Life with The Gregg Girls: May 2012

What a week or two?!?!?!
Seriously, I feel like we have gone to a million things and had a million and two things happen! During these million and two things I had to replace my iPhone (which meant I lost numerous photos and videos of my girls) :( , but life goes on and I will share the photos I did save to my computer.

Davy's Birthday is this Thursday- the last year in his 20's!!!!!!!! So, my parents came down to celebrate with Davy and our family. We went to dinner and spent some fun family time together. We had a super fun and relaxing time.

MiMi and her girls!

Daddy Daycare

I had to go out of town for work Monday through Thursday--oh how I missed my girls {and Davy, too!}! I really thought that it would get easier to leave once they started getting older. NOPE!
Before I dropped McCall off at school on Monday she said "Mommy, can I go to town (she meant out of town) with you, puuuuuuuleeeease?" I almost cried. FOR REAL!
One up side to going out of town is that Davy gets to spend extra time with the girls while I'm gone. AND I can ONLY imagine what happens while I'm gone....... what they eat, what they wear, etc., but when I come home they are always happy, which is what ultimately matters to me :)
While I was gone to Tampa I got some pretty hilarious pictures from Davy and Rachel (our wonderful sitter/one of McCall and Baylor's teachers at school). However, one in particular that I got from Davy made me laugh til I cried.

This is the original......

But then my imagination got the best of me{b/c McCall looked like she was "up to something" and Baylor looked completely scared out of her mind!!} and suddenly these captions came to mind.... :)

Mother's Day Weekend

Mother's Day Weekend started out on Friday afternoon when my sweet Mom arrived in Florence!!! We had originally planned on driving to Easley to see her since she always comes to see us. However, McCall's gymnastics recital happened to fall on the Saturday before Mother's Day. So, she came here. Thanks Mom!!!!

I always look forward to my Mom coming to town- she is always so helpful and the girls cling to her the whole time she is here. It really is just precious to watch. On Saturday morning we headed out to McCall's first gymnastics recital! McCall wasn't originally excited to perform, but after a few minutes, she warmed up to the idea.

After the recital, we let both our Moms (LaLa and MiMi) decide where they wanted to go for lunch and we treated them to an early Mother's Day meal.

Saturday afternoon was filled with a bunch of nothing, but yet SO fun! Mom and I did a little retail therapy while the girls napped with Davy. After they napped, Mom watched Baylor while Davy and I jumped until we couldn't jump anymore with McCall on the trampoline. It was so much fun.... and exhausting! HA.... I think I'm out of shape! It was nice to be able to spend this one on one time with Miss McCall and Davy.

On Sunday morning I woke up to breakfast in bed. Seriously? Have I ever mentioned how great my husband, girls and mom are? Davy and the girls made breakfast for my mom and I, but my mom was just the sweetest. She acted like Mother's Day was all about me- all the while, all I wanted was for her to feel special too. M and B gave my mom(MiMi) her gifts and then we headed off to church and MiMi headed back to Easley :(

After a fantastic lunch we headed home and spent the afternoon with Davy's mom. The girls helped LaLa open her gifts and hung out for a little while. The girls love playing with LaLa!

So, you could say we had a pretty awesome Mother's Day Weekend. I am beyond blessed with great Moms in my life. And I love being a Mom and Wife more than anything in the world. My girls are my world-- and I am so glad He picked me to be their Mommy!

Sisterly love while out to lunch with LaLa and MiMi :)

Not enough words to describe how much I love these two!

Celebrating Our Amber

After we came back from our trip it was time to celebrate Amber (our cousin's girlfriend.... by the way I am super ready for her to officially be part of the family...hint hint, Will!) graduating Nursing School.
We went to her graduation and then went to the lake to celebrate for the weekend.
