Swim Time

Jacob's parents have a nice big pool, so we took the kids for their first big swim of the year!

Lily couldn't make up her mind whether she liked it or not. Whenever Jacob held her, she begged to be put down and when he put her down, she got scared and wanted back up.

She loves the water, but I think she just doesn't understand the big pool.

Levi on the other hand absolutely loved it! He just hung out in his float kicking his little legs around.

This picture just makes me laugh - Jacob was busy!

I forgot to get swim diapers for Levi (we have a re-useable one for Lily) so he got quite water-logged! LOL

Busy Weekend

We had a crazy weekend! On Friday night we headed out for a little family night.

We ate at 5 Guy's for supper.

Next we headed to the park to do Lily's favorite activity - swinging!

Mr. Levi tried out the swings for the first time and seemed to enjoy it alot.

Lily didn't want to do anything else. So we stayed at the swings the whole time!

Then we went to the mall to ride the carousel. It was Lily's first time! She seemed to like it at first, but she got a little scared towards the end of the ride. She might have been getting dizzy or something.

We stopped by Claire's and found a little purse on sale. Lily loves putting her "keys" and "cell phone" in it when it's time to go somewhere.

After we got the kids in bed, Jacob and I played the Wii. I beat him at boxing, but he killed me at everything else. Ha!

On Saturday, Jacob drove up to Memphis to play for a friend's wedding. He didn't get done til late, so he stayed overnight and came straight to church Sunday morning. It was quite an accomplishment for me to make it to church on time (early, actually!) since I had to get everyone ready alone! ha.

Uncle Judah reading to Lily and some other kids after church. Lily will pretty much sit with anyone who offers to read to her.

We ate dinner with Jacob's family. Grandpa got to feed Levi for the first time. He hasn't lost his touch over the years!

Jacob had to play for a funeral Sunday afternoon, so the kids and I headed home for naps. Lily had fallen asleep for a little bit during church, so she wasn't ready for another nap. After Levi went down, she and I made these chocolate covered clementines for the fellowship at church Sunday night. They turned out really yummy, although they are kind of different.

Levi is doing really well! I think all the stitches are dissolved and he's pretty much completely healed up. We have post-op this week. He chews on his fingers and toes all the time, so his little lip stays red most of the time. If he hits himself in the face with a toy, or bangs his face on the floor when he rolls over, he just screams and screams. I feel so bad for him! Hopefully the tenderness with get better over time.

Chewing his toes is his new favorite thing to do! Ha.

Hope y'all had a great weekend!

One Week

Last Friday morning, Miss Lily decided she wanted to wear big girl panties and hasn't looked back since! Yes, she is potty trained. . . of her own choosing. We do still put a diaper on her at night (over her panties), but she's been just barely wet in the mornings. When she sets her mind to something, she's bound and determined to do it I suppose!

The picture was in honor of National Chocolate Ice Cream Day on Tuesday - although we didn't have real chocolate ice cream, we made this Vegan Ice Cream and it is super yummy!
