Weekend fun!

 

 

 

 

Well, the weekend started out a little early for us. On Thursday, Noah and Ally's friend, Tess, came over for a swim at Mimi's and Pawpaw's pool. Noah and Ally love playing with her and can't wait for baby brother Hutch to join in on the fun.

The next day, we all got to go to my cousin's Stephanie's house, also know as Overton Acres. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a great time. My sister's children were also there and Alexis got to enjoy the paddle boat with cousin Molly while Noah got to swing from the zip line. Anna Klaire and Ally rode the see saw and tire swings with Meredith and Susan. It was such a fun day. Thank you Stephanie for having us and making memories for mamaw and for all of us.

Later that evening, we headed to Hot Springs for a little lake time. Our good friends, Laura and Adam, got to enjoy the lake with us. Noah and Ally love Meemow and Peepow's new pontoon. Daddy takes them tubing with him while mommy prays every minute they do not fall off. They love it though. Noah loves it when daddy falls off and wants him "to do it again." I can't believe how beautiful and peaceful Lake Ouachita is. It is so nice just to get away from reality for a bit.

It was a great weekend, but at the end of the day on Sunday, we all were worn out from a busy and exciting weekend. Now time to rest up for another busy week.

A child's language!

When Noah and Ally talk and pronounce their words, it is the cutest thing to me. I keep telling Travis we need to get a tape recorder to record them talking to one another. They really do not have long depth conversations, but when they do speak to one another, it melts my heart.

Things Noah says:
Although we do not watch Spongebob, great grandma gave Noah a spongebob toy. Noah calls him "Spongejob." It is so funny.
We just recently bought a new house and everyday Noah wants to know if our new house is there yet. "Is it ready yet, Mommy?"
Noah always has a "good idea" as he would call it.

Now when Ally talks, she talks and talks and talks. She uses her hands when she is talking to you like everything she says is so important.
Things Ally says:
"Hold you"(like every other child), she calls Noah "bubbie"; "rock rock" when she wants me to rock her; "sunshine" when she wants me to sing "You are my sunshine"; she says "hand" when she wants to take you somewhere; when you ask her a question and she wants to do that particular thing, she says "sure", but it is the way she says it that is so cute.

These are just a few memories I want to write down and share before I forget and they stop saying them.

I'm Convinced!!!

I did it! I started our family blog. I have been tempted to do this for awhile and I was convinced today while I was working with one of my precious little old ladies. I tend to ask my patients when their favorite time was throughout their life. Miss B. told me today that hers was when her children were little. How much fun she had with them and the cute little things that they said. She mentioned how she wished she would have written those funny sayings down because now it is so easy to forget. Right then it hit me. I need to start this blog. I need to record this time in my children's life for it can easily get forgotten with time. Well, thanks to Miss B., as well as my friends Ashley, Jenny and many more, I did it!

To Noah and Ally, this is for you as well as it is for me, to look back at this time and remember those fun times we had, the funny things you have said and how special each memory was. I love you each so much!
