and we're off....... First stop is The Nevilles

So this end of weekend and beginning of week is going to be pretty busy. We left today for Birmingham, and shortly had plans at the Neville's house for dinner. Clint and Tripp went to high school together for a while, and when we can we try to all get together. This time we made it and Jon and Abby Becker made it, so we had a nice little visit. Now we were super brave, got up, went to church, came home, packed the car, and loaded up.... We totally thought the kids were going to sleep in the car (since Porter didn't get a morning nap) and we were right, SORTA! They slept for a little while maybe 45 min and then we got to Tripp's parents with no major incidents. When nap time came around we put the kids down... Porter just screamed and screamed and screamed. Since the kids share a room there after about 45 min of screaming I went and got him with a very defeated outlook on the rest of the day. Padyn, you know my precious angel child I thought for sure would sleep. Um Negative. She was up and crying at the door 15 min later. Soooo to sum things up we had had a very busy morning and had an evening planned with two kids who have only had a short cat nap.

Here are some pics of Padyn picking flowers with Lala













Well we get to the Neville's and really had the best time. They have 3 kids.... Abbey 3 1/2, Emma 1 mo older than Padyn and Mason 1 1/2 mos younger than Porter. So the kids had a great time, and aside for Porter not eating did very very well.
Here are just a few pics... forgot the camera but did get a few on my phone. If I get more from Amanda I will upload them.













Here is Emma, Padyn and Abbey watching Dora (pretty sure this is the first time Padyn has seen Dora)













Tripp was letting Porter take a little smell of some pipe tobacco. I do not advocate any kind of smoking, but there is something about pipe tobacco that smells so good.
