Wonderful Summertime Weekend

We had such a wonderful weekend this past weekend. Taylor wrapped up his last ball game on Friday night. This has been such a fun season to watch 4 and 5 year olds play ball. Some of them are very dedicated to the game, and then you have some that are like my little Taylor who would much rather turn his hat around the wrong way, pick grass, and dance in the outfield! Regardless of the type of player your child is this whole season has been quite entertaining! Most of the games they did not keep score and they just played for fun. But, our last two games were “the tournaments” and they kept score. I have to say that I liked it a lot better when it was just for fun. It is amazing how many of the dad’s started showing up for the tournament games, and started yelling from the sidelines. I don’t think I am going to like sports when they are all about competition.

We also go to spend the whole weekend at the late with Uncle Jonathan, Aunt Mary, Lucy, Nene, and Poppy. Audrey, Aaron, Lila, Pop Roy, Grandmom Susan, Sean, Lawson, and Britain all came to visit for a little while too. We had such a nice relaxing time together. I just love watching Emma Grace and Lucy plat together. This was their official first sleep over.

Taylor was also a hoot at the lake. He loves his Manna and G-Daddy’s lake house. At one point this weekend he said (while shaking his fist in the air) – “I’m about to freak out if someone does not take me on a boat ride.” He loves to drive G-Daddy’s boat, and swim in the lake. He also loves to solicit volunteers to play Star Wars with him. He especially loves to beat Poppy up with the Lightsaber. He loves rough housing with his Poppy! He is quite a little rebel with a Lightsaber these days!

(More weekend pictures to come – this post has taken 60 min. thus far, and it is time for bed.)

My precious little boy. I could eat that smile up every day!

Bathing Beauty (who hates the water, pool, water, lake, sprinkler, water). Honestly I don’t know how a child that hates the water can actually be mine.

Look at that hair:

Pretty, Pretty, Princess. This weekend Emma Grace started shaking her whole body when her dad looks at her and says “shake it”. It is so cute. She has also started to play Peak a Pie with us.
