Play Night at Church

Last night was our Children's Summer Play Night at church. Suprisingly, we were not sweating to death! The kids had lots of fun jumping in the inflatables, riding bikes and trikes, face painting, playing in the bubbles and with sidewalk chalk!

Here is the car that another friend brought...Pierce and Carter did not want to share it with each other!
Pierce would run around and say, "I'm hot!"

Biscuits Game

Yesterday was the Krebs sponsored day at the Biscuits game with M's office. In the past, they've had it in Atlanta for a Braves game, but the last few years it has been closer. Their Montgomery office hosts everyone and had lots of activities for all the kids before the game including a bounce house, coloring contest, goodie bags for all the kids, along with several other games for the older ones.

Headed to the ball park...

We enjoyed yummy food on the pavilion in our reserved area, but it was SUPER hot...even at 8:00. Luckily, there was a playset there for the little kids and inflatables to get energy out!

Boys and Their Toys!

A friend of M's let him borrow this last night (of course without me knowing it!). He was smiling from ear to ear when he got home and Pierce was excited about "Daddy's mo-cyle". I quickly informed him that daddy was just playing with it and it wouldn't be back! Pierce had fun sitting on it in the driveway while it was NOT turned on!

Alabama Adventure

We have made several trips to Alabama Adventure with friends. It's always a fun and exhausting day! Pierce is still not big on doing the waterslides alone but loves time in the lazy river!

Sweet Lily! Love that she wore her sunglasses all day!

Snack time for the boys!

James loves the water!

SPIDERMAN!

Yesterday, we helped James celebrate his 3rd birthday at his Spiderman party! The kids had lots of fun playing in the water and going down the waterslide. Pierce thought he would hang with the big kids and go down the slide, but instead sat at the top until Claire pulled him down with her! Then he would run to me and give me a high five and say "I did it!".

Even Spiderman showed up! I thought Pierce would be scared of him, but he LOVED him!! He got super excited and was screaming his name and waving at him.

Happy Birthday, James! We hope you had a fun day!!

Ready for cooler weather???

Apparently, Pierce is tired of this super hot weather! He dug this winter wear out and has been wearing it around the house!

Climb, Jump, Dance & Play...

....these are just a few of the things that we did yesterday! We met friends for a much cooler indoor playdate at Cherub's Clubhouse. Pierce danced around at the Kindermusic class then we headed to their indoor play area to get out some energy.

The kids had fun and us moms were happy to have tired kids!

Annual Fourth on the Farm!

Each year the fourth has turned into an annual trip at the farm with my parents. It's also a special time because my sister and her family always come here from Texas. We had not seen them in almost 8 long months!

It's a good thing we both have boys, we always have lots of outdoor fun...riding the jeep, four-wheeler, tractor, fishing, swimming, and just being boys playing outside!No worries...they only rode in the driveway and Pierce's daddy was in the backseat to grap him in case he decided to make a quick getaway!
Picking fresh veggies with Poppa for Gigi to cook!

Pierce has never been a fan of ice cream, popsicles, yogurt...anything really cold to eat. He thought he would try this ice-pop though since his older cousin was. Whatever he did, Pierce decided he needed to do it too!
Aunt Mallory even came to visit us at the pool.
Sisterly love...
Quite possibly the sweetest baby ever, Sullivan. He is the most precious thing! Just a reminder of how little we get to see them. The last time we saw them he was only two weeks old!
Pierce and Sullivan...it was so sweet how quickly Pierce took to him. We always talk about him but I'm not sure that he really knew who he was. Pierce loved just to sit and talk to him and take him toys.
Playing in the sprinkler is just more fun in your Elmo underwear!
Yummy snacks at the pool that Mrs. "Wibby" made.
Cousins riding the tractor with Poppa...
Another annual tradition has been having a huge fireworks show. Pierce's daddy and "B" have always been in charge of it so really we've never sat as a family and watched fireworks. This year, there weren't tons of people there and it was only us. And, just a few fireworks "for the boys". Here are Poppa and his helpers getting them ready...
This was the first year for Pierce to even see them, he's always been asleep. He thought they were loud and liked them best in daddy's lap with his ears covered!
And finally, the annual photo op of the boys. It's so rare for them to be together that we try to get some type of special pictures. Normally, we dress them up and go down to the lake. This year, the baby was asleep so we just took a few around the house. You can tell that Chapman lives in Texas since he is sporting his boots with his shorts and longhorns cap!




I'm pretty sure that my nephew, Chapman, is one of the funniest kids I have ever seen! Too bad I didn't get his redneck imitations on video! We are thankful for such sweet time and memories with our family. I think it makes it more special since we rarely see each other. Pierce adores all of them too! We can't wait to make more memories next year!!
