Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day Weekend was a fun and relaxing weekend for us! Aside from getting Elizabeth a new bed, we just hung out, and (finally) got our living room really clean after it being a total wreck from our suitcases and all of their toys. Alan ended up working on Monday - his company is really cool about holidays and since we're having to take off two days to go to the beach soon, he figured he'd go ahead and work so he'll only use up one vacation day instead of two. The kiddos and I were headed over to some friends house and Alan was supposed to meet us there once he got off work (he works with my friend's husband), but Elizabeth ended up taking a marathon nap and woke up about 10 minutes before Alan got home!

We had a blast with our friends! We grilled hot dogs and sausage, ate some yummy food, and watched the kiddos play in the water. I can't wait until David is old enough to join in the fun too! Until then, however, he was pretty content being held and watching his older sister and friends play.

Yummy cookie!

Sweet boy!

Big Girl Bed

While the kids and I were in Texarkana, Elizabeth slept in her Uncle Dustin's bed. And she loved it! I was worried that she wouldn't do a good job coming back to her crib, but she went on as if it didn't phase her one bit. Well, this weekend, Alan and I decided to go ahead and get her "big girl bed." Her crib converts to both a toddler bed and full-size bed, but we skipped the toddler and went straight to the full bed.

Saturday after her nap, Alan put together Elizabeth's bed. She was very excited and kept asking if Alan was "Done." And when he was finally finished, we all jumped in her new bed to test it out. :)

Saturday night/Sunday morning wasn't the most fun, as in she woke up several times and was up for the day well before 5:30, so we're hoping she adjusts quickly!

He's getting too big!

Can I climb in?

Sweet face!

Checking it all out

Off to Brenham we go!

Today the munchkins and I got to go to The Southern Flyer Diner and Blue Bell with some friends of ours. We had a ton of fun hanging out with them and getting to eat yummy food (and more importantly, yummy ice cream!!), watch a plane take off, and see how they make ice cream. Miss E wasn't too fond of taking posed pictures, but I did manage to get a few cute ones of her. I'm hoping we can go back when we have family in town. It was definitely a fun half-day trip! E and D were also dressed in very appropriate attire, thanks to their Gammie! Elizabeth had ice cream cones on her dress and David wore an ice cream truck shortall - so cute and handsome!

She wanted "blue" ice cream...

Time to Catch-Up

Yet again I've been an awful blogger the past few weeks. Last week, however, was kind of understandable as I was in Texarkana hanging out with my parents. I have several posts that I need to do on that visit, plus someone turned 7 months old last week! Check back for links to all the posts that I'm planning on backdating. :)

Also, I'm missing pictures from Elizabeth's first haircut. I took Gammie's little camera (so I wouldn't have to lug my big one around) and forget to get a CD of the pictures before I left. So hopefully soon I'll be able to do that post!

And because no post is complete without a picture of my little munchkins...

David LOVES the grass!! He'd eat fistfuls
if I let him. :)

And Elizabeth LOVES to swing! The higher
the better. :)

Yummy corn!

... and thoroughly enjoying
every bit!

Happy boy!

Swimming!

The first three or four times we got in the pool, Elizabeth was not a fan... It was hard to get her to stay in more than a couple minutes, and she'd just cry the entire time. Which none of us expected since she loves bath time so much and is always pretending to be a fish. David, however, loved it! Whether he was in his float or hanging out in someones arms, he was as content and happy as could be.

Saturday, we hung out in the pool before lunch (again, Elizabeth wasn't a fan...) and were planning on getting back in after we ate a yummy lunch of burgers. I ended up needing to put David down for a nap and fully intended on Elizabeth being inside not long after, but some how Alan and Pops got her to love the pool. By the end of the afternoon she was loving being thrown up in the air and going under water! Hopefully this love of the water continues since we're going to the beach with her cousins this summer!

Unfortunately, I don't have any of David on my camera. My Dad has some on his, so I'll have to add some once I get those pictures. :)
