Tuesday 10

To copy my dear friend Cara I am going to use Tuesday to post my 10 favorite pictures from the past couple weeks. From my trip back up to Ohio to see the family, to a weekend with BW and his family and finally my best friend Alix's 30th birthday this past weekend. It has been lots of fun! The next two weeks are my last here in Chapel Hill, but as the past few months have been the next two weeks are jam-packed with fun activities (my birthday!!) and the last few days of work. So, here are my 10 favorite pictures...

1) Cody, dad and I at Quarter Horse Congress my first night in Ohio

We spent the evening walking around the fairgrounds shopping for boots and other horse/western things. It was a lot of fun and just nice to spend time with dad and Cody (and dad's friend Tressa).

2) Me and my two favorite boys! Cody and LaShawn... pure happiness!

I always get to spend lots of time with Cody during my visits back to Ohio, and I love every minute of it. However, it has been a very long time since I was able to spend time with my first little boy love, LaShawn. I was able to spend Sunday afternoon with him during this visit and it was so much fun to be able to play with him and just be together again.


3) Shawn (my brother), Cody (my nephew) and my dad.

Three generations of Leonard boys... it is so fun to see these three together. It is amusing to see how much alike all three of them are and to just watch them interact. I love these boys.

4) Playing with Cody is my favorite thing to do in Ohio

The one thing I look forward to the most during any trip back to Ohio is all the time I am able to spend with my nephew Cody. He is the cutest little guy ever and we have so much fun playing the whole time I am there. It gets harder and harder to leave each time, I miss that boy!!

5) An oyster roast at BW's with his grandmother, dad and aunt

BW's dad, aunt and grandmother came down to visit and see his new house over Veteran's Day weekend. Luckily I was able to go down and visit for a day or two during the weekend. It was great to see them again and spend some time with them.

6) Lunch in Charleston with BW's grandmother, aunt and dad

We spent Sunday in Charleston SC just looking around at all the beautiful old buildings. It was so much fun to be with his family for the weekend and visit with them again.

7) Brian and I with the F-18

During his family's weekend visit we went to base to see the jets that BW flies. It was great to get the "tour" of base with him and have him tell us all about the jets and what he does at work. I love getting to be a part of his life, and am so proud of him and all that his job entails in protecting our country and our freedom.

8) Alix and I celebrating her 30th birthday!

What a big year for Alix! She was married in June and then turned 30 last weekend!! I am so glad that I have been able to be here (close) and be a part of all of these special events in her life.

9) BW and I celebrating Alix's birthday

BW came up for Alix's birthday weekend. It was great to have him here to go out with us and celebrate with us. We had another great weekend and really enjoyed spending time together.

10) All the girls celebrating with Alix

What a great group of girls! We had so much fun going to dinner and then out in Raleigh and celebrating our friendship with Alix as well as her 30th birthday. It was a super fun night and I am so glad that Alix was able to have such a great time!!

Whew! So, there are my favorite 10 pictures from the past few weeks. It has been a busy month, but it has been lots of fun! And I am looking forward to the fun of the next couple weeks!!
