summer kick-off...

This past weekend served as a great start for my summer vacation. My mama and sister came to visit on Friday and we spent Saturday morning celebrating my cousin Laura Leigh's high school graduation. It was a nice ceremony and we're very proud of Snuffy :) I think this was our last graduation for a while...we've had a ton of them in the family! Jesse, Eli and I spent Saturday evening in Tryon, NC for the Blue Ridge BBQ Festival. Our friends Matt and Erika had told us about it and were there as well. Molly and Eli had a great time dancing and riding as you can see from the pics! Sunday, we spent the day by the pool with friends and had a nice, home-cooked meal for supper :) I had to work a workday on Monday, had yesterday off, returned today for a training, and now...I'm DONE! Yipee~Skipee! I'm really excited, although, I do believe my little man is going to keep me just as busy (probably busier) than my full-time job! Right now I"m spending my extra minutes completing an extra-special project for another special weekend coming up this weekend ;) and getting things ready for Eli's second birthday! I can't believe I just typed "second"! He is growing WAY too fast!

Time out for a hug...so sweet!

I don't think Eli closed his mouth the whole time...pretty sure he was in shock over us letting him ride by himself :)
