Latest Ocala Trip

We went to Ocala this past weekend and had a wonderful time, as usual!  The boys had been talking about this trip pretty much ever since we left the last time.  :)  Here are J and E telling how many more sleeps we had until we went to Grandy and Popeye's....

We were happy to see sweet baby Peaches again.  And the boys promptly wore her out...

Here's another sweet baby...

The boys ate lots of popsicles that weekend...

 

Peaches LOVED Davis, and the feeling was mutual.  It was really neat to see how she was instinctively more gentle with him than with adults or even the older kids.  She would just sniff and lick him and kind of nuzzle him... never using her teeth (even though it looks like she is in this picture).  And he would never get upset when she loved on him... just smiled and giggled!

My niece, Olivia, liked for his hood to be up that day.  :)

Partners in crime... Oh, these two.  We could eat them up.

And these two buddies, too...

Everyone enjoying ice cream one night after dinner...

And, of course, Peaches wanted some, too!

Mommy/Daughter snuggle time...

O was looking so sweet sitting there hugging her little doggie...

Later that night I looked at old photo albums and loved these pics of Becky and me back in the day...

Becky was in town visiting from Iowa, which was the main reason for our visit.  We got to spend a lot of time together just relaxing and hanging out and it was wonderful!  Saturday morning B was outside with Reid and I thought the field was so pretty with the fog...

They were petting the horse and then Reid saw me and came running... :)

Pretty Ben...

"Hey Lady!  Can you stop taking pictures and send someone out here to feed me??"

That night Leslie and Becky and I got to go see John Mayer in Tampa!  Along with all of these people...

Is it weird that I'm always surprised at how many other people are at a concert?  I kind of feel like I'm the only one who is allowed to like that singer... like "What are all of you people doing at my concert?"  Weird.  :)  Phillip Phillips opened for John.  He was really good, too.  We just had "cheap" lawn seats, but it was still an awesome concert.  And we only got rained on a little bit.  :)

 

AND Davis took a bottle of milk (my milk... still no formula... baby steps, right?) from Phil while I was gone with no problems!   Hooray!!  It was so great to have a night out with my sisters!

The next morning we went in town to spend some time with my grandparents.  It's always so good to see them.  My Mimi looked beautiful and stylish, as usual!

The kids played with books and puzzles...

And Reid played "Tackle Davis"...

Then before we left we were able to get a nice family picture with my grandparents!  I love it!

And I just had to share the few pictures Becky snapped leading up to the good one... herding cats as usual.  Lol!

And one last pic... Reid wanted to lay down with his blankie next to Peaches.  So sweet.  But we for sure do not need a puppy right now.  :)

It was a fun weekend for sure!!  :)  We sure do love our family.
