Finally! Our dream weekend of meeting my parents in Atlanta finally happened!! And the bonus was, my brother and his family were able to come as well. They move to Seattle in a few weeks (insert saddest face on the planet) and this was our last opportunity to hang out. We won't see them until next summer so transitioning from seeing them every few months to not seeing them until next year is SAD! We are way bummed out.
The weekend was nonstop fun and my body is now paying for it. This 30-week pregnant woman is tiiiiired. We went to the zoo on my birthday, went swimming, ate good food, played with the kids nonstop, attended the temple (our main focus of even doing the Atlanta trip to begin with), and watching the Olympics every night!
I am grateful for my parents for arranging this weekend. It was so special to be all together as a family over my birthday and to enjoy each others company. Everyone made such an effort to making me feel special on my birthday. It really was the perfect weekend. The kids just love each other so much and they (for the most part) play really well together. The boys bring out the tough girl side of Brinley, and Brinley brings out the tender side in the boys. It's a good compromise.

ZOO time!!

Meltdown after the zoo. 7 hrs of sleep the night before+no nap after the zoo=tiiiired girl!
My mom brought goodie bags for me and the kids to have a little birthday party for me! We had cupcakes and had fun playing together with our new toys!
Saturday morning, we went to the Temple.
I thought this picture was so funny. We always have such a fun time with my brother David and his wife Tiffany.

Uncle David and Brinley. She LOOOOVES her crazy Uncle David.
It was raining Saturday morning so we decided to hit up one of the malls in Atlanta, and of course it had a LEGO store! Brinley is new to Legos, but after coming to this store, we are totally going to get her a set of LEGOs for her Birthday!
The rain stopped so we headed to the park!
