Boston Trip

Michael and I went to Boston a couple of weeks ago with his company. We had a blast!! We stayed in the Liberty Hotel. It was a beautiful hotel and one that was renovated many years ago from an old jailhouse to a gorgeous hotel for a cheap 14 million dollars!! All of Boston was beautiful though. The weather was so nice and Michael and I literally walked the streets of Boston the whole week. We also took their famous "Freedom Trail" walking tour that had many historic stops along the way. We also ate at some great restaurants too!! All in all, we had a great trip and hope to go back soon!!

Bunker Hill Monument

The top of the Bunker Hill Monument...239 steps high...I had to go up and I thought I was gonna have the baby along the way...It was a tough climb!!

We ate at the Barking Crab for lunch one day and it was so good.

Michael had seen this restaurant on the TV show, "Man vs. Food". He couldn't try the same platter as the guy on the show, but did manage to eat alot of seafood!!

USS Constitution

Had to stop for some ice cream and the cow was too cute...cheese!!

We ate at the bar "Cheers" one night. It was good, but a beer would have been better than water!! The mugs were cute, so I pretended!!

The park down from our hotel in Beacon Hill

Michael and I at Fenway Park. This was one of our best days in Boston. The Red Sox lost to Toronto, but it was a good game and the stadium and atmosphere were awesome!!

In case you didn't know...

Michael and I are expecting our 3rd child in August!! We are so excited about our newest addition to our family!! We don't know what we are having...it will be a huge surprise in August!!

Small Town and Simple Pleasures

I grew up in a small town and then went off to college. After college, Michael and I got married and moved to Flowood. To Mississippians, Flowood is a busy city. We loved living there and all of the great things it had to offer us as a new family. Michael got a job offer 2 years ago and we packed up our life and moved to Oxford. We love living here and it has really made me realize that I miss that "small" town atmosphere that I grew up around. On a regular basis, I take Whitten for a stroll around the square. Its fun to go to the children's bookstore, stop in a the candy store to get a treat, and we always stop at the church playgrounds to play. There is so much here that makes us all appreciate the small joys of life and I am just so happy living in this small town and sharing those "simple" joys with my children!!

Whitten's Smile...

I was goofing around the other day with my camera and got these sweet pictures of Whitten...too cute not to share!!

Double Decker and Fun Run 2010

Riding the DD Bus
The boys had to sit with Daddy for the ride...I think it's because Michael lets them reach over the sides for the leaves from the trees!!

Vaiden on the rock wall!!

Whitten in the Bounce House...he loves these things!!!!

We started our Double Decker Day with Vaiden running in the Kid's Fun Run again this year. The race is a mile long and he did such an amazing job!! He never stopped running and once he got close to the finish line, I heard his determined huffing and puffing to finish the race strong. I had a crying Momma moment!! He made me realize just how proud I am of him...he is such an awesome kid!! After the race, we had a great day riding the DD bus, shopping, and playing in the kid's section. The weather was beautiful, so it made for such a fun all day event!!
