Nashville Zoo

A fun summer day at the Nashville Zoo! I think all the walking gave Mommy contractions at 26 weeks, but luckily after a day in bed I recovered! The boys had a blast!

Hiking

Took boys hiking at Rock Island....lots of rocks to climb over.....maybe was a little too much for preggo Mommy and two young kidst. However, I think we discovered Bakers talent....he scaled the rocks with ease and loved it! And of course they loved swimming when we finally made it to the bottom!

Baker Is Reading

Well....it has definitely been a "waiting" game for Baker and me......waiting till Baker was ready to start learning to read.  The K/1st teacher in me has been trying for over a year to get Baker to read and write....and I think it has given me more frustration, more gray hairs, more irritability than a normal person should feel when working with their child.  Lol.  He is the very definition of a "boy!"  He does everything in his own time!  Well, he has finally started letting me teach him a little bit.  We are slowly learning to read and he is really doing well!  Love in one of the videos how Caleb is cheering him on...."right!"

Strawberry Farm

Our sweet friends invited us to go strawberry pickin' with them last Friday.  The boys had a blast.  I was really impressed by what a good job they did finding perfect strawberries (Oh no, their Mommy's OCD is coming out in them) and picking them!  Both boys had their own baskets to fill.  Caleb's took a little longer as he ate most of what he picked!  The child LOVES strawberries.  I do have to say, those strawberries were worth every penny.  They had more flavor than any I have ever gotten in a grocery store. We loved it and want to go back every couple of weeks before they go out of season.  I have already made strawberry cobbler, strawberry pancakes, and eaten about 50 of them!!!!

 

Becky's Wedding

Well, I think the last of my college besties has gotten married.  This was a very special wedding for me because I have been a apart of this story from the very beginning.  Becky and I were roommates for 3 wonderful years in college.....enter Jeremiah.  Oh, he looked much different back in those days =)....short, blonde, spiky hair, yet he was still a "rocker" at heart!  Through twists and turns they finally found their way back to each other for the "final" time!  When you know, you know.  It was always just Jeremiah for Becky!  I am so happy for her and wish her many years of happiness!

     

"Arrr...."

While telling the boys to go pick up their toys before bed, the next thing I know Baker has his pirate hat on saying, "Arrr.....pirates don't have to put up toys."  Which turned into, "Arrr.....pirates don't have to read.....pirates don't have to go to bed.....etc."  That child is something else!  But oh, we love him!!!!
