Fabulous Weekend

We had a fairly fabulous weekend. I guess I should say a fairly fabulous Saturday. Jason had to work most of Sunday so that stinks. But the weather was great on Saturday, probably around 75-80 degrees. And it didn't even rain which is quite different from every other day around here. We usually get at least one rain shower a day. Jason and I were working on our back "yard" doing a little landscaping. It is another elaborate Jason plan that involves water drainage and rocks. Yikes. Other than that we had a little ice cream on the deck and enjoyed the weather. Here are some pictures. Evan got his hair cut. I don't enjoy the look of it but it will grow out quickly. I think it is because he looks so grown up. He is still my baby!

Happy Father's Day!

We had a lovely Father's Day. Jason had to work until about noon, but then he was ours after that. I make it sound like we did lots of exciting things. Wrong. We finally cleaned up the garage....at least enough so that I could get my car in it. That was a huge accomplishment. After that, Evan took a nap while Baby Girl got up for a little lunch. Jason started to work on the backyard doing a little landscaping. He didn't get very far before he and Evan (who was up from his nap by then) had to come inside for a little dinner. The day went by very quickly without too many blow ups. Sounds like a good day in my book!

P.S. Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

Father's Day

Jason's family tries to all get together every Father's Day. Unfortunately with our recent move and Jason having to work this weekend, we weren't able to meet up with everyone in Tazewell, VA. Even though we weren't there in person, we were there in spirit. As you can see there is definitely a talented artist in the family. I have a feeling it was the artwork of either Aunt Joy or Aunt Joshlyn. I believe the order of everyone from left to right is: Grandma Joyce, Uncle Larry, Aunt Connie, Wendell, Sarah, Baby Reagan, Uncle Nathan, The Questionmarks (Us), Aunt Joshlyn, Uncle Bill, Cousin Gracie, Uncle Olaf, Aunt Joy, Grandma Betty, Steffony and her sons Josh and Alex. What a gathering. It was too bad we couldn't make it. Just in case you were wondering, the folks in the picture are Jason's siblings Nathan, Steffony and Sarah.

The Babes

So baby girl went to the new doctor today for her six month check up. Everything went well until the shots. They seemed to hurt more this time than any other. She wailed for a while. Otherwise, she is growing like a weed. Not some much out but up. She weighs 14 lbs. 6 oz., which puts her just in the 13th percentile. She was 27 in. long which now puts her in the 85th percentile and her head was 17 1/2 in., so that now puts her head circumference in the 90th percentile. She is staying on her growth curves so that is nice. I suppose she will just have to be happy with tall and skinny....with a huge head! Everything else is going well. Still unpacking. I will hopefully post pictures when the house is picture worthy. I posted some pictures of Evan and Avery taken today. Avery loves the camera but it seems I burned Evan out on pictures because now it is like pulling teeth to get a good picture out of him! oh well.

A bit of nature

So these pictures turned out reallllllly blurry but I thought I would show you what went running through our backyard the other evening. In case you can't tell (clearly the camera was on the wrong setting)....it is a fox. And then this morning on the way to baby girl's doctors appointment, we saw a bald eagle flying over the lake near our house! Crazy nature.

Happy Mother's Day

I had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday. I wish Jason had been here to share in the fun and although he was missed, we still had a blast anyway. Diddy had a race a VIR (Virginia International Raceway) near Danville, VA. His sister, brother-in-law and father came up from NC to see him race along with GiGi, Auntie JJ and the Davis Gang. We arrived just in time to see him qualify on the pole position for his class of car. However, when it came to the race a crazy driver several cars back floored it, ran into the grass, lost control because he was going too fast and came back onto the track just in time to smack right into Diddy's car spinning him all around the track into other cars and the barrier. Poor guy didn't even get to race the first lap. I have put some pictures up of our day. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too cold. Evan had a blast. He even helped Diddy with his tire. It was SOOOOO CUTE! Both children were completely exhausted from all the fun and slept very well last night. I know I have only had two of them, but this was the best Mother's Day yet!

A Little Fun In The Sun

The kids and I went with Auntie JJ to the lake today. We had to cut the day short because of the severe thunderstorm that rolled through. But we had a blast anyway. We couldn't keep Evan out of the water. Avery was pretty much oblivious to the whole thing. Here are some pictures from our adventure. Man, those are some good lookin' kids!
