Dog Days of Summer

I can't believe that I'm not "working" right now and yet I still can't seem to find the time to update this blog more frequently! Between hearing "MOMMY" 500 times a day and never putting Anna down the time is just flying by!
We have also been on the go a bit lately. Last weekend Reese turned 1! I cannot believe how fast the year has flown by. It seems like only yesterday that Brooke, Kristen, and I were meeting in Atlanta for our girls night out + Divine Consignment sale for the kids. The very next day...Kristen went into labor! Happy first birthday Reese! She is such a cute baby and we had a great time at her party. I don't know that I've ever seen another one year old get so many presents! Anna slept in her stroller the ENTIRE party and Dalton had a fab time playing cornhole...lol!

After the party we went down to Dublin for the weekend to visit Zack's grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins. It was hilarious trying to get down there because I had forgotten how it is to travel with a newborn. First of all we had to pull into a library parking lot for me to nurse Anna which took about 30 minutes. Then I decide to change her diaper. I get her all changed and back in the car seat and I hear a diaper explosion. So I pull her out and sure enough there is poop all over her cute little outfit. I take the outfit off and am cleaning her up while she is laying on my seat and then she starts peeing all over the place. Two outfits and an hour later we finally pull out of the parking lot to go to Dublin.
That said, we had a great time. It was wonderful to see Zack's family and had been too long. Dalton had a BLAST with all of his cousins even though he had a very hard time remembering their names and kept asking them who they were. LOL. I had a nice lesson in keeping my mouth shut as I almost freaked out watching my little 3 year old jump on the trampoline and ride around in a golf cart with an 8 year old driving it. As Zack said, "Come on Jen, when in Rome...." Hmmm...

We have been trying to get out and enjoy these last HOT days of summer. This week we found a watermelon in our overgrown garden and had a fun time sitting on the patio and digging in together. Zack and Dalton went up to NC this weekend to celebrate his mom's birthday and Anna and I stayed home while my friend Stacy from high school flew in to visit us from DC. Stacy is one of those friends who no matter how long it has been, we can always pick up right where we left off. We did a lot of shopping, a lot of eating, and a lot of talking! It was a great weekend.
Maybe I can find time to post again before I turn 30...Oh yeah...that's only 5 days away!!!!!!!
