Centerville

We had a blast in C-ville, especially when Chris and Cheryl were staying there too.  Luce and Luke had so much fun together, especially on the trampoline.

...and the gutter!  I used to do this all the time when I was little and I loved it so how could I say no?

She's so happy when she's wet and dirty.  That our little ragamuffin.

We went to Mike and Mandy's to celebrate Mom and Mike's birthday (they share the same birthday).  Here is little miss Addison, my newest niece.  She is such a sweet little thing, she's so content just to sit and watch everyone.  She reminds me of a little doll.  I love her onesie too.

A gnarly storm rolled in...

The kids went outside after it calmed down a bit and ran around.  This is my niece Anna giving Lucy and push.

Aren't those clouds mean-looking?

And the clear sky in the opposite direction.

The kids dried off on the driveway.

The two red-heads posing.  Devan and Max.

Lucy had to get in on the fun too.

One day we visited our old neighbors, the Hulls.  Nate is doing his intern year in Utah and then they're heading to the Mayo Clinic for the next 4 years.  We miss them sooo much.  They were the best neighbors.
Here is cute little Jett pushing his truck.

I love all the kids faces in this one, ha ha ha

They live at Jen's parents house and they have the coolest backyard I have ever seen!  Complete with a playhouse, huge garden, greenhouse, and a zip line!  This is how Jett rides the zip line, he loved it!

Reese pulled Lucy around the yard with this jumprope and Luce was loving every minute of it.

Reese showed us how the pros do it.

I gave it a go, it was really fun!

Isn't she a beauty?  I love little Reesey.  She used to call down from their balcony when I'd be walking by and ask me where I was going and what I was doing.  It was too funny.

Ba bye Hulls!  Cutest family ever.

I saw my bosom friend(we both love Anne of Green Gables) Melanie!  Mel and I grew up together.  We were next door neighbors and best buddies for as long as I can remember.  I sure love this girl.

It was fun to see her and her little boy Ben.  He is hilarious!  He is a mini Mel for sure, with red hair.

Love the cheeser!  And he is a little performer.  He loves music and he will do the funniest little dance for ya.

I got a little clip of it...

Tee he he, too stinkin' cute!
Lucy pretty much lived on the trampoline at my parents house.  Someday when we have a yard maybe we can get a trampoline...maybe...

Her hair did crazy things with all the static she built up from being on the tramp.  Ha ha, love it!

I saw Kaylene!!!  My long lost friend that I haven't seen in 2 years!  Yikes, what's wrong with us?  Oh wait, we live 2,000 miles away from each other.  That's what was keeping us apart.  Here she is showing off her new ride...isn't it awesome?  I'm really really loving the black rims.  The inside is cool too.

We had a nice little chat at one of our old high school hangouts, Wendys.  Tee he he.  She told me the guy she's dating now loves hamburgers so she was craving one.  Oh Klean, you beautiful lady you!

Oh and I cut my hair.  You saw pictures of that already.  Isn't that pile of hair gross?  It could totally make a nice full wig.  Apparently I have thick hair.

We played with Jen & her little boy Drew at her parents pool.  I miss my Jenny Penny.  She was a college roommate and we got to be good friends.  It was so fun seeing old friends.  The best part about it was that it feels like we've barely missed each other.  You just pick up right where you left off, even though it had been a year since I'd seen her.  That's the best thing about good friends.

Lucy thought it was fun to splash Jen.

We got some shave ice from a little trailer parked by the Subway in C-ville.  Not too shabby.  Luce was in heaven!

My favorite part was the gravity chairs you could lounge in while you ate.  Oh and the shave ice was pretty awesome too.  Not quite like the stuff in Hawaii, but close.

We went to Bryan and Jamie's house to play.  It was the first time I'd seen their new house, it was beautiful! It will be so fun to have one someday.  I loved their big yard in the back.  They were setting up a tent and the girls and my bro were going "camping".  I loved doing that when I was a kid.
Here is Jaycee being a silly...

Their playroom was unreal!  It was called "Pixie Hollow".  Isn't that painting outrageously amazing?

Cute Brooklyn posed for me...

I love all the hanging butterflies and houses.  In the bottom left corner you can see a snail shell and Tinkerbell is riding on its back.  This is a little girl's dream playroom.

Here is my newest nephew, Boston.  He is sure a cute little guy.

The next day we got back on the airplane and 4 hours later we were greeted by this handsome young man...

I barely recognized him!  He cut his hair too, doesn't it look good?  I love it!  It's fun that he wears his dress clothes every day now that he's started rotations.  Trey is all growed up now. :)
