Maggie Valley, NC

Hiking in the moutains! We even got to see elk!

Giking with her walking stick and Uncle Bubba!

My parents rented a house in Maggie Valley, NC. This is very close to where my Uncle Hunter, Aunt Sarah, and Thomas live. We hiked, went pontooning, rafting, laughed, and ate lots of delicious food!

Hanging out with Aunt Annie and Tony!

Bridget loved meeting and playing with Jamin.

Hanging out with Grandad

Lily, Thomas, and Tyler going tubing!

Same dress!

Bamma bought this dress for Lily for an O'Brien wedding when Lily was 9 months old. Bridget also wore it to Jackie's wedding this year. Can you tell which is Lily and which is Bridget?

To Cleveland!

We attended Jackie (Tyler's cousin) and Nick's beautiful wedding in Cleveland. It was so fun to see the O'Brien side of the family. Lily loved it because there were so many girls to play with.

Posing with Bamma!

The Mayer Clan

We asked Lily to give her wedding smile and above is what we got!

Dancing with Monica

We went 2 days early and saw some of the Cleveland sights. Em, Fro, Nick and Chris came, too! Tyler and Bridget are enjoying a sno-cone at Geauga Lake water park.

We make a special visit to see GG. All of my pics came out dark. :(

Joey (Ty's godson) joined us at the Cleveland Science Center.

Enjoying the hotel pool!

The 4th

We were in Glen Ellyn again for the 4th this year. Below is Bridget and Daddy at the parade. We brought Lil to the fireworks this year. She was more interested in her glowstick and than the actual fireworks...ha!

Bamma also got her her first rollerblades. When she started to head down the driveway I got a little tear...she's not a baby anymore. She looks so big in the skates!

9 months old!

9 months old...well, actually almost 10 months! I'm a little late on my postings. Bridge learned how to crawl this month! ah! She has gotten really fast and is already pulling up on things! In the second picture you see that she has also learned to point. Her hair has gotten really thick. We've said good bye to baby food and she's onto table food. She likes it much better! She's still a snuggle bug and her sister is her fav!
