Birmingham Trip

A couple of weeks ago we took a trip to Birmingham, AL for the weekend to visit some family and for Brigg's second birthday party.

 

Our trip started off on Thursday night and we made a pit stop in Pearl, MS to eat dinner with Jenna, Jordan and Bailey at Logan's Roadhouse.

 

 

The kids were able to run off some energy and we got a good visit in before it was time to hit the road again.

 

 We got in about 11 p.m. that night and woke up on Friday morning to this little guy turning 2 years old!!!!

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOKS! See more from our birthday celebration here.

Shortly after we woke up Uncle Russ, RaRa, Great Nana, and Poppa all arrived.....

 As most of you probably know, Great Nana is known for her short visits so we had to take a couple of pics of her while we could!! She stayed about 2 hours enjoying the grand babies and then she was off!

 

 

She enjoyed holding Parker and watching the other  little ones run around playing!

 

 

Once Great Nana left, Gramme and Pa arrived shortly after. Coincidentally the SEC baseball tournament was in Birmingham the same weekend and the game for LSU vs. Alabama was going on that afternoon. So the guys (minus Pa and Poppa) took off to the game with some free tickets we got from some friends and the girls and kiddos all took a little "field trip" to the park!

 

The guys had some great seats and LSU won the game in extra innings...it was a great,exciting game!! LSU advanced on to win the SEC title as well...GEAUX TIGERS!  

 

 

Meanwhile at the park, I whipped out my camera while the kids were having a BLAST and took some pics....

 

 

 

Okay...maybe we had a little fun too!!

 

Then we went back home for some dinner...picnic in the yard!

 

They boys all played hard a little longer

 

 

and then it was bath time!!

 

They were so adorable in their little PJ's I mean I just couldn't pass up the picture opportunity!

 

Story Time....

 

And then Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Iris & Uncle Justin left all of the kids with the grandparents/great grandparents and went out for a night on the town!!

 

Saturday was the big birthday party celebration....see here for more on that!

 

Then shortly after we got home from the party the rest of my dad's side of the family (minus a few) came over for lunch and visiting!

 

While we were all outside taking some family pictures we saw a "topless man" (which is what I screamed when I saw him) sprint across the street from between the houses. We all thought it was very strange and shortly after the police cars came zooming down the street chasing after him!!! We directed them towards the area that he ran and then took all of the kids back into the house as the men (aka daddy) became armed and dangerous!! We started hearing sirens and finally determined that a few of us should get in the car to see what happened. A few streets over the captured the "topless man", he was pretty "HIGH" on something and apparently he was being a disturbance and running from authorities. They eventually loaded him on a stretcher and took him away in the ambulance. Talk about some major excitement added to the family day though!

 

We had a fun filled weekend in Bham!! It always flies by when we have visits together because we stay sooo busy!! But it was so nice to get to see all of the family and spend some great, quality time together. Thankfully we have some great pics to remember the wonderful times we spent together.

 

 

Thankful that God blessed me with such a wonderful, supportive, and loving family!!! Still praying that my parents will move closer but we know that God's timing is perfect even though we don't always understand it.

 

Love you all!!

 

Until next time....
