Labor Day Weekend

Hip hip hooray for 3 day weekends! We had a super, fun and relaxing 3 days. Here's our recap.

Reesey started gymnastics last week! OMG! It is the cutest thing EVER! She loves it. I still need to get her a leotard, then it'll really be the cutest thing ever!

She is really good!

She's a pro at touching her toes to the bar.

I have so much fun with her. I'm not really sure who gets more of a workout, her or me though. I think gymnastics is something she is going to excel at. I see many hours at the gym in my future. Although, I'm hoping she'll get into ballet. 

Saturday evening we had some friends over for a cook out. This is the only picture I took. Reese being Ami's swimsuit model. More like topless model. This picture was taken after she climbed off of the water table. 


Reese is a girl of many talents, gymnast, model & chef!
She loves to help me while I cook. Her favorite spot is right there on the counter. 




Sunday also meant a playdate at school. It's great that the kids are now old enough to be 'independent' at school. Jaxon loves going to school with the triplets on weekends. They literally run all over the school and have 'adventures'. On this particular day our school date started with a creepy crawly at our door. 
A giant tomato worm (at least that's what I'm told it was) was hanging out between our doors. 


This one should still be left at home though.
She looks innocent here, but that purple bug head didn't
last long on the wall. :( 

Monday was busy. We headed to the park for a bit. Which the weather was perfect for! I cool 90*! But it was cloudy, so really it was like 70* :) 




Yeah. Let's talk about this. Jaxon's new thing is to wear a gold 'church' necklace. Sigh. One of his friends at school has one and he had been bugging me for DAYS for one. I made the mistake of telling him to ask Lola if she had one (my brother & I wore it when we were kids)
Of course Lola found it! So now he's the proud wearer of a cross. Aye aye aye. 



They crack me up!
This was unplanned.
They are alike after all!
Jax is into finding bugs these days. On this day he found a tiny lizard. It was quite cute actually. 







After the park we visited Grammy Sue. She and Jax built a 5 foot puzzle together. 


It was a nice weekend and I am very much looking forward to our Fall break in 2 1/2 weeks!

Labor Day


It's been a nice Labor Day weekend around here! We went out to lunch, did a little shopping, had a couple different friends visit, got some ice cream and were lazy for an entire day! How great to have an extra day off. It definitely makes me miss my old work schedule... work 2-3 days a week have a 3 day weekend each week.
Brian & Ami were kind enough to stop on by Sunday evening for an impromptu playdate. Good times!

Ami had the BRILLIANT idea of cutting watermelon into shapes. Let me tell you, heart & star shape watermelon tastes SOOO much better than regular watermelon.


The kids admired the desert from our newly lowered back wall
Future husband and wife had a moment to themselves
SUPER ADORABLE!!
Oh how I hope they do get married... can you imagine how great the wedding slide show will be??
We roasted marshmallows.
Yes, I know this picture is crappy, but I didn't want it to look like we were roasting marshmallows in broad daylight.
We did a little painting



The kids played in Jaxon's bed. Seriously hilarious! I hope that Ami posts the history of kids in one crib.

We did make them get out, but I wondered if we had left them in there if they'd fallen asleep? Yeah. We didn't think so either.

And don't fear... we have chosen a BIG BOY bed for Jaxon and will order it by the end of this week!
