Reese is 2 1/2 weeks old, and we have been dying to break out our camper now that it's so warm. We took such a fun trip to St. George for the weekend. The kids LOVED spending a day at Fiesta Fun, and then finishing off at the pool.
Rhett was a little too short to ride on these race cars, but Mia had the funnest time racing with daddy. Rhett was heart broken that they left without him :(

These bumper boats are always a hit. Chris rode with the kids while I held Reese and watched. Later, Chris' parents came to hang out with us for a minute. While they were there, Chris and I were both able to ride on the bumper boats with the kids while they held Reese. It was war :)
I was so close to deleting or cropping myself out of all of these pictures. At 2 1/2 weeks postpartum, I feel like my body is still showing a lot of the signs of pregnancy… to say that these aren't my favorite pictures of myself is an understatement. Anyway, I have been trying to change my mindset. Instead of thinking about how much I don't love the way I look in these pictures, I want to focus on how much I loved the way we were feeling. It really was the sweetest, most fun trip. I loved seeing our kids laugh together and doing something fun with Chris. He is just so precious to me, and getting away to spend time with our sweet little family was just what we needed. I'm so grateful for all of these sweet, precious people, and for what my body went through so that the three little ones could come and be with us. They are everything!
Mia and I were soaked! Chris and Rhett really did us in :)
I didn't realize until just now that this is our first picture together as a family of 5! I'm tearing up as I think about the fact that I almost deleted it because I didn't love it of myself. These people are the most precious things in the world to me. I'm so grateful for everything about this picture, including the extra baby weight. The things I don't love about the way I look are part of what it took to get Reese here, and I'd take them a million times again to have her in our family.
