A few days with Nina and Cheaper

Last week we went and spent a

few days with Nina and Cheaper.

My parents wanted to be called Nana

and Preacher but somehow mom ended

up being Nina. And Nixon gets her P and C

mixed up and so father is now

"Cheaper" to the kids!

Unfortunatley I forgot my camera in the

chaos of packing but father had

one I was able to

catch a few memories with!

What did we do in Tuscaloosa?

It rained most of our visit and it was

100 degrees outside so

we had alot of inside activities!

The girls had tea parties with

Nina's pretty tea set.

We baked cookies!

My mother has this amazing

ability to make the most

delicious cookies and

the girls love to help her!

She doesn't even make them

from scratch or anything.

They are simply the kind that

you break off. I can buy the

exact kind but mine are

never close as good as hers.

We went to the mall and the

kids rode the little rides!

(kinda like going to

Six Flags for them!)

We ate CUPCAKES!

Eating cupcakes have become a

special activity the girls look

forward to when visiting Nina!

We played with Nina's Shoes!

The girls played with

their new Barbies

while Preacher

played video games!

Played with Mommy's boots!

Most of the time Isla had

"mommy's new baby"

taking care of her!

Each night preacher

read the girls bible stories.

Preacher read Roman stories too!

Mom cooked my favorite meals!

Chicken with white barbecue sauce,

cheese potatoes,

homemade bread with honey-butter,

and steak to name a few!

We love going home. It's a wonderful break

from cooking and doing laundry!

The kids and I love spending

time with Nina and Cheaper!

Nixon loves going to "Preacher's church".

Isla always looks forward to eating cupcakes!

And Roman along with me looks

forward to all the yummy food and

just a change of scenery!

I was able to visit

with my closest friends.

I am so blessed to have maintained such

close friendships with

all my best friends from high school.

Unfortunately, I did not take my

camera to all our gatherings!

I love my kids being able to build

friendships with my friend's children!

Hopefully next time I will

remember my camera!

Unfortunately it will be another

year before I will see Sarah!

Although, I think I talk to her the

most because of our time difference!

She's my only friend I can call

at midnight or one in the morning!
