Thursday was Grandma's Memorial Service. The service was awesome and Grandma will be greatly missed. But I did feel like she was with us all day that day and I'm at peace knowing she's DANCING in Heaven with Jesus!!! Here are my beautiful children looking so grown up in their dressy duds! :)
During visitation, some fellowship (and snacks) went on in the Great Room.

Dustin & Kayla Holloway, David & Misti Birky, Pam & Joe Holloway, Kyle Broyles, John Heavilin, Keetha Broyles (Dad was at work by now), Jason & Keri Baker with Piper & Mackinley, Korie Broyles (yes, she's in there! haha) & Chris Lance, Kelly Broyles & Cathy Brucker. Our family lost a dear addition but look how many she left behind!! We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family. I'll let you try and guess why we're laughing (and I'm looking disgusted!) in the second one!
Some great pictures of the Broyles kids (plus Piper). From left to right: Kyle, Korie, (Piper), Keri, Kelly
David & Misti being silly. David took the camera and was running all silly away from Misti so she was running silly after him!
Do you see what she's doing here?? I decided to get out her little gym today for the first time. I put her on her back so she could see the little animals at the top and she immediately began trying to ROLL OVER!! She got her bottom half completely rolled over and if it weren't for her arm being under her, she would have made it all the way to her tummy!! Then she fell asleep like that! LOL! Why is my baby growing up so fast?!?!
Mackinley kept trying to squeeze himself on Piper's pad with her so I made him his own "area" right beside her. Too cute!
Last week, Haley was visiting us and she was saying how she hadn't seen The Dark Knight because she didn't have anyone to go with her (by the way...if you haven't seen it yet...GO RIGHT NOW!! It's fabulous and is Heath Ledger's performance of his life. But don't take your kids...it's called "The DARK Knight" for a reason). Jason said "Babe, why don't you go with her Sunday and I'll watch the kids?". I'm spoiled, I know. I have the best husband ever! Anyway, so we went to see the movie. These pictures made us laugh really hard. We were hurrying because we didn't think to take pictures until the previews were over and the movie was just about to begin!
Some nice man took our picture! This was the first time Haley and I have ever been together without one or both of my children tagging along! That seemed crazy to us.
Ahhh yes...dinner at Applebee's. We were talking about the show How To Look Good Naked (on Lifetime...watch it if you haven't yet!) and I was trying to show Haley the difference between her body and mine! I'm sure you can tell which is me and which is Haley! hahahaha
Of course after talking about our bodies, we had to have dessert! Thank you, Haley, for having a date with me!! And thank you, Jason, for being amazing and volunteering me to go with her! I had such a great time just being a silly girl again instead of Mrs. Responsible Adult.
Monday we went to the Indianapolis Zoo. Korie came with us!! We started out with a picnic lunch.
Mackinley playing peek-a-boo from behind a tree.
As usual, Piper is the rowdiest one in the bunch!! :)
The first part of the zoo we visited was Oceans. This is Mackinley getting his first glimpse at a zoo animal! He's laughing at the sea lions as they swam and dove.
Here we are checking out the fish and sharks!
There's a pool of dog sharks and you can reach in and pet their backs. You should have heard the kids squeal when they touched them!
