Aunt Kim's birthday

The day started with an awesome ball game from the Tigers!  Hayden knocked the fire out of the ball every time she came up to bat.  She also stopped a ball that I was pretty sure she wouldn't be able to get to and she caught a fly ball but lost control of it...but it still counts in my Mommy book.  She truly amazes me at her talent.  They won the ball game 19-6!!!!


Then it was off to celebrate Aunt Kim's birthday.  She chose to spend it at the Sandy Creek Lake in Athens.  Kim and Artie took their kayaks and hammocks and all sorts of other stuff.  Hayden and Mark went in one kayak and Kim took Colton and Gracie in another one.  They really enjoyed it especially Colton.  He really likes boats!  After the kayaks we took them to the beach area and they got to swim.  That was by far their favorite part.  My kids LOVE to swim and be in water...all three of them.  After some swimming it was time for food and presents.  I think Aunt Kim enjoyed her birthday and got every thing she really wanted. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Field Day 2014

Friday was field day at GWA.  The girls were so excited they couldn't wait.  Aunt Linda kept Colton so that I could chase both girls around and take pictures....and enjoy it without trying to make sure Colton didn't run away.  He is extremely fast sometimes! 

This was Gracie's first field day and she couldn't quit smiling.  She participated in every thing which kind of surprised me a little.  I am so glad she is coming out of her shell just a little bit.  She was so excited about getting sprayed by the fire truck, well that is until she bumped heads with another little boy and she was done and by done...I mean done.  She then realized she was cold, tired and ready to go.  Overall, she thoroughly enjoyed her first field day!

Hayden is a pro at field day.  She loves all of the activities, but the fire truck is by far her favorite too.  I guess because they are such water babies they just love whatever kind of water they can get.  It was so cold but she didn't care at all.  She ran through it with the biggest smile ever.  She also ended up throwing the baseball at like 34mph, which really surprised all the parents and seniors! 

It was a great day and Colton had the best time with Aunt Linda and Grandmama.  Thank you so much Aunt Linda, I don't know what I would do without you!!!

 

 

Last Weekend

Last weekend, Hayden spent the night with a friend from school for a birthday party.  They went to American Girl Store and had a slumber party.  I think they stayed up all night but they sure did have lots of fun.  I am so glad she has such great little friends at school.  Mark and I had a wedding to go to so we asked Mimi and Pop if Colton and Gracie could spend the night with them.  At first they said NO,  yeah right....who believed that!!!  They were very glad to have them over.  I am pretty sure they stayed in the hot tub the whole time, especially Colton.  Oh and they also went shopping for a new pooh since Gracie forgot to get her real pooh out of the jeep. 

After they all got home, we were invited to a friends house to go swimming.  You would have thought we told them they were going to Disney World the way they screamed and jumped up and down when I told them.  The water was very cold but guess what...they didn't care at all!  They had fun and wore themselves completely out!
