Swimming at Boss's


We took John and Elizabeth swimming at Boss's house today. It wasn't quite as humid as it has been, but it is super HOT for the first week of June (98 degrees!) The pool was great, though, and both babies had a blast! We will be back many more times before summer is over!


When I say fearless, I mean fearless!


Elizabeth loved the water-especially being in the float John used last summer!

A Great Memorial Day


We enjoyed a wonderful Memorial Day weekend at Darden! John is fearless in the water, but listens to instructions well (he is starting infant survival swimming classes next week!)


Elizabeth enjoyed the sunshine too!


It was Bo's birthday weekend, but she spend most of it cooking and cleaning for us-she gets to celebrate her birthday and retirement this Saturday night though, so be sure to check back for a post about that next week!

Crawling


Look who is crawling EVERYWHERE! Elizabeth started a few weeks ago and is a speed racer now. We are busy with two mobile babies-but it sure is fun!

Silly Boy


There is a photo very similar of me just a little older than John doing this exact same thing!

A Busy May

The latter half of May was super busy for us-I'm a little behind on posting! We enjoyed the Gumtree run by watching it at the Curlee's house during breakfast.




John and Elizabeth enjoyed watching the race!


Miles, the host's precious little boy who is a little younger than Elizabeth. I love his head full of red hair!

We also enjoyed Lauren's dance recital a few weeks ago. She was wonderful-we can't wait for her to teach Elizabeth how to dance! She had the lead in her piece and did a great job!



That same afternoon we went to our friend's daughter's birthday party. Dixie was a cowgirl at her birthday roundup-everyone had a great time!


Dixie, the sweet birthday girl!

Getting ready to slide!


Taking it all in.

That night we helped host a farwell fiesta for our friends Tracy and Bill Behm who are moving to Virginia later this month. I didn't get any photos during the party, but made this one before of some of the decorations and the precious cupcakes that said Adios! We will miss the Behms (their daughter, Ellie, is three weeks older than John and has been in his class at playschool) but are excited for them!

My cousin Coleman graduated from Lee Academy a couple of weeks ago. I can't BELIEVE he is old enough to be out of high school! He is going to State in the fall-we are so excited for him and know he'll do great!

John also graduated (ha!) from his first year of playschool a couple of weeks ago! He had a wonderful year with Mrs. Sherri and Mrs. Kim. He and Elizabeth will both attend this summer starting June 20th for Summer Fun Days, and they will both be back in the fall on Tuesdays and Thursdays, after Labor Day.

This was John the first day of playschool last September with Mrs. Sherri and Mrs. Kim.

This is him on the last day of school in May-what a difference a school year makes!

Jason ended the school year last Friday and yesterday was my official start to summer! He is working with the Natchez Trace on their curriculum this summer and preparing to begin his National Boards in the fall. I am enjoying spending LOTS of time with the babies. It looks to be a great summer-we hope yours is too!!!
