My Date

It was girls' weekend while the boys hunt.  Ridley and I ran several errands and did a little shopping.  We ended up at one of our favorite restaurants for dinner.  Yummy!  Love this silly girl so much, and I enjoy our time together.

Fishing

We headed to Bob Jones Park to enjoy some family time and catch a few huge fish.  After a trip to Academy, we had all the fishing gear we needed.  John Chris set the boys up and reviewed some basic skills.  Ryland was very interested in fishing, and he was dedicated to catching the biggest fish.  He pulled in a beauty, but it wasn't quite as big as he had wanted.  He didn't give up.

Reed's experience was completely different.  He fished for a little while but was quickly bored after not catching anything.  He enjoyed looking at the ducks and playing on the nearby playground.

Ridley watched all the fishing action, but she liked the ducks and playground better too.

Fun times with Reed

I am really loving my alone time with Reed while the big boys hunt. Our favorite errand was visiting Toys R Us.  We must have been there for an hour and half, and we spent time playing with the fun toys while picking out a friend's birthday gift. 

The Hulk mask got Reed's attention, and he insisted on trying it on.  When I first put it to my face, he started crying, so I started singing and dancing until he laughed.  He then wanted to take a turn.  He transformed into dancing Hulk. 

I love my little Reedo to pieces!



Ryland's first hunting trip

John Chris took Ryland on his first hunting trip this weekend.  It was an all boys weekend at the camp, and they had an absolutely awesome time. They ended up with two big hogs and lots of memories.

 

 

 

 

Slip'n slide

We brought out the slip'n slide today since the pool is still a little cold to enjoy. 

Ryland had a blast!

Reed was pretty apprehensive.  He would walk around, but he wasn't going to fall down on the slip'n slide.  He splashed in the puddle at the end and laughed.

Our favorite moment of the day was watching the boys ride on the big wheel together.

Kids and their toys

We traveled to Lake Claiborne for the weekend to hang out with the Owens and Wood families. The lake house was beautiful and had plenty of room for all of us and our necessary junk.

The kiddos loved these little cars and enjoyed being pushed around in them. John Chris took Harker and Ryland for a spin around the kitchen.

Oh no! This car has problems. John Chris and Rodney put this together, and I think they forgot some screws.

Harker loves the new "convertible", and she rides shotgun on Ryland's lap.

Obviously, Ryland wasn't pleased with this, so he started pushing her and screaming. KIDS!

Game night

We all headed over to the Woods' home for some weekend fun. The kiddos are so funny together, and I just love to watch them interact. After the babies went down, us grownups played a game of 90s Trivial Pursuit. Let me just start off by saying, I suck at any kind of trivia or q & a. Needless to say, Robert, my partner, carried our team to victory.

Pretty obvious that these old dads have had way too much fun.
Thanks for having us over!

Chimy's

After a morning of fun, we headed over to Chimy's for a quick visit with Uncle MoMo. Ryland loved sitting outside and people watching. He was mesmerised by the straws and bottles.

Cheese! Ryland was starting to wear down. Time for a nap!
Ryland and Uncle MoMo like to hang out. Ryland is a chick magnet, and Uncle MoMo enjoys Ryland's leftovers.

These boys chew on the same straw. Yuck!

Perfect Sunday

Ryland and Dad are having a blast.
The boys are all cuddled together. Cooper always has to be right there with the crew.

It was beautiful outside, so we all went out to play frisbee and take some pictures.

Party with the babies

We had several friends and their babies over to grill and watch a little football. It was total craziness but a ton of fun. The guys had fun chillin with the babies, but Jackson is missing. (His mom must have been taking care of a diaper.)
Ella was chowing down on some tasty food. Aunt Chanda had a great time entertaining her while the guys watched the game.

We met Uncle Morgan at Mellow Mushroom and then traveled to "his bar".
