Racing.

 

The kids and I went to Charlotte for a few days!  I wanted to get one last visit before school started (after Labor Day).   We didn't waste any time, and headed straight to the "jungle" =)  That is what Colin calls the trees next to my parents house...

Colin and Morgan raced in their little cars...

Papaw showed us what he has done to his VW Bus... it's a camper and he redid all the seats (actually he is redoing the whole thing!) and it looks awesome!  This is the bed in the back...

We had so much fun!

Playing in the rain.

 

Addison had her 15 month appointment today.  She is 34% weight (20 lbs) and 13% height (29").  And she got a couple shots... so when we got home, we enjoyed playing in the "rain"... it kept every one happy for a bit =)
I told Colin to smile for me so I could take his picture...

My Suzi girl.

 

We had a great weekend... got lots done... and now we relax in the sun =)

August 23

I love them.

 

We headed to the Honeybee Festival today!  Ironic that my husband is severely allergic to bees and yet, here we are at the bee festival =)  It was a lot of fun, there was music that Addison liked dancing to, and a playground where Colin liked playing!

That afternoon we were, once again, playing in the water =)

This time, poor Suzi got to play in the water too... she got bathed!  (she hates it by the way) but every one else had fun!

Downstairs.

 

Addison is getting good at going down the stairs... and she is getting these crazy looks down pretty well...

August 21

My boy.

 

This morning we met up with Kailey and Morgan!  We went to Dan Nicholas Park and had a blast!

After the park we went to the splash pad there!  Colin and Addison LOVED running through the water!

You can see Addison trying to drag me into it too!  =)

 

On the train...

 

After naps, we went outside, and guess what we did?!  Played in the water!  Surprised?!  =)
Colin put some water in a bucket and gave it to Suzi to drink.  I think this is her thanking him...

 

And then Addison wanted to give Suzi water, so she filled up this tiny, little cup...

And Suzi drank it too  =)

Playing in the sink.

 

Colin asked to take our picture and this is what he got =)

Running.

 

This little lady decided to skip her nap this afternoon... so we went out a took a few more pictures.  Then when Colin got up, we had some fun in the water!

August 18

Sliding to Colin.

 

When we are playing outside, Colin normally uses the water on the slide... so it is suuuper slippery.  Addison just flies down!  So Colin has started standing at the bottom to catch her =)

That morning, the kids found a grasshopper...

 

By the afternoon, we were back in the yard (with a change of clothes!)

August 17

Happy bday to me.

 

Today I turn 32!  I really had a great birthday weekend!  Today we went to church, played in the backyard, then had a yummy dinner downtown!  It was perfect =)

(oh, Colin took our selfie at the top!)

August 16

Having fun.

 

We kicked off my birthday weekend with a fun Saturday!  We headed to Monkey Joes!  Colin has been asking to go for awhile now, and Addison has never been on the bouncy things before.  She was unsure at first, but then warmed up a bit.  She would rather just run around the place though.

I am not sure who had more fun, Garet or Colin =)

I hate this was so blurry... we were "hiding" from Daddy and Addison...

We went to lunch then made it home in time for a great nap time.  After naps, we went outside and played some more!  At one point Colin told me, "Watch this water and see if it moves."  Here it is.  It didn't move.

Addison giving Suzi some water.  So sweet.

Fancy girl.

 

I took pictures of Addison today... I take pictures and update a neighbors Etsy site.  She just started doing some personalization for babies, so Addison was a perfect little model =)  This dress will be listed soon.

 

Of course, Colin had to get in on it =)

That afternoon, we hung out in the backyard.  I sure am going to miss summer!
