…but unfortunately not much food!
Good morning from beautiful Lake Oconee!
I’m blogging from the lovely state of Georgia at Mom and Dad’s house.
It’s been a whirlwind of a weekend! It all began on Friday with a party for my friend, Dan’s, birthday. It wasn’t just any birthday- it was a special one. 11-11-11. Definitely reason to celebrate, and Hailey decided she had to be there as well.
Bright and early Saturday morning, Hailey and I were packed up and on the road. 4 hours later, we arrived at the happiest place on earth.
Disney?
No.
Athens, GA!
…if you look closely, you can see the famous arches in the background!
It was Hailey’s first trip to the beautiful University of Georgia… and from her expression, she is less than thrilled ;), but I assure you she had a good time once she arrived on North Campus and spent a few hours tailgating and meeting mommy’s friends!
We didn’t stay for the game, though it turned out to be a great one- the dawgs looked incredible and beat Auburn 45-7! (Sorry, Brooklyn, had to throw that in 😉 )
Then it was on to Mom and Dad’s house, where Hailey enjoyed baking with her Nana.
On Sunday Hailey met more of her family members, including her great grandmother, great aunt and uncle, seconds cousins… once removed? We’re not sure about that title, but oh well!
Check out our 4 generations: Ann, Sherry Ann, Brittany Ann and Hailey Ann!
She also got to show her Uncle Kris and Aunt Cara how much she’s grown in 8 weeks.
She must have worn herself out because she slept from 8:30pm until 6:30am. A new record!
I realize this post hasn’t shown one single food picture, but now you know why… we were busy! But I do need to brag quickly on my mom’s pumpkin bread.
I’m enjoying a toasted piece right now and it tastes like the fall season in loaf form- delicious 🙂
What is your favorite fall activity?
Tailgating ranks pretty high up on my list, next to pumpkin patches and chili cook offs 🙂

Oh wow, how beautiful is that picture of the lake? What a view!
I love your red and black scarf 🙂
So glad you had a wonderful weekend with everyone!

What beautiful pictures!! Hailey is growing so quickly :). I love following your blog because I have a 6 week old baby girl, so I can certainly identify with your posts. I was wondering if you could offer some advice or tips on getting Hailey to sleep through the night. I am breastfeeding as well, and my daughter has only given me 4 hour stretches.
Also, when she sleeps that long, do you wake up to pump?
Thanks!

What a great weekend! 4 generations of women is a very special thing…especially with the middle name Ann, that’s mine too! 🙂

Sounds like fun! I didn’t go to UGA, but I love Athens. Such a great college town.
Do your parents still live in Kennesaw? I remember you telling me once that’s where you grew up.

I love the 4 generation picture. We’re planning to get one of Jason and his mom & grandma at Thanksgiving. I’m extremely jealous because I was very close to my grandma and am sad she didn’t get a chance to meet Molly. Hailey will cherish that picture. 🙂
Emily says
Sounds like a lovely weekend! Athens looks beautiful! Love the 4 generation picture, so neat:)

Love the 4 generation picture and the names 🙂
Brooklyn @ Veggie Table says
What a fun weekend – you guys are the cutest!!!! Haha, yes – that game was a killer to watch (for me and all Auburn fans). It was very clear from the beginning that your Bulldogs were hungry for some Tiger meat 🙂

Oh! I am missing Athens and tailgating so much right now! It has been years since I have been back, but there truly is nothing better than tailgating on a fall day and then celebrating a Dawgs win! So glad that you got to go and now I get to live vicariously through you. You better believe I was singing the fight song and doing the cheers along with y’all from here on the West Coast on Saturday! 🙂
Jen says
Looks like such a fun weekend! I can’t wait to take baby to his first Clemson tailgate next year. Looks like Hailey has tons of people in her life who love her 🙂
Roz says
Awww! Thank you for sharing your photos with us Brittany. The 4 generations is one to treasure forever!!! Have a wonderful week.
Maria says
The four generations photo is priceless…and totally frame-worthy! How sweet!

You are really blessed to have 4 generations in one photo. I can relate and I realize it every day, how lucky me and my child is regarding this fact.
I love the photos in this post and it sure looks like you all had a fantastic time.
I love that photo of your daughter and her grandmother (your mom). So priceless.
