Music City!

Jacob taught training in Nashville last week, so Mitchell and I flew out for the weekend to meet him and visit his brother (Colby), his wife (Deana) and their two sons (Reade-4, and Riley-3) who live in a suburb of Nashville .

We all had a great time. I'll post a few pictures each over the next few days. Mitchell LOVED LOVED LOVED playing with the boys! Jacob and I often say that we think Mitchell would make a good "little brother"...unfortunately he's the first born!

Mitchell and Riley cuddle up on the couch watching cartoons on Saturday morning...Riley sat through the entire show. Mitchell sat there for maybe 2 seconds after I took the picture. He's still an active little fellow!

Mitchell and Reade...can't you just see how much Michell adores him :)

Riley and Mitchell read a book together while sitting in Riley's firetruck bed.

Reade and Riley are at that age where they say the funniest things. Here are some of my favorites from the weekend:

Funny Saying One

Riley(3) - referring to Mitchell: "Why does he not talk very much?"

Me: "He doesn't talk much because he's little."

Riley: "I'm little and I talk lots!"

...and he's right, about both points! Both of them talk A LOT! And although Riley is only 3 1/2 years old, he and Mitchell BOTH weigh ~30 pounds! Can you believe that?!?!

Funny Saying Two

Riley - to me: "What's your name again?"

Me: "Mandi"

Riley: "Mandi, you're my best friend."

Reade(4): "You're my bestfriend too!"

Me: "Ahhh...thanks, boys!"

And the biggest compliment

Reade - after hearing Mitchell break into one of his laughing fits: "Aunt Mandi, I think he got his laugh from you."

Aren't they the cutest?!? :) More pics of the the next couple of days.
