Lots of catching up!!

Ok I have a LOT of catching up to do!!

A month ago my mom and I went on a road trip with Shelby to see mom’s BFF cousin Genie and her son Patton with their new baby. We had a super fun drive up there stopping at some of the roadside yard sales and small town antique shops!

Patton and Stephanie live in this beautiful neighborhood in the middle of the rolling hills and pines! This is the view at the end of their street!! They live in this gorgeous house on an acre on beautiful Longview countryside!

This was Shelby’s first hotel stay. She slept on a fluffy hotel pillow in between mom and I and surprisingly didn’t move an inch all night and slept 12 hours!!

Here’s mom and the little Shelby grace punkin! She did so good in the car, I was so proud!

Stephanie and Patton’s baby, Drew, was only 9 days old, 6lb, and so adorable. We did a little newborn photo session for the little princess!

Big brother was soooooo sweet to her and even enjoyed playing with Shelby! Can you rub off on June a little please!

We had a great time and the reception was absolutely gorgeous at the Rice Hotel Downtown! I didn’t take my camera in because the valet was pressuring me to hurry.
