Uncle Rob and Aunt Ana's wedding

Back in May, we traveled to Atlanta for Brad's brothers wedding. We were excited to be apart of the day but stressed about traveling with three kids. We debated for months about if we were going to bring the kids, should we bring all of them, etc. The weekend ended up going well. Our three were the only kids at the wedding and we were confident one of use would be standing in the back by the time the ceremony was over due to a child screaming, pitching a fit, etc. But they exceeded our expectations. All I can say is thank goodness for snacks, a pacifier, and my hair. Lincoln chomped on cheerios during the ceremony while Sawyer and Ainsley both attempted to eat my hair. We were exhausted by the time we got home but it was a good trip.
 
Yes, this is how much luggage we took for a Friday to Sunday trip. At one point, bags did fall on Lincoln and he did not appreciate that.
 
It took a lot of effort but we cleaned up pretty good!
 




 
These kids were worn out after the wedding and reception but they sure did look cute! Brad and I did not look near as cute when we crawled into bed any of those nights.

Camera is broken so all you get are IPhone pics....

Things have been busy around the Davenport Den as of late. Sawyer is literally into everything. He became mobile a couple of weeks ago and has been investigating every square inch of the house that he can. We had no idea how lucky we were with Lincoln not crawling. There is a huge part of me that wants Ainsley to crawl but there is also a decent percentage that doesn't want her to because things will get even more insane. You know they will never crawl in the same direction.
 
 




We went to my family's cabin the weekend of the fourth. We had a great time. Brad and I took Lincoln on two different hikes. The first was up to Grayson Highlands to feed the wild ponies (which is illegal I think) and then we went in search of a waterfall off the Blue Ridge Parkway. This kid loves to hike! We carried our hiking back pack but he never asked to be carried. The only time he rode in it was when we forced him to in order to climb up a pretty steep part of the trail.  Hoping the other two love being outside as much as Lincoln does.
 


 
 I think I might have actually given birth to a kid that will like to eat food. He can't get enough of the stuff!
 


 
 I think these two are gonna be best buds. Lincoln loves playing with him and Sawyer really responds well to him. Although I feel this dynamic may change once Sawyer starts trying to play with his toys....
