Birthday Weekend

This past weekend Scott, Lyla, and I flew to Noblesville, Indiana to help celebrate Max and Marlee's birthdays. Anytime we can get the three cousins together it always makes for a great time. Lyla adores Max and Marlee, she literally shakes with excitement when she sees them. We had such a great time with our family. Scott, Jason, and Isiah golfed a bit and us sisters and my mom even got an afternoon at the pool without kids! We also stuffed our faces with some amazing sweet corn and Indiana tomatoes! We also got to attend Hol and Jason's church, which was really neat, and had a great message on honoring God. Thanks to the Bezy family for putting us up and making travel life so easy. We miss you all so much and Lyla still randomly throughout the day calls out for Max and Marlee.

Turks and Caicos

This past week we were blessed with an amazing vacation to Turks and Caicos from Bryan and Linda. We had such an amazing time and I would love to blog for an hour on all the exciting adventures we had but I will keep this short and post some of my favorite experiences from the trip. Thank you Bryan and Linda for the once in a lifetime vacation. You were so wonderful to bring everyone together in paradise. What an amazing time we had in fellowship and laughter. We love you so much!
Here are some of the highlights from our trip...Enjoy!

• Lyla flirting with a 17 year old boy sitting in front of her on the flight to Turks...yes almost the entire flight.
• Adjusting to not having air conditioning in the main level of the house
• Taking Lyla to the beach for the first time and watching her eat the sand
• Eating conch for the first time
• Watching Grammy dance for Lyla
• The many trips to Giggles (the ice cream shop)
• Watching the boys interact with Lyla
• The couple of hours we had once the kids went to bed when we could sit down and have great conversation with everyone
• Snorkeling
• Watching Aunt Christe teach Lyla how to go under the water like a big girl
• Family naps every afternoon
• Family showers (don't ask)
• Eating pineapple that tasted like candy it was so sweet
• Watching Lyla crush on her Uncle Nathan hard core
• Getting robbed by masked gunmen for the first and hopefully last time
  

Thanks again to all of the Chandlers. We had an absolute blast and still can't stop talking about the trip. We miss you all so very much!
