Great Grandparents Visit

Great Grandma & Grandpa Dalby came to see their 2 beautiful great grandkids.  First time seeing Raelynn💗
Golf-cart rides, BBQ, swimming
4 Generation Picture and visiting B&S home
Koop playing & Rae dice game
Toe tickles, yard runs, and more fun!

Picture of cute girlie LeAnn when she was 10 years old, and found similar dress (Kristen found it and Denise & Mom fixed it to look almost the same).  We went to the church to take pictures so the background was similar too.
42+ years ago...
Then & Now and cute girlie Raelynn💗

Trusty Trip

Went to Helen & Hiawassee with Mike & Carmen. 
Lot's of changes to our plans, but still fun:)
Tubing was so relaxing!
3 attempts at the Helen Mountain Coaster - maybe next time;) Heavenly meat and a fun place to sleep!
A couple waterfall attempts - the 2 1/2 hour drive on terrible roads and no where to park at the falls was a missed opportunity to see them.  But we did see these little waterfalls and got to climb Brasstown Bald.

Sweet Baby Rae & Powerhouse Parents

 Quite an adventure getting our cute girlie here~
Sweet Baby Rae (Raelynn Lee) arrived June 6th (Kristen's 25th birthday) weighing 5lbs 6oz & 19 1/2 inches long.  We now have birthday buddies and another amazing girl in the family💗
Sarah & Rae on this incredibly special day!
Mema & Pop are so excited to be here!
Cute Dad Brandon is rocking it doing air traffic control school & having a new baby. 
Oklahoma City is an incredible place - we love it!
So tender seeing the bombing museum.
Love the strength & standard of Oklahoma!
Favorite part was this statue of Jesus across the street and the beautiful experience of listening to a pastor tell some teens about the difficulty of life.
Oklahoma City Temple is so beautiful!  Got to walk in in shorts and put our families names on the prayer roll too.  Everyone is so welcoming here!
Cute pic sent of Koop & Kurtis reading, Jeff hanging with the dogs, yummiest restaurants in OKL
