Splish Splash

We took Maddox and Maclain to the pool late yesterday evening.  Maddox was a little fish and is getting braver by the day.  Maclain was content to be held in the pool and didn't really show much emotion one way or the other.  At one point she even put her head down on my shoulder and almost went to sleep.  We had a great time!

Vacation Bible School

This past weekend our church had its annual Vacation Bible School.  It was done super-Saturday style, which we had never experienced before.  I taught the 2-3 year old class and boy were we exhausted at the end of the day!  Maddox was finally old enough to get something out of it and he did great.  I was worried about how he would do since I was teaching his class, but I was pleasantly surprised.  He loved it.  We had a great day and slept great that night!!

Heat Break

The temperature was down in the 80's yesterday... so we decided to take advantage and head to our neighborood park after naps.  The park was nice and shady and there was actually a nice breeze.  I can't wait to go back more often once Fall gets here.  Maddox is getting a lot more independent in what he can do, and Maclain is getting to an age where she can atually do a couple of things, too (mainly just swing... but she loves it).  We had a great afternoon and Daddy even came and met us when he got off work.  It was a great afternoon!

Love

I love these two with all my heart...

Sewing Orders

I have been staying very busy lately with sewing orders.  There is someone I know from back home that I have been sewing for and she wanted me to make some outfits for her 3 year old son, Eli.  Sometimes it is so hard to find cute things for little boys so I have been happy to help her out!  Here are some of the outfits I have done so far...

4th of July

Yesterday we loaded up the kids and drove to Alligator Point for the day.  I have to be honest, it sounded a lot better in my brain than how it actually played out.  Taking 2 young children to the beach is a process by itself, not to mention we had to park a good ways away from the beach and haul everything down there.  The "beach" was not anything like what we were used to.  It was dirty (probably because of recent storms) and there were no waves, which meant no breeze.  After being there a short time, we noticed a huge storm cloud coming our way so we decided to head on back.  All things considered, we still managed to have a good time hanging out as a family and we look forward to going back (to a different beach) soon. :)

We came home, let the kids nap while Daniel and I caught up on some Netflix, and then went out to eat...

Tuesday Randoms

Yesterday I gave Maclain a sippy cup for the first time... she has taken to it pretty well so far.  She puts EVERYTHING in her mouth so I thought she might like it.  I was right...

Maddox is loving him some chocolate milk these days and it's nothing for him to drink the entire thing before he even gets his food...

This morning I was watching my friend's boys and I was able to round them all up for a little coloring time...

And finally, tomorrow we will be heading out for a little day trip to Alligator Point.  It is the closest beach to us and is only about 45 miles away.  I am READY for some family time...
