Sista Sista

Life hasn't been the easiest for me in the past few months.  But what more do you expect from a college student?  I was so glad to get my finals over with and make a quick get-a-way to visit my loverly sister Britni and her family in Ohio for a week.  I was able to go for my nephew Tucker's birthday, Easter, and my birthday.  I loved every minute of it!

I have always looked up to Britni.  I love being able to see her as a mother and wife.  My nephews are amazing, and I know that is because their parents have taught them so well! It was super rainy pretty much every day I was there, but it gave me the chance to just hang out with my sis and her little tikes.  One of my favorite things was listening to my nephew say his prayers at night. 

While there, Britni wanted to find things around Columbus to do that she hasn't done before.  They leave in just over a year and I was more than happy to help her find some different things to do.  And I have come to the conclusion that Ohio is strange.  Brit wanted me to see what she calls the bunny fountains (aka. huge statues of dancing bunnies)  I like to call them.  Odd.

Also, Britni read online that were over 250 Brutus the Buckeye statues around OSU's campus.  So we set out to find them.  (I also find it strange that such a prominent university has such a dumb mascot.  I mean really? A nut?  You couldn't think of anything better?  At least go for the dancing bunnies are something!)

Much to our dismay we only found 3 out of 250 statues.  Yes, I felt like a falure. We searched forever and couldn't find then; only to find out that the statues have been scattered all around Columbus.  Oh well!

I also was able to go to my little Tucker man's soccer practice.  Such a proud moment for me!

Oh an little Grayson!  Such a happy boy!  His laugh kills me, and no one can get him laughing like his older brother.  I loved watching these two brothers play together.  Tucker is so good with Gray.

Here are my two men on Easter morning.  Such studs!

We also went to a place called the Topiary Gardens.  Pretty much plants shaped like people and animals.  It was pretty cool! 

Nate wanted to see Archie Griffin's Heisman Trophy.  I have to say, OSU's campus is amazing!  It made me want to go out and have a real college experience.  I felt pretty cool walking around campus with a stroller and a three year old running around! 

My sister has a strange interest in odd statues.  She told me that she wanted to take me to a field with corn statues.  I thought she meant a corn field with a statue in it.  No, no.  We found this!

It was in fact, a field of corn statues!  Britni loved it.  I found it bizarre.  tucker wasn't sure what to think. 

I loved being able to spend some time with Brit, Nate, and their kids.  Although, I now miss them more now than ever.  I loved playing with trains, cars, animals, watching Elmo and laughing.  Can't wait to see them in the Fall!
