Weekend in VA

After the horrendous flying experience from last week, this weekend had no where to go but up. My mom picked the boys and I up from my inlaw's house on Thursday morning and we headed 2 hours west to my parents' farm. We spent the weekend climbing trees,
and greeting each new person who pulled up. Like my Dad,
 My brother Joey

Uncle Bummy
 Uncle Tommy
 and Aunt Kyle with cousin Brooks.
And those were just the people I was there to take the pictures of. We are so blessed to have a large extended family to share our visit with and I was thrilled that the boys didn't have any issues recognizing family that we hadn't seen in six months.

And while Cullen is loving to everyone, he has developed a very special place for his three crazy Uncles.

His new thing this weekend was that he wanted to do whatever they were doing.

 Uncle Tommy plays cornhole with his shirt off, Cullen plays cornhole with his shirt off.
 Uncles take a drink, Cullen takes a drink.
Uncles ride motorcycles, Cullen thinks he can ride motorcycles.
You get the idea.

Saturday night my brothers and I, along with Joey's girlfriend, stayed up way too late chatting over the bonfire.
 And on Sunday, the boys rocked their newest coordinating ensemble in order to celebrate Bennett's first birthday (which is on Tuesday!) with family and friends.

 My parents' had surprised us by turning an old well house on the property into a play house for the kids. C and his cousins were having a ball playing in it.
 As was their great-grandma.
Bennett spent some time inside with two sets of great-grandparents
As well as his grandparents.
 My mom and I spent all day Friday making these sweet cookies. I think they turned out so cute!

 Bennett was pretty pleased too.
 And now, this tired Momma is off to bed. Hope your weekend was great!

Love the cookies! And that's so amazing that your boys have two sets of great-grandparents to celebrate with. That's precious. :)

Ok, that play house is AWESOME! How cool are your parents for doing that?!?!?! And, those cookies look amazing! When you have time, I'd love if you could share the recipe! :)

Kristin said...

So Bennett either has micro-mini hands or that is a GIANT cookie. I'm hoping it's a giant cookie because it looks delicious!
I love your short hair!

I'm loving the photos east coast style! I didn't realize how big the cookies are...yum, I would be snacking on that just like Bennett! I just read your flight details...luckily you don't have to turn around and do that again TOO soon!

We are going to have to teach Cullen that laying on the boards is unacceptable cornhole (we call it baggo) play! LOL! I loved that he was mimicking his Uncle's! TOO CUTE! xoxo A-

Kristin said...

Uncle Tommy is really cute! I mean, so are your kids, but he appears a tad more age appropriate : ) Happy Birthday Bennett!

Ally Garner said...

Of all of those sweet pictures, I think my favorites were the snapshots of open arms. Open arms = joyful love. And may your boys always have open arms to run toward. What a homecoming! :)
