Church Picnic

Last weekend our church had a picnic at Lake Wedington. It was fun. Just very, very hot!!

Lindsey and Kennedy

A lot of people brought their swimming suits. It looked like fun until a snake came out of the water onto the grass and then slithered BACK into the water!! I've turned into a sissy. I like swimming pools!

Swimming

Last week (I think it was last week- we've been crazy!!) our next door neighbors were out of town and told us that we were welcome to use their pool. I took the kids over for a little bit. We had a really good time.

She LOVES her brothers!! I know that I keep saying that but she really does! They are just as crazy about her, too. Harrison hurt his foot right after we got there and couldn't swim. He was a little cranky. I would be, too.
Harrison took my picture with Lydia. I'm hardly ever in the pictures! He did a good job of centering it. I didn't crop it or anything!
She makes the funniest faces right now. My favorite is when she scrunches up her nose and smiles from ear to ear (this is a little bit like it).

Girl Time

The boys are with my parents in Branson so Lydia and I have had some good girl time! We went shopping today and we both tried on clothes. Then we found some sweet little chairs at Target that I've been eyeing for a LONG time. I got them down and let her play all over them. We sent these pictures to Daddy. Maybe he won't be able to resist one...

Home Sweet Home

This was what we found in our backyard when we got home! That is our pool FLIPPED over on it's top. We had to drain it before we left (I forgot to put chlorine in it for a couple of days and it turned into a pond) and a big storm came through right before we got home! We turned it back over and Jared put it back together. The boys really missed Lydia. She was much happier to see them than she was to see me. It took her a few minutes to warm up to Jared and I. When she saw they boys she almost came out of my arms trying to get to them. She just laughed and hugged and kissed them!! She's starting to get more hair. You can't really tell in the picture but it's there!!

Going Out!

O.K., I'm finally going to finish posting vacation pics!! I quit taking my camera down so we don't really have any more pictures. We got to know a really nice family on the beach throughout the week so we asked if their girls (16 and 18) would want to babysit. They were excited to do it so we got to have an adult night out. We went to dinner just down the street from the condo (just incase) and had a great time. We even got to see dolphins while we ate(of course we didn't have a camera!).

Wednesday

We had another good day at the beach. The only problem is the jellyfish. There were a lot out there today. We've got some LSU and Alabama fans next to us. Everyone is playing nicely =) !!

The boys are enjoying a snowcone break.
They boys next to us were catching jellyfish. YUCK!!
Zane had an earache from the water so he went in early. Harrison's favorite thing is to be thrown as HIGH as you can get him. While he's under water he turns around and swims back. I'm so proud of how good he's swimming.
At dinner we ordered seared tuna as an appetizer. The boys really like it. I was a little surprised!
After dinner we went and played mini golf and arcade games. Zane won Deal or No Deal and got 200 tickets. He bought candy!! Here's the boys with their loot. After that we went and had ice cream (at 10:45!!).

Tuesday

Another great day at the beach!! Tonight, we had crab legs for dinner. Jared and Zane did a great job of steaming them! I think everyone tried them and loved them!

Here's everyone getting ready for the day! Reading their magazines and surfing the net!

Zane and Jared steaming the crab.


Hmm... wonder who he wants to be like!!!
Before......and after!
