Kirksville

We are in Kirksville, MO now, really enjoying ourselves. We broke our drive up into two days (great idea!!) and Bridgette did wonderfully! We met up with Nanna Lee and Pappy Jim and Bridgette has laughed and giggled the entire time! She has just been so happy and wonderful.
She is chewing on EVERYTHING in site, including Mommy's purse and Daddy's ear haha. She also met Aunt Kimmie and Cousin Noah today. I'll post some pics today and some more later!

My Baby is CRAWLING!!!!

Yesterday Bridgette finally maneuvered around the room on her own! This morning, she went all over the place! Now she is just following me and the dogs around. She loves it! :) I am SO PROUD! I am working on getting a video, but in the meantime, here's a pic or two!

FAWVER DAY

Our family just hosted it's 1st annual FAWVER DAY! This will be held on the 1st Saturday of June every year and we will celebrate being Fawvers outside in nature! We had a wonderful day yesterday and our family celebrated with us! We started a few new traditions: monkey bread at breakfast. YUMMY!
We then went to picnic at Greenbriar near Gatlinburg. It was the most beautiful day. :) Bridgette saw her first butterfly and was so fascinated. We were accompanied by Grammy Kay, Papaw Billy, Grammy Nina, PawPaw Marshall, Aunt Malerie, Grandmother Pat and Granddaddy Bill. It was so special to Travis, Bridgette, and me.
Then we headed out for the aquarium where we met up with Grandpa Marty and GB (Diane) and Jeff Foster. Bridgette was so excited about the fish--she was really wild!
Afterwards we went to Best Italian- seriously the best! Aunt Momo (who just graduated from high school last night as valedictorian!)joined us! Bridgette entertained EVERYONE there! It was hilarious...check her out.
Well, finally we all pooped out...well actually Bri stayed up until 10pm! She has NEVER done that--she was really wound up! What a wonderful day!

Bridgette goes to the zoo!

A dear friend from childhood invited Bridgette and me to a day at the zoo! Bridgette really enjoyed it! She especially loved the larger animals like the elephant and the camel! She was such a good girl. Naomi and her son Elijah were so fun to hang out with- they were great tour guides! :) Thanks for the fun!
