OHIO!

It's hard to believe we've been in Cleveland for 4 weeks already! Time is flying by and there is definitely no shortage of fun! I think it has been hotter here than it has been back home in SC. Kendal will be flying up here in about 2 more weeks to drive us all back home and Kennedy & I can hardly wait to see him!
Colton is growing like a weed. He is up to 13lbs already! Getting a few fat rolls here and there...I love my chubby babies!! He is smiling on command and cooing like crazy. Rolling over from his belly to back and pretty much sleeping through night now! He is such a good baby! I can't wait for Kendal to see him again. In just the 3 weeks Kendal has been gone, Colton has changed so much!
I registered Kennedy for pre-school this week. Her 1st day will be August 23rd! Kind of bittersweet for me. I've actually been dreading this day since she was born..My little girl is growing up so fast but I know she is going to LOVE going to school and she will do great!
Only 10 more days with Grammy and Papa...hoping to squeeze in a trip to the zoo (if it cools off outside) and maybe even to Put-In-Bay for an afternoon! Enjoy the pictures, Lots of Love to all!

Always picking on her brother!

I've been gone for way too long!

I've been receiving tons of flack for not updating the blog with in a reasonable amount of time~ sorry guys! After being on the road for 2 weeks it's been hard to find a minute to sit down and upload all of our photos! So be ready for picture over load!! Two weeks ago today we loaded up the car and drove, what should have been a 7 hour drive to Nashville. However with a 3 year old and 7 week old baby, that 7 hour drive turned into a 12 hour drive! We spent 2 nights in Music City and I LOVED every second of it! What an awesome city! Kendal & I will definitely be making a trip back with out the kids in the near future for a little boot~ scoot~and boogy-ing!
After 2 nights in Nashville, we re-packed the car and kept on driving west. After a 7 hour drive we made it to St. Louis where we met up with the rest of the Tripp family! It was great seeing everyone and spending the entire weekend with them! Kendal's cousin, Ashely, was married over the weekend at one of the most beautiful wedding venue's I've ever seen. Kennedy was the flower girl and much to everyone's surprise she did an amazing job. She walked down the isle no problem. Stood next to the maid of honor (who stuffed the pocket in her dress full of candy) and never made a sound during the entire ceremony. And walked back down the isle when it was over! Needless to say, Kendal and I were both super proud of her!! After our weekend in St Louis it was time to pack up again, say our good byes (which are never fun) and head to Cleveland to see Grammy & Papa! Kendal's work schedule is kind of crazy for the next 7 weeks so the kids and I will be spending the summer up north! Kendal is leaving us tomorrow afternoon to head back to Charleston:-( We have had a super fun vacation so far and can't wait to see what the next 6 weeks bring!! Hope everyone is enjoying the summer as much as we are! Love you all!
