Okay I'll do my best to re-cap most of the weekend. It seriously was the best time... I laughed SO hard like all weekend long!

Thursday night Lily & I picked up Angela & London at the train station. We left early b/c we weren't sure how bad traffic would be, and then the train got in late, so by the time I 'met' Angela... Bug was kind of a mess. She is just wailing... and London is giving his mama looks like "what the hell? why are you strapping me in next to this crazy baby, mom?" haha. Angela was so efficient... she has her suitcase with the car seat attached to it, London in a carrier, and a backpack on her back... who would of thought with all that stuff she'd have a free hand! But once we got back on the road Lily calmed down and then we hear this really quiet noise which apparently is London at his worse. haha. If you read the update thread Angela posted you'll get my testimony of Mr London's hotel cry... its SO quiet.

We got back to the house and my dog Piper was going crazy barking and it was freaking London out. I felt pretty bad. Rilo just wanted to snuggle up to them but London wasn't so sure of that.

Here's Angela calling to let Troy know they made it okay.


and a couple of Rilo trying to check out London-



Then London explained how Lily wasn't playing with her toys properly ... he was more than willing to test them all out. It was really cute because he was inadvertantly rocking Lily in her bouncy chair while trying to get at the toy bar.




Then the next morning Lauren flew in.


London was excited he could finally test drive the bouncy


Oh and apparently my 'mommy gene' hasn't fully kicked in yet... so Angela had to put together my exersaucer... b/c I had done step 1 and it was wrong... and seriously... I'm just an idiot... so she put that together. And then she cut Lily's nails b/c Ben and I are chickens and won't do it. Thank you Angela!

We're all pretty laid back so we got along well... just hanging out and of course busting out all three laptops at night. LOL. So here we are getting a slow start to our day


How cute are these kiddos? Look at their itty bitty feet!


We spent most of the day riding around on the golfcart... Angela got pictures of that, I don't have any of my camera. I took them to Partners which is a local family owned pizza place. They have potato pizza which some of you may have seen me mention on my FB statuses... so Angela & I split one of those.


Even London enjoyed - haha



Here we are back at the house after the golfcart ride-


and that was all the pictures from Friday. I'll do Saturday in a second, I don't want to post too many pictures to get the thread to load, lol.

[soImarriedAnerd]

HAHA I just did only saturday! LOL Great minds think alike!!!!!

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

okay I just saw that Angela did a re-cap of our Saturday... so I'll chime in here with some of the photos-

Whenever either Angela tried to hold Lily both of their boys would go crazy jealous, lol. So here's one we got before we left to drive down to see AngelaL... before London noticed his mom was 'cheating' on him. haha


We met up with them @ the mall food court. Notice the cookie monster shirt, haha.


And the wonderful AngelaL quote "I'd love to say he's not normally like this... but usually he's worse"


back @ Angela & Chris' house... their furniture & stuff won't be in until next month. I think its so crazy that the military doesn't try harder to get them their stuff in a reasonable time frame!




"mom, this looks dangerous!" haha


Angela was trying out the carriers... and of course Landen wasn't going to allow his mama to hold another baby. hehe





Then we had the worst blow out ever, which Angela recounted in her other thread.... so after we left Columbus, went to Alabama, passed Columbus again, got back to my town, ate Waffle House... we finally got home and put her in cloth & haven't looked back since!

[♥Ashley♥]

Ohhh I love it all! Sounds like you guys had SO much fun! I love that your CD'ing now! She looks so cute with her little fluffy butt! Thats too cute that the boys got jealous! Oh and at Angelas comment about Landen! HAHA!!!

Okay Sunday we were up in ATL for the Braves vs Rockies game. Angela is trying to go to every stadium in the country so this was one more to check off on her list! The home team won, which is always great too!



Ben came also


For part of the game Lily was getting tired of just sitting so I went all the way up to the top w/ Ben so I could pace around and we could still watch the game. I also had a bit more space to feed her. But it was funny b/c in our little section there were lots of babies... London in the ergo, Lily in the beco, another little boy in front of us in an ergo, and then the people beside us had this carrier that was like furniture... one of us will have to google around for a photo but it was hilariouss and you know when they saw the ease of our carriers they were like what the hell! haha.
Anyway, here's Lily up at the top of the stadium hanging out


After the game we went to the Varsity... because you're just supposed to eat there when you go to ATL. I think its totally gross, but its one of the 'must do' things... so we did... and don't get me wrong, I love greasy bad-for-you food, but this is just yuck.

[soImarriedAnerd]

It was this one! Amazon.com: Kelty K.I.D.S. FC 1.0 Frame Child Carrier: Sports & Outdoors

oh and troy looked up Varsity---its the worlds largest drive-in!

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

okay this is really annoying b/c I can't figure out how to rotate the video... but Landen is rockin' out to some music on their phone... so here's a video of Landen, London & Chris dancing.

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

okay here is what Landen does when you tell him to go crazy Sorry this is sidedways too, I don't know how to fix that.

[Mod-LadyCoconut]

So I post video of Angela's hubby shakin' it, and ya'll are gonna make me, Angela, & Lauren the only pervs by not drooling over him? pfffft!

Oh... another funny story -- Angela, Angela and I are all BFing, and were BFing in the food court in the mall, etc. and then of course various other places throughout the weekend and not once did anyone comment on it or say anything negative or whatever. Then on Sunday we're at the Braves Game and Lauren went to the bathroom and then threw away her coke bottle and some lady comes up to her and is like "How do you sleep at night?" and Lauren is seriously thinking "Aw, she must think I look well rested!" But the lady was having a sitfit over Lauren not recyling her 20oz coke bottle! She totally chewed her out over not recyling! We just thought it was so funny that if anyone was going to get snarky remarks from a stranger we assumed it would be one of the breastfeeders... not the non-recycling lady!

[~Jess~]

For the first time in my life, I wish I lived in Texas. Looks like you guys had a blast!!!
