Schoools out, Memorial Day in ATL!

 These two pictures....the one above and the one below, sums up how we are feeling around here at the Law house lately! :) Alexis is one HAPPY girl that she is going to 3rd grade! I {on the other hand} wish math didnt have to keep moving on up with us! Alexis plus Me plus Math equals a horrible equation! Oh Lord, get us through the rest of the school years! :)

On another note, Alexis LOVES the picture above of herself doing a 'happy jump!' She wonders where her right foot is though and why it isnt showing up in the picture! haha!!

 We celebrated Thursday night being the last school day by eating at Yamoto! The girls chose there and we celebrated!!

Lily..............was being Lily and not cooperating with taking pictures! :)

 On the other side of the table....the 3rd grader and I! :)

 Friday Tyler and I had a date night since Alexis didnt have school, so the girls went and spent the night with Gran. Tyler and I enjoyed dinner and a movie at home and just enjoying the fact that we were about to have a nice long and fun weekend ahead of us! :) 

Saturday Ty and I got up and worked all day in the yard on our front porch. Needless to say, the front porch is coming along while Alexis and Lily enjoyed the sprinklers, boat rides, water gun fights and dinner with Gran, Ben, Pam and Richard.

Sunday we headed to Grans for a Memorial Day {early} bash and to say goodbye to Blake and Margie! Blake was offered an awesome opportunity to move to California and work for 3 years and so Margie and Blake are leaving us this week! We are all sad that they are leaving but SO excited for this opportunity for them AND..............since they will be living in San Diego, that just so happens to be a hour from Hollywood...........THAT.........I will be THERE visiting some time in the 3 years that they are there! YES....I will!!! :) :)

The girls love their Margie!....and so do I!

 Lily...and her bubblegum...and some of her favorite cousins! :)

 Such a beautiful day for a boat and float ride!!

  We didnt get to stay long at the Memorial Day bash and saying goodbye to Blake and Margie party because.....we headed to ATL with this cool chick in the back with us to go to the Braves game and then the Chris Stapleton concert after!! {Lily was dancing during the picture!} :)

 We made it to the game with plenty of time to spare! Our traditional picture by the Braves baseball!!

This game marked Alexis and Lily's 2nd Braves game! They had a blast!!

 Lily sat in Meg's lap pretty much the entire game and had so much fun talking to her and doing the 'Chop' during the game! The little chick of mine is an energizer bunny for sure! She stayed up late at Grans' house and didnt have a nap on this day but made it all day..through the concert and didnt want to go to sleep when we got to Meg's apartment later on that night! She kept going...and going...and going!!

She is a stinker and was being a stinker as I was trying to take her picture! :)

 All girls picture waiting for the concert to begin! The 'cool club!'  :)

 The girls got a Braves bat and ball when we came into the game! They were super excited!

 BUT...even MORE excited about Cotton Candy! OH MY goodness.....after Lily finished her game day dinner I told her that she could have some cotton candy. Well, I could never find the 'Cotton Candy' guy! She started getting so frustrated so I told her that I would go down and get some. Well, I got all the way down and realized I had no cash...so I had to go back up to get cash from Tyler...then when I finally found the 'Cotton Candy' guy.....I was short cash. SO....I told him...'PLEASE come with me to my seat so I can pay you and get the cotton candy!'...and he did! haha! You should have seen the look on Tyler's face when I was walking up the flight of stairs with the Cotton Candy guy following my every move with his super huge tower of cotton candy bags flying in the air!!

Though the Braves didnt beat the Marlins....we still had a great time and our seats were perfection! We were on the 3rd base side and in the shade the whole time. I just looked out at the other side's seats and wanted to cry for them because they were in the sun almost the whole game!! YUCK!
Chris came out and performed and he was awesome!!

This was my first concert in the Braves stadium and it was super cool. They cut all of the lights off and it was just sooo neat!! During some of the songs everybody got out their cell phones and waived their flashlight app! Sooo...Alexis had my phone and Lily had Meg's and they had a blast waving the phones!
This concert also marked Alexis and Lily boths 1st one! If you asked me, you couldnt ask for a better 1st concert and 1st concert experience! Alexis was just amazed with it all! She was singing her head off especially to 'Fire Away', 'You are my sunshine' and 'No One to Blame But Me' songs! Those are her favorite ones that he sings! :) :)

We had a PJ party at Meg's after the Braves game. We didnt stay up too long after we got there because we were all so tired and we knew we were going to have a big day today! This was us chicks right before leaving to do some shopping this morning in Meg's apartment. She has such a cute 'big girl' apartment! :) Alexis asked Tyler when she could have a cute apartment like Meagan! He said........when you get a job! :)

We did some shopping and then headed to have lunch at Tin Lizzys. This marked my 2nd time to eat there and it didnt disappoint again! It was so yummy! My Greek tacos were SO good and fresh!

We headed to the Atlanta Zoo after we ate lunch and Lily was SUPER excited! She has been wanting to go to the Zoo for awhile so she was super ready! They enjoyed petting and brushing the goats! {Yes, Alexis had her IPAD. She carried it some and took a CAzillion pictures on it of all the animals!} :)

LOOK at these Pandas! They cracked me up how they were laying and just relaxing away!

Lily watched King Kong the movie while she was at Gran's house so when she saw 'King Kong' she was super excited! She thought it was actually him! So...we took a picture in front of him though you cant really see him in this picture! ha!

But here he is! Lily just watched him. I just wondered how he would stay in his area because to me...he could climb right on out and be right beside us in a second! It was a little nerve wracking! :)

AND..the highlight of the trip! What Lily has been talking about seeing the entire time.....Giraffes!!!

Family picture! :)

I wanted to end the post on this picture! We went in to the 'Parakeet Home' area and so we were walking around and the girls were 'feeding' them even though none of them came up to us. Well, Meg had a bottle of water in her purse and decided to put some water in the cap of her bottle and dribble it over Alexis' head to make her think that a bird pooped on her. Sooo....Meg poured the water and stood back. Alexis {even though it took her a second to feel the water and think...hmmm, what was that} stood back and I said 'Ohh...Alexis' right when I said that...she grabs her head and starts almost a screaming voice, 'Mommy...a bird PEED on me!!!!' 'Mommy, ahhhh......a bird PEED!' She starts rubbing her head and then starts busting out crying! OH ME...to say the least! We were all laughing because you all know how dramatic Alexis is! It was SO funny! Because she was crying though...Meagan told her it was just water! I wish I had the whole thing on video because it was priceless!! :)
We had such a great trip and nice long weekend! We of course didnt forget to thank our soldiers for sacrificing to allow us to be able to celebrate our freedom and what they have done for us!
What a great weekend! :)
