Lake Trip/Mother's Day

Well once again I am way behind on posting. We have been so busy (but a good busy.) Two weekends ago we traveled to the lake for the first time with WK. It was actually our first time traveling with her-I can't believe we stayed home for 3 months!! My mom and the kids and I left on Friday around 4pm and headed to Thomasville to see my Grandparents and dad's side of the family. Their house is only about 15 min away from the lake and almost all of my dad's family lives on one street so when you go you get to see everyone. It is really nice to only make one stop and see the most of the family; especially when traveling with little one's. Wade loves it because they all have big yards and he can run and play. My grandma and aunt both have little dogs and Wade ran and chased those dogs and played for 2 hours. He was in heaven!! I was so happy that WK got to meet everyone and see my grandma again.

WK did great in the car and only got fussy the last 10 minutes of the trip when she got hungry. She is such a angel baby; I just can't get over how easy she is. She is just so fun to be around!! We got down to the lake around 8pm and Wade was SO excited. He loves it there and kept saying " we don't have to go back home today... right Daddy?" We love it too...once we got there Friday we did not get back into our car until Sunday when we left. We take the boat everywhere and just enjoy being lazy. We spent the day Saturday taking the boat to the Marina for lunch, taking naps, and then taking the boat back out again for dinner. We ate at this cute little seafood restaurant across the street from the Marina. Westin Kate loved the boat (it put her right to sleep) and she rode the golf cart for the first time.

Wade of course went to bed late every night (he always stays up late at the lake.) WK is a wonderful sleeper and she slept from 9pm-5am both nights then ate and went back to sleep until 9am. My mom (who never just laid us down awake) was shocked each night because around 9pm we would just lay her down and she puts herself to sleep and never makes a sound. She is just precious. Wade took much longer to put himself to sleep when he was little-we had quite a few nights of crying it out with him!!

Mother's Day was Sunday and WK and I slept in until 9am. We played at the lake that morning and then packed up to head home. Wade was not happy about leaving but he was SO happy when we told him we were going to see Nana, Poppy and Peyton. We went to Josh's Mamaw/Papaw's house for lunch and it was so nice. WK got to meet everyone for the first time and all the kids had so much fun playing. They have lots of land and cows and horse's across the street. Wade had a blast playing with his cousins and seeing the animals. We also got to go see Josh's other Mamaw who has moved into an assisted living place. I am so glad she got to meet WK too. We didn't stay long there because the kids were so loud-you can't help it when you have five kids all 4 and under in a smaller room!! I think she enjoyed watching them run around. We went back to Josh's parents for just a little bit before heading home. We had a great weekend away and got to see so many people. Of course I forgot how much you have to pack for a newborn and when we got home our house looked like a tornado had gone through it. It was a great Mother's Day and I am so glad we got to see both of our moms too!!  I took WAY too many pictures and will do a picture post soon.
