FRIDAY FUN: WINERY

Friday was lots of fun.  After going to the zoo with Brittany and Bonnie, I went to Jones to get Caroline.  Nanno decided to stay at the house with Caroline and Carter so I got to go to the winery in Luther with Daddy, Kelli, and Marty.  It was such a nice one.  We had quite the character for our hostess/guide.  She got pretty tipsy to put it nicely, but she was very entertaining!!!  She gave us all the tastings we wanted and she took us on a tour.  I thought we would be there for an hour at the most, but it turned into 3 hours!!!  When we got back to the house we grilled out.  What a fun day!!!

OH HOW I LOVE SUMMER!!!

I think I'm going to have a hard time going back to work after this summer!!!  Last summer was great because we brought home a new baby and got to see all our family, but there were some hard and crazy times too.  I'm loving getting to spend time with my babies and getting to spend time with friends and family.  I've been getting to hang out with Brittany and Bonnie and get out of the house and do some things with them.  I got to see one of my favorite friends Jessica and catch up with her the other night.  One more month and then it's back to school and football season.

LOTS OF HANGING OUT IN OUR BACKYARD!!

YEA.  DADDY IS FINISHED WITH DRIVER'S ED!!!

THE BIG DAY IS HERE.... TOY STORY

Jeremiah has been waiting months to take Caroline to see her first movie- Toy Story.  Yesterday was the day.  Caroline was so excited that she had to dress up for the occasion.  You would have thought she was going to a movie premiere in which she was the star.  Amanda went with us and I got to go because Joy stayed at home with Carter.  Thank you Joy!!!  Caroline talked our ears off the entire way there.  She was great during the movie.  I don't think I've ever seen her be that still and quiet for that long!!!!  The only thing that bothered her was the loud sound and she wasn't heavy enough to keep the seat down so it kept flipping up on her.  

GETTING READY.

WHAT A FUN TIME!!!

MONDAY... FUNDAY

Monday evening Chris, Brittany, and Catch (Best Friend) came over for a visit and dinner.  Carter and Catch had not seen each other in about a month, but it wasn't long before Catch was giving Carter those sweet hugs.  I think Caroline showed Catch more attention than she's ever shown Carter.   She was pretty crazy about him.  Caroline got to model several outfits ranging from The Little Mermaid to Snow White.  I'm sure Chris is just dying to have a baby girl right away .  Haha!!  It was lots of fun to do something with friends and be able to watch the kids play too.

FATHER'S DAY= RASH

We had a fun father's day.  We went with Nanno and Pops to the Classen Grill for a delicious breakfast.  Then Caroline left with Nanno and Pops.  They went to the garden and picked some zucchini then went back to their house and visited and played.  By the time they brought her back home, so had a rash on her cheeks and shoulders.  The next morning it was worse.  Her cheeks were puffy, it had spread further down her arm, and it felt hot when you touched it.  I decided to take her and Carter in to the doctor to get checked out.  The verdict was that she had contact dermatitis and Carter has a cold.  (no ear infection)  She does not like her hydrocortisone gel, but can't play outside until it's gone.  No more gardening for Caroline!!!

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY: DRESS UP

OH NO. MY BABIES HAVE GROWN TAILS!!!

Caroline's new favorite thing to do is to give everyone toilet paper tails.  She even gave me one without knowing it and I went outside with it and did yard work.  Silly girl!!!

SWIMMING

We got to go swimming over the weekend in a bigger pool than ours in the backyard.  Caroline loved it and Carter liked it a little bit.
