"Vacation"

Grandmother, David and Alex...We had a great visit with family at my mom's new house in Vicksburg, MS at the beginning of Chris' vacation week.

My mom is a great cook even though she claims she doesn't like to cook. ha! She prepared a fabulous meal all by herself for over 20 family members who came to lunch one day. This was David's first time to meet some of our extended family. We have a big family as my mom and dad both were one of 7 children. We have tons of aunts, uncles, and cousins!

Alex loves her cousin Amber

"Bathtime couldn't be any better than with cousin Amber and bubbles!"

The girls had us laughing as they bopped each other on the head with bubbles. Amber doesn't look happy about it here, but they were having a ball!

Lunch with special friend, Cindy... and yes, our social butterfly climbed into a booth with a single lady and made us all laugh. See below.

We trekked up to Maumelle, AR one day to visit our friends who used to live right across the street. They have a beautiful new home with a short hike to a pond with ducks, walking/biking trail, playground, etc. We still miss them terribly!

While Daddy was off this past week, we went to Splash Zone, a mini waterpark, in Jacksonville, AR. Fun times! It is perfect for little ones and a great price. Kids under 4 are free and adults are only $4!!! We spent a wopping $10 as we ate our packed lunch on the way and Chris and I bought $1 wrist bands to ride the water slides. :)

David's take on Splash Zone

My dad (Papaw) and my stepmom (Nana) surprised us with a visit this week in which they got to meet David. When we told Alex that Papaw and Nana were coming to visit, she said, "but I don't see Papaw and Banana." ha! She used to call a banana, nana. :)

Jasmine and Rabindra cooked a fantastic Nepali dinner for us one night last week. Yum! Yum! Jasmine had Nirvan about 4 months after I had Alex. She can't believe I already have another babe. :)

Our special friend, Graeme, offered to keep Alex and Reagan so myself and Layla could go to a women's Bible study led by Graeme's wife, Wendy. We were so thankful to Graeme as we both wanted to go, but our hubbies had to work. While keeping the girls, he got some great pics of them with his new camera. For more pics, go to The Ramsey Family link in the side bar. Thanks again, Graeme...You are a priceless!
