Babymoon #2

Watch out Big Canoe, here we come! Aunt Brooke's parents have generously invited us to stay in their GORGEOUS mountain home while they head out west for their own summer getaway. We can't wait for some rest, relaxation, and time with our best friends Brabe, Elijah, and Emma. There are lots of fun things to do in Big Canoe and this kiddie pool is high on my list!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you Barb and Dick... you are the best!!!!

How Do I Get This Suit On?

I was ready to go to the pool and mommy kept saying, "in a minute", so I took matters into my own hands...

Cute Cousins

Splash!

I love to go "wimming" in my "pooooo".

(Yep, that could probably be taken the wrong way... ha, ha!)

Bedhead

Can you tell I've been sleeping much better this week?!!

Wa-er

Daddy and mommy are big fans of the "sunday drive". They don't plan the destination, they just pack up the car for the afternoon and head out of town. It's fun to check out new places! A recent cruise landed us in Oxford. After grubbing at a local hotspot, we found this fountain in the center of town to be the perfect spot for some cooling down. :)

Wings of Wonder

I've never seen so many "fliiiiiies" before! The butterfly show was so cool. There were thousands of beautiful butterflies gliding all around me. As one landed on mommy's hand, I tried to pluck it's wings gently touch it, but she quickly moved it out of reach.

Chocolate with Sprinkles

After a cookout at No-mah's (translation: grandma's), she kindly treated my sweet tooth to The Cone. My ice cream was scrumptious and the rides were a major hit too. Thanks, No-mah!

6:30 A.M.

If you look closely, you can see what the crack of dawn SHOULD look like...

This is what 6:30 a.m. ACTUALLY looked like in our house this weekend...

School's Out for Summer!

School being out for the summer means many things to me... sleeping in, breakfast in mommy's bed, play dates with friends, long morning walks, afternoon shopping, more frequent blogging, and a Water Tots class with my good friend, Brooks!

Here we are after our first swim class!

Memorial Day

Memorial day + boating at the lake + cookouts =

the perfect start to summer!!!

Zoo Babies

A few weekends ago, we ventured down the zoo to check out all of the zoo babies. It was a gorgeous day and we had a lot of fun. Our afternoon was topped off with some chocolate dippin' dots. Animals, sight-seeing, ice cream: the perfect day.

Sand Table

Our newest addition to the deck...

the sand and water table! Special note: Sydney was wearing clothes when she began playing at the water table... we only took them off after she soaked herself from head to toe. Oh, and she insisted that we keep her socks and crocs on.

Sticky Fingers

I recently headed to Kroger to do some grocery shopping with daddy. To keep me occupied and happy, he let me try out one of these cool carts for the first time.I drove the "hot rod" while he loaded up the cart with groceries. I was really happy to cruise along while daddy paid for and bagged the items in the check-out lane. As we headed out to the parking lot, things got a little quiet. TOO quiet. Daddy bent down to check on me and noticed this in my hands...Uh oh. I was caught. I couldn't help it.... my sticky fingers reached out of the cart and swiped this yummy candybar right off the shelf. I just wanted a quick taste! My daddy is now convinced that I've got mommy's sweet tooth. :)
