Fun Outings In VA

Time to play catch up! A very long picture post of some of the things we have explored since being in VA.  Sorry I haven't kept this as up to date as I would like, but between the move, the new jobs, and two little ones - a long picture post is the best I can do!

Jackson's 2nd Birthday

My sweet sweet Jackson. Oh words cannot describe the love I have for you. You are exciting, exhausting, exhilarating. You have taught me humility, humbled my spirit, kept me strong in prayer, and shown me what true unconditional love is. I love the bond we have as mother/son. I love that you call me Nee-Nee. I love that you want me to hold you, rock you, love you, and always hold your hand. I love the way you need me. Your strong personality tells me God has big things in store for you. Your smile lights up a room and my heart.  We got this thing buddy - we got this thing. 

Headed to NC to celebrate! Donuts of course at 11:00 pm

A cow cake for the party on the farm!

Check out the awesome train cake Grandma Waller made for the party back in VA.

Wedding festivities

Our first (but not last) Waller wedding of the season. We were so honored that Uncle Caleb and Aunt Emily asked Elli to be their flower girl. She did a great job and even gave some guests a little wink when she came down the aisle. What a beautiful wedding!!!!
Ps My camera isn't working so all I have is my phone.  I will hopefully get some professional shots of the wedding to share!

Ok I LOVE that picture of those two. It captures their personality and my day exactly.  Seriously - this is it. This is how they are and I love them for it.

Whew - this flower girl stuff is hard work!

Dancing with my lil guy!  They loved the dance floor.

Splish Splash

Check out the little splash park that is in our gym. Awesome right?!?!  Jackson LOVES it!

Bender Birthday Bash

Lots of birthdays in March in the Bender household - Caroline, Charlotte, Elli, and BoBo. We drove home for a Bender Birthday Bash and it was fun!  The kids were great in the car and we made it both times in less than 6 hours so that is success!!!  I forgot my camera though so not many pictures.  

All the partying wore out Bender Sr and Bender Jr

Birthday hats!
