Arkansas Trip!

In May, we took our first family vacation to Arkansas for Grandma and Grandpa's 60th wedding anniversary. It was a great trip and we had so much fun spending time with the whole family. It was about a 10 hr trip one way and we were very surprised at how well Payton did. Key: lots of snacks and movies. haha. Payton loved spending time up there with all the kids. He has two cousins within about two months of his age. It's so nice to see him interact with other kids. He picks up so much so fast. Aunt Kathy threw a great party for Grandma and Grandpa. I have a ton of pictures but won't upload most of them. Their was so many people and everyone had so much fun!


Chad and I had so much fun that weekend. We never get to spend quality time together. It was so nice to just relax and enjoy time together.

Payton had so much fun playing with everyone and he loved

spending every second with Grandpa.

 Of course there was cake. And where there is cake, there is Payton haha.

Luckily he was nice to share a few bites. (these pictures are terrible

of me but we were just being silly lol)

Ashleigh flew up for the weekend as well and Greg really liked spending 

time with both his kids.

This is the whole group. It was an amazing turn out. Aunt Kathy throws

awesome partys ;)

On Friday, Cortney and Derek were so sweet and brought us to Silver Dollar City.

I have been as a kid and had so much fun! Unfortunately, we only got to stay an hr before they 

closed but we used every second for the kids to play. This is Preslee, Cort and Dereks little girl. Isn't she just to precious! Her and Payton got along great. Payton followed her everywhere!

Aunt Ashleigh tagged along to the park and the kids had SO 

much fun playing in the ball pit with her! Payton has a great aunt!

Payton loved spending so much time with his daddy. They

played all day from sun up to sun down. Chad is such an amazing daddy. 

I hate that Payton don't get to see it all the time with Chad in school so much.

We had a great weekend. I definitely married into a great family. Aunt Kathy was so nice to let us bunk in her camper and feed us so much delicious food! We hope to make another trip up there at least once a year.
