We had such a fun trip to Branson. We stayed five nights at Westgate resorts. It was the first trip for Miss Brooklyn and the first trip I've ever been on with my Mom...aka..Grandy. The kids had an incredible time and so did Grandy. Daddy's kidney stones was the only set back in our adventure. It was the only time I've had to take him to the ER and of course it had to be on vacation..on our days...on our anniversary. I guess it is just the kind of year we are having. There were parts of the trip that were hard because we took this trip twice a year with Nanny. It felt like she was everywhere. But in a way I was at peace because it was so neat to see my Mom there happy, heathly, and enjoying the things that Nanny had always dreamed about her getting to experience. We went to Celebration City, White Water, Silver Dollar, The Track, Swimming, Playworld Pizza, Joe's Crab Shack, the Landing and a few other fun spots. Jackson, Bailey, and Raain were in heaven with late nights, sleeping in, breakfast at 11am, and fun filled days. It is lots of work to pack up this many kids but very much worth it I think. A very memorable trip for many reasons to say the least. We are going to the beach in two more weeks and I can hardly wait!
Mommy and Daddy's 6 year Anniversary for sure won't be forgotten. We took all three of you and Raain along with Grandy to Branson for the week. We lft last Saturday then Sunday, August 10th, was our Anniversary. Daddy ended up in the ER in Branson on our special day because he was in so much pain. It turned out to be three kidney stones. My poor poor man was in more pain than I've ever seen him in and it was such a helpless feeling. So needless to say we will have to have a redo to celebrate our special day. Honey Happy 6 Years!! 6 years ago was the start to the best thing that has ever happened to me. I am truly blessed by your love and friendship in more ways than I thought possible. Love you Babe! So glad you are all better.

Here is a pic of my chunky monkey. She now weighs 18lbs at 4.5 months.
Mommy turned 27 on Saturday. We all went to US Pizza and then got some ice cream. During the day your soon to be Aunt Steph had her family shower. The girls went with me and you got to have some fun "boy time" as you call it with Daddy. You said you played "hard baseball". You would play baseball all day if you could. On Friday Mommy took you guys along with Uncle Luke, Aunt Savanna, Aunt Raain, and also Aunt Steph to the museum of Discovery and then to the Riverfront play area. We ate lunch at the flyin fish. You guys were so good for me and Steph. Today is my Nanny's BDay. She would have turned 72. I miss her so. I still can't believe she is no longer with us. When my phone rings a lot of times before realizing it I think it is her calling. The other day Jackson told me how much he missed his Nanny and Bailey you have been asking if you can love on her. Here are some pics of you guys having a fun weekend.
Bailey the other night when Mam was here you wanted to show off your flower girl dress for Jordan and Steph's wedding. It was too funny. You kept spinning around and got so excited about getting to try it on again. The wedding is only 3 wks away. You and Jackson are going to have so much fun since this will be the first wedding experience for you both. You can't wait and niether can we.
Jackson Ryan Charles was born August 30, 2004, next came Bailey Grace on May 31, 2006, and then there was Brooklyn Annelise on March 10, 2008. All three are 21 months apart.
