are we there yet

this weekend my little brother, zach, graduated from ball state university - majoring in computer science with a minor in physics. geek. congratulations zach! we are so proud of you. of course we had to take the journey (about 5.5 hours to the hotel) to celebrate with him. we left clarksville right in the middle of tornado sirens sounding! we were chasing the storm right out of town - in fact, not 45 minutes into the drive we passed two 'storm chaser' trucks, equipment running and all!! but that was no sign for the drive ahead. the kids were perfect. i was so excited they did so well.

saturday we spent the day at the hotel with the heated (i didn't think it was heated) indoor pool, uncle b and cousin averie. we had a blast! blue lips and all, the kids loved the pool. after a bite to eat we ventured to muncie for the open house for uncle zach and to see aunt amy and cousin cami. kadence and kambel were in heaven playing with all cami's dora the explorer things. heaven. ty liked the dress up shoes too.

all the kids having a blast in cami's room - thanks sweetie!

after one more day of visiting with uncle b, aunt bug, averie and uncle zach, aunt amy and cami, we were back on the road. not before a little mother's day surprise. aunt amy and uncle zach schemed with the gray kids and surprised me with a bag full of smell goods from bath and body works. it was so sweet... and i smell soooooo good!

enjoy the pictures! i am working on getting a few funny videos up, but for some reason they wont upload like i want them too!
