TN and MS trip

We got to go back to the south for a visit in March and we had such a great time. We flew into Memphis, then drove down to MS to see my Grandma Ginn and lots of family. It was so great to see everyone! We're so blessed with such a great family. Jamie and Dallas even came from Texas to meet us at Grandma's so  we got to visit with them and meet Andy and catch up with Caleb. I love her boys so much. They are such great kids!
I took LOTS of pictures......
Here's what we got to do in Memphis.......
We got to see Uncle John and (soon to be) Aunt Kelly alot!-which was tons of fun. They and Naomi made pancakes one morning for all of us.

 While Adam visited a client, Leslie and I took the kids to the park for a picnic, and to feed the ducks....
 (how adorable is this?)
 (she is so great with children)
 and to slide....
 and swing...
We hung out at Bill and Lesile's house and the kids enjoyed going thru the doggie door. It was pretty funny

 Naomi was calling for pirates
 The kids played with Uncle John

 Mom and Kelly-two beautiful women!
 Bill and McKay had a blast
 The fam after dinner
 Naomi was testing out wedding hair-dos for Aunt Kelly

 The Engaged Couple
 Naomi and McKay got lots of excersice on Grandpa's bike...
 They loved playing outside in the backyard

 Can you believe they're just about a year apart? Hope they're good buddies when they grow up

 Naomi loved the old dolls
 Check out these faces! Two of a kind
 Dad and Mac
 Papa was so good with Andy. Andy sure loves him

 Priceless picture

 I need to make a book of this trip
 This is my mom's parent's tombstone.
 Had a shrimp boil with 30 lbs of shrimp-no joke. It was so delicous. I could really go for some of that right now.
 We have such a great family!
 We loved having Andy as our entertainment
Jamie and Aunt Kathy made a  cake and we put 68 candles on it-
19 for Amanda and "the rest" for Aunt Rose
 The birthday girls
 Told ya Andy loves his Papa Ginn
 He was so good at taking snoozes when he needed them.
 Jamie made hooded bath towels for my kids' birthdays. Naomi got a unicorn and McKay got a basketball-
they are soooooo cute. She should start a business.
 Anthony and my Uncle L.A., who I haven't seen in a long time! It was so great to see them!
 We visited the bell tower from Grandma's old church
 And saw her new church

 these two were still having fun
 how cute is this?
 vistied Uncle Dayton's Memorial

 visited some family member's graves,
 Naomi loved seeing her name. This is my Great Aunt Naomi, who my Naomi is named after. (Adam's Great-Grandma was also named Naomi, so it's a family name from both sides) My Grandma always says that they should have warned me about that name. She thinks my Naomi is like Aunt Naomi, very strong-willed! =)

 In the airport when we landed back in Salt Lake. Thanks for a fun time family!!!
Can't wait to see ya again in October.
