Fun at the pool

by Adrienne on July 29, 2010

We had another fun day at the pool yesterday. Wesley will be in Asheville with my Dad next week, and the week after that is when school starts, so yesterday was his last day at the pool.  He made a sweet Thank You card for Aunt Merrily.

He also made up some awesome super hero jumps.

The Batman..

The Wolverine..

and the Spiderman..

Emma made some progress.

She even went out in the water (on a float) with Lucy.  This is the first time this summer that she has made it off of the steps.

Ava spent most of the day (as usual) hanging out with Aunt Merrily.  Some people might even say that she is a “baby hog”. ;)

It was a fun day!

I did it by myself!

by Adrienne on July 27, 2010

Today I took all three kids to a movie, lunch at chick-fil-a, and to play at the play area in the mall, and I did it all by myself!  Eric and I discussed taking the kids to the free movie together, but ended up talking ourselves out of it last night.  Ava was up this morning at 6 AM and I decided to go ahead and get up and get it together, so I could take them.  I was determined.  I guess I should mention that I haven’t been brave enough to take them anywhere, other than a friend or family members house, by myself.  We went to see Veggie Tales The Pirates who don’t do anything.

Everything went well, except for a little mishap with Emma’s pull up.  It leaked while she was sitting on my lap.  Thank goodness for those powerful bathroom hand dryers.  After we got that cleaned up everything was fine, and the kids loved the movie.  We ate lunch at one of our favorites places, Chick-fil-a.

After lunch I let the kids burn off some energy at the play area.

Clearly, Ava was exhausted from getting up so early.

I’m feeling really brave.  Who knows what else we might do this week!

Saturday

by Adrienne on July 24, 2010

Ava loves her Daddy.

She also loves her new pedicure.

Oh yes I did.

Today I got to spend some time with my little buddy. We were going to go out for ice cream, but he decided he wanted a giant slice of cookie instead.

Eric and I have been trying to take him and do things with just him.  We feel like he gets the “short end of the stick” a lot of times.  Emma and Ava need a lot of attention, and he is so patient and loving with them. He is spending the night tonight with my Mom, so it will be fun for him to have a little break from his sisters.

I miss him already.

A little bit of cuteness

by Adrienne on July 22, 2010

Emma and Olivia just so happened to have on their matching bathing suits at the pool yesterday.

What cute little cousins.

Ava is growing so much.  She is smiling and cooing now and it is SOOOOOO ADORABLE!  She was cooing in this picture.

This little gown that she has on was Wesley’s……sigh….I can’t believe that he will be EIGHT next month!  Anyway, it’s the only thing that all three of my babies have worn.  It’s also really soft and has a cute matching blanket.

Is she the sweetest thing or what??!!

V.B.S. 2010

by Adrienne on July 17, 2010

We have had so much fun at V.B.S. this week!  It made for a very busy week, but ALL of us (even Eric and I) had a great time!

Here we are in our V.B.S. t-shirts.

I worked in the nursery ( Ava’s class ) and I really enjoyed it.  We had a great group of workers and I think we probably had the best job at Bible school.  Emma LOVED Bible school this year and did great in her class.  She’s been singing all the little songs she learned this week.  Wesley said “this was the best V.B.S. ever” and I think I agree.  The Lads where there each night and we are all now big time Lads fans.

Last night was family fun night and it was a great end to an awesome week!

We enjoyed The Lads in concert.

Wesley with The Lads.

After the concert we went outside for inflatables, snow cones, and a petting zoo.

Eric did  pictures and video and I may put some of those up once he gets them edited.  I’m sure they’re a little better than my pictures. :)

Tinkerbell

by Adrienne on July 9, 2010

Emma’s favorite movie to watch lately has been Peter Pan.  She was so excited to get a Tinkerbell costume from Gammy when she was in town this past weekend.  She wore it for two days straight and even slept in it one night.  Yesterday she was watching Peter Pan and fell asleep.  I had to take a picture of the little sweetie in her costume with her toys.
