ha! Emma Grace turned 12 waaaaay back on May 21st. We had a fun slumber party for her on June 4th. We went with "beginning" of summer theme and ended up with a lot of flamingo's...go figure! It was so fun! "Happy Birthday Emma Grace" EG and I made some fun cake pops. They were so good and yummy. We of course had to have a dance off... We had a great time. I sent Caroline, Brett and Christopher downstairs to have their "own" party and I stayed upstairs with all the girls. They are so crazy and funny. We made individual pizzas and had our favorite strawberry cake from Edgar's Bakery in Birmingham. De-o-lish!
