weekend recap

Friday we grilled out with the Meacham's.
The night took a funny turn where we ended up playing drinking games! I got to create a rule....modified 'invisible man' rule. In case anyone is playing a game soon where you get to create a rule.......you have a little man on your drink (in our case we had Disney characters) and every time you take a sip you have to remove your little man. Then put him back when finished drinking. Okay, so as I'm typing this out it sounds kinda silly...but it sure was fun on Friday!...hehehe!

great picture (notice Cinderella watching over Angela's drink!!)

Then Saturday, we headed to the Baron's game. The big girls like the switch cars, so we had Sophia on the way there. I think Emory was confused b/c she just kept staring at her.

Our plan was to have the little ones in the stroller and they would fall asleep

CC and Sophia had a blast and a hard time staying in one place!

This picture was taken at about 10:15....our plan didn't work AT ALL! Both the girls were putting all their effort into staying awake instead of sleeping.

We even tried to put the shade in front of her to block her from seeing anything.....didn't work

We tried to stick around for the fireworks, but after the 12th inning the game was still tied....we left. Even though we spent more time pushing a stroller and asking the girls to 'come here', 'watch out for other people', and ' be good so you can have ice cream'- it was still a great time.

Tonsils....Smonsils

nothing to do with this post....but it sure does make me giggle! She will kill me one day for posting this pic but her little wedgie was adorable!
We woke up this morning, picked out our Christmas jammies to wear (a battle I decided not to pick), and headed to the doctor.

even though we hid, they still found us!

with all the waiting, CC was ready to go. We walked her to the door, but she went back without a problem.

I hopped in bed so we could cuddled and eat popsicles. CC was even trying to smile even after her surgery.

After many date changes and back and forth with insurance people, Christian had her tonsils and adenoids removed today. Mimi and Grandaddy came in town Wednesday to play with us, then keep Emory while we were at the hospital. The girls swam like crazy at the hotel the night before. CC went down the slide and swam to the side all by herself (and her swimmies). Emory loved the water and the stairs. We woke up early and headed to hospital at 7:15. We went straight into our own room to wait for CC to go back. Everyone was so nice and they made the whole experience easy and stress free for kids (and mamas!). She went back at 9:00, was back in the room by 10:00, and we were home by 11:30. Very fast and very easy. the doctor said her adenoids were enormous and her tonsils were huge. So her breathing, stuffiness, snoring, and ears should be a huge improvement once she is completely healed.

I now know why she picked her Christmas PJs to wear....b/c it felt like Christmas with all the presents she got!!! When we got home, she had a pile gifts with from us. Denise came by to bring her a goody bag from Ava, and Mimi and Grandaddy gave her movies, dolls, and dress up clothes. This girl is going to want to get her tonsils taken out more often!

She is drinking a ton and even wanting to eat, which are both good things. Although she is doing so well, the doctor said day 3 and 4 are the worst days b/c the scabs start to form which is very painful....so a fun weekend is ahead of us!

I'm so proud of my little tonsil/adenoid- free girl!

We had a fun weekend

Our weekend (part 3)

Monday, we headed to the zoo. Can you tell who had FUN in the splash pad?! We might just be spending most of our summer days here.

Then we had a Mommy/Daughter triple date with dinner and the new Shrek movie in 3D (which cost $24.5 for Christian and me to go to the movie- outrageous!). Shrek 4 is the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. I absolutely loved it and so did CC. It's a must see!

Our weekend (part 2)

heading into the petting farm.
how cute do they look! I love the little waddle that Emory has when she walks- as if she is going to fall at any moment (and usually does!). She was pulling on Bryan to try to get away from the horse. she was not liking it!

the baby goat was more her speed!

Christian loved them all

Then we headed down to do a little fishing.

They didn't catch anything, but we all had fun. CC LOVES to fish and Bryan loves that she loves to fish

Ewwww.....touching the worms.

Here is the rooster crowing...

and here is Emory copying the rooster....

We spent most of Saturday (after it quit raining) at Oak Mountain and had a blast. The girls loved roaming around the little petting zoo and fishing. We drove around checking out the cabins, beach, and golf course. It would be the best time to get a group of friends together to spend the weekend in the cabins. The golf course is really nice, but we might have to stay away from the beach- ewwww! They have paddle boats that we might try next time.We plan to go back to Oak Mountain soon. We all had a fun time together .

Our weekend (Part 1)

CC's swimming lessons began this week! While she is having her lesson, Emory and I are swimming as well!
This little one LOVES the water. she is going to be a little fish, just like her sister. This the first time that Emory has been in the water where she knows what is going on. She kicks all around and really like going under.

The Chick-Fil-A close to our home has a great play area, which is perfect for raining days!

hopefully when swimming lessons are over, Christian can swim without her swimmies!

We have officially entered summer break! This past week, we have had swimming lessons, library summer reading parties, and lot of outside playing. We've been just as busy this memorial weekend with fun activities...pictures to come soon.

What did you do tonight?

We reenacted Shanna's wedding!

Christian put on a swimsuit and one of my swim wraps as a veil with a blue cup as the flowers.
I threw random toys and candy at them while they walked

Christian must have remembered doing this BECAUSE......

she wanted to sit in a chair with her 'veil' over the chair and Daddy to get under her veil. (I almost wet my pants laughing so hard every time I see this picture. She was so serious about the whole wedding).


This video is of the vows. She took this very seriously. She even handed me a handful of sour gummy worms to throw at them! I might just have to show these pictures at her wedding!!!
