Spring Break 2010!!!!!!

This year for Spring Break, Brad, Gwen, and I headed to Chicago for a visit with the Caseys and McKenzies and for a special birthday party!!!! Bubba turned 60!!!!! We arrived Saturday evening and played with Bubba, Gammy, Erin and Lilly...
"This is so much fun!!!! I love playing with you Lilly!"
"Say cheese Lilly and then hold it--our Mommies take A LOT of pictures!"
"Rock-a-bye baby on the tree top..."

Gwen adopted some babies who used to be Auntie Kelley's. They were getting lots of love and attention Kel! She also discovered the Slinky!!!! With these moves she may be in the next Olympics!
A slinky. A slinky. Everybody loves a slinky! (Or at least watching Gwen play with one)

Sunday we hung out and played with toys and then we had a Bubba and Gwenie Birthday Party!!!!! Gwen was able to get all dolled up in her Birthday dress again and celebrate her birthday again! Bubba was also celebrating his 60th birthday that day!

"Ta-Da!!!! Gwen modeled her Birthday Dress for Godmama Erin
Bubba and Gwenie getting ready for a party!!!! Whose birthday is it????? Bubba and Gwenie's!
"Bubba, go to Cupcake Mountain, Sneezing Snake Lake, and then to Play Park" (Gwen starred in her very own Dora movie!)
My little niece and my big sister!!!
After all the excitement of Sunday, Gwen was ready for some more fun!!!! She started Monday with some Buzz Time...
"What do you see Buzz?"
Then we headed to the store to get a suitable toy for riding. Since last Christmas, Gwen has tried to ride the Fisher Price shopping cart she has at Bubba and Gammy's house. This of course isn't the greatest idea, but that hadn't stopped her yet. So, as a deterrent we wanted to offer a better choice--a car! Now take Daddy to the airport!
"Ready or not, here I come!!!!! This is a whole lot better than the shopping cart!!!"

Tuesday was a lazy day, but a fun one. Wednesday we headed home, driving all by ourselves! Thank goodness for movies and naps!
"What? My hair? You don't like it?"

Now home, we are just hanging out and enjoying the time off. Let's just hope the rain stays away and the sun keeps shining!
"Look what I can do!!!!"
Tonight (Friday) Gwen had her first bowl of soup! She was actually given the liquid part of soup today and she loved it. That bowl was completely empty by the end of dinner! Gwen is definitely feeling better!
