Painting with Friends

Wednesday afternoon, we headed to Pottery By You which is now open right here in Athens. :) I am so excited that they opened one in town and I hope that it will be able to stay for a while. Tashia, Angela, and I let the girls pick out a figure to paint. They loved it!! They were so quiet and really concentrated on their masterpiece even though they may all turn out gray. I hope we will do it again and have a big girls night of painting soon too.

Swimming Lessons

This week, Katie Lee participated in swimming lessons. It was so much better this year. She did great. She is not completely swimming on her own but is much closer. I am very proud of her.

She is the one that just jumped in without floaties.
Floated on her back.
Played with friends.

Father's Day

Katie Lee could not wait to give her daddy his gifts. She did a great job of not telling him what it was even though she did try and give hints all week. Her hand painted picture turned out cute too. Katie Lee was all about her daddy yesterday. She told me that since it was Father's day, Daddy had to do everything with her and for her (which explains why she had a come apart when he got up to pass communion at church yesterday morning ).
We celebrated Father's Day last night with supper at our house.
Daddies, Granddaddy, and the littles
Kid exchange. :)

I hope that our daddies had the best Father's Day.

Cousin Fun!

The last few days have been full of cousin fun.

Thursday, we visited baby Harper, Kindall, and Paige. Baby Harper was too cute and so tiny.

These two girls had so much fun playing. Katie Lee thought Kendall was so funny.
That night after VBS, we ate at Burger King. Since it was Langdon's first trip there, Katie Lee thought they needed crowns.
Saturday night was Langdon's first visit to our house. Katie Lee was so excited because Aunt Kitty let her feed Langdon all by her self.
After his bath, he loved Katie Lee's bed and DogDog.
We also worked on a Father's Day Project.

Katie Lee in the Garden

Wednesday morning, we took a stroll through the flower garden at Delano Park in Decatur. It was our first trip and it was just lovely.

"Always remember the beauty of the garden, for there is peace."

Beach Vacation

Last week, we spent the week at the beach. I LOVE a beach vacation each year. This year we went with the Moss Family. We had a good time. It was really nice to have Donnie with us for an entire week and no work! Beware lots of pictures ahead.


We spent lots of time playing in the sand,
jumping in the pool,
and having fun with friends.



We played at The Track on all of the rides.

We ate lots of good food and ice cream at bedtime.

Summer is Here!!

Well, maybe summer is not officially here according to the calendar, but according to any teacher around summer is here!! Our start to summer has been great. Last weekend was full of birthday parties. (3 to be exact)I did not do a good job taking pictures of all of our events. We celebrated Memorial Day with family and a cook out. The week has been full of catching up around the house, lots of play, my 13 week doctor's visit to check out Baby Helums and ended the week with a pool party with friends. If our weeks continue like this, we are going to have a fantastic summer!


Katie Lee loved sliding and jumping off the diving board.
Memorial Day fun with Poppie.
Playing school with her dolls, a "smart board", and my glasses.
Finishing our week with another great pool party.
