Our Summer So Far

I am absolutely loving staying home with my babies!
We are having a marvelous time together. Over the
past few weeks, we have had lots of fun and have made
lots of special memories!

Matthew and Logann at NaNa & Pop's House

Matthew and I went to his first drive-in movie. We took
Subway for dinner and M&M's to munch on during the
movie. We saw "Up." He actually sat and watched the
whole thing (except for the two trips to the potty!)

We have been to visit my best friend Rachel, her new
baby Tyler, Anthony, and their dog Maddie a few times
so far this summer. Matthew thinks that Maddie is just
wonderful. He likes to throw the ball for her and make
her do her tricks. He says, "Maddie loves me so much!"
I think it is just hilarious. Logann loves seeing little Tyler,
too! I love spending time with my babies and my best friend!

Baby Tyler

I took Matthew and Logann swimming. Logann loved
the water! She played for about 15 minutes, and then
was out like a light, so Matt-Matt and I could play in
the pool together. He had so much fun splashing
around and jumping from the side of the pool! I am
so glad they both seem to love the water so much.
Here are a few pics from the pool!

Getting Ready to Go!

He was ready to swim!


She loved the water!

Matthew begged me to take him to Chuck E
Cheese last week. I gavein, even though it is
a 45 minute drive (because I refuse to go to the
onethat is 20 minutes away because it is a place
only for thugs.) It was somewhat difficult
by myself, with Logann, but we had a fabulous
time anyways. Logann loved all the lights,
colors, and sounds. Matthew was so excited
that he had grown some since the last time
we went, and he could climb up the play
structure all by himself! He was such a big
boy. He put a couple tokens in his pockets,
and went and chose what games he wanted
to play, while I watched. I just can't believe
how much he is growing up!

Logann has just been fun to watch. She is
sitting up all by herself now. She loves to
eat crackers now with her two little chompers.
I think she may be getting more teeth because
she has been a little cranky, drooly, and chewy
lately. She is so wiggly. I have a feeling that she
will be walking rather quickly...mommy does
not like this! She is so precious.

I am so thankful that my job allows me to
have these fun times with my children during
the summer. We are planning many more
outings to see what kind of fun we can have.
My list of future outings includes the zoo, the
aquarium in Chattanooga, the science museum,
definitely another drive-in visit, more swimming,
and maybe a trip to the mountains!

On another note, we are making progress
with the floors! After a rough start, and
many trips to Lowe's and Home Depot,
we have it figured out. I love the way the
floors look so far! Here is a preview! :)
