Water-Filled Weekend

Our garden is still going strong.

I was finally able to put Brody into cute sandals.  He really likes tennis shoes, but I snuck these on. 

Watching the Ole Miss baseball game. 

Big Water Slide day at Mason's school.  He had been looking forward to it all week.  

Another Thursday night at the Germantown Farmer's Market.  John and Mason hitched a ride on the golf cart.  

Checking out the chickens. 

It is such a nice place to go after work on Thursdays with the fam.  Not to mention, we continue to run into so many people.  We found Emily and Jessica with their little guys.  

Ashley had a birthday Friday.  She is only 6 months older than me, but for those 6 months…it sounds so much older.  =)

Friday night, we went to Ben and Melissa's to watch the baseball game.  Unfortunately, it was postponed due to weather but we still got to spend some time with friends.  

Catey and Lawson. 

Kelly was there and my kids just loved playing with her…and terrorizing her dog.  =)

He was in Heaven. 

 Saturday morning, Brody and I went to Maggie's birthday party.  Mason went to my Mom's so he could swim with Brinkley.  Poor John had to meet the AC man at our rental property for a couple of hours.  

Brody is such a quiet little thing when around others.  

These two had so much fun together.  They ran in and out of that pool I don't know how many times.  They swam for HOURS.  Mason said he had "the funnest day ever".  

Case in point...

He passed out at five and could never wake back up.  He said his eyes just wouldn't open.  That is some hard playing.   

Saturday night we went to Live at the Garden to see Little Big Town.  My boss had tickets so we had dinner and enjoyed the concert with Daniel and Emily.  The weather was perfect and we had a great time.  

Not to mention, we ran into Lyndsey.  

These people are super talented. 

Fortunately, he was being good at he moment… (and excited to stand next to the cop car)

Sunday, we went to the Deibler's pool to swim.  We had such a good time!  The Captain (and his wife) never disappoint!  Mason reminded me of what it felt like growing up.  Being so ready to jump in the pool but my annoying Mom was lathering me up with sunscreen.  Not to mention, she was as slow as Christmas! Ha. 

Fish in the water.  

It took Brody a little while to really get comfortable in the water but by the end, he wanted to swim all by himself (and his puddle jumper).

Lunchtime = PBJs. 

I can't wait to take them to the beach this year. 

Loves him some sunglasses. 

 Such a good Dad.   

I feel like the boys are finally getting old enough to where we are enjoying every moment instead of just trying to get by.  I realize Brody is not even two yet and I will eat my words, but at least for that day, it was just a fun time.  

It certainly doesn't hurt to have helping hands.  =)

Turns out, Mason is pretty good at catching the football while jumping in the pool.  Such a little muti-tasker.  Here's an action shot of Melissa throwing him the ball.  

And he has perfected his cannon ball. 

Ms. Kelly made cupcakes.  

And we obviously enjoyed them...

The Captain let Mason dig up his garlic while we were there.  He held onto that thing until we got home.  Mrs. Terry told him you cut up garlic and put in spaghetti, so spaghetti it was for dinner.  He has eaten it the last two nights just because he is so proud of it.  A little trick I will remember for the future.  

Then we got home just in time for yard work...

 We had a super fun weekend in the sun.  I know two little boys who were worn out Monday morning.
