The Journeycake Girls: I am NINE month old!!!!!

Well it's been a long time since a good update, so hold on to your hats- here we go... A lot has been going on since I last updated, but tonight I went to bed early- at least I faked it at 6:30- so I could get on here and update!!!

These first pics are at Jack and Ella's 1st Birthday Party in Joplin a couple of weekends ago!

Those are the backs of Jack and Ella's heads!

My mommy and me in the ball pit!

Riding in the wagon with Lola!

We went to Virginia for a memorial service and then we stayed an extra day so my Daddy could see Washington DC- these pictures make it look like I was actually awake, but really I took a 3 1/2 hour nap while I was "strollered" around DC by my mom!!

We went to the Vietnam Wall- we we seriously hit all the monuments, but you all don't want all those pictures. This was amazing to be there on Memorial Day weekend!! They do a thing called Rolling Thunder and it is motorcycle parade that went for 4+ hours of herds of motorcycles driving in the streets- it was AMAZING!! The wall was especially touching since many people put personal pictures/ stories about the men on the wall. There were two vetrans who stood at the start of the wall and shook everyone's hands who walked by.

This is me asleep when the motorcycle parade started- use your imagination to figure out just how loud it was. Only goes to show what a good sleeper I am!! Remember I went to bed at 6:30 tonight!

My mom -of course- played photographer in my great aunt's backyard!

I can't wait to be big enough to play with my cousins next time!!! Who knows what they are really called, but these are my mom's cousin's kids!!!

I love my Gram Gram!

All the girls!!

The "big cousins" minus Tori and Caleb

The family.... I can't believe they really all stood still for a picture! We were all together for my mom's cousin Lex's memorial service, it was beautiful.
