GG and GP come visit

GG and GP came to visit us in Nashville. They arrived late Monday 8/12 and got to stay until Saturday 8/17! We had a good time. I took them to the Nashville public library downtown for story time and then sevier park for the farmers market and Popsicle tradition on Tuesdays.

This one made me smile, had to take a pic for Billy.
I was impressed with the country Music Hall of Fame, lots to see and it had a lot of history on all genres of how country music came to be as popular as it is now.

Kyle has started MDO twice a week and loves it. She goes Monday and Wednesday which is nice for her- 9 to 3.


She picked out her outfit for her first day. Lovey of course in tow.

Hunter is 6 months

It is hard to believe that Hunter is already 6 months! He's such a sweet little guy- always smiling, laughing and cooing.


Our monthly photo with the bears. Hunter 6 months and Kyle 2 years!


I was able to get a solo picture of him with his bear.


Hunter and the bumbo don't mix well so he's in the high chair already. This was actually a good thing because it got Kyle into the booster seat which is so nice to have her eat with us at the table like a big girl!


We finally found him a baseball cap that fits. His hair is still so thin and fair I don't want baldy to burn.


Happy 6 months my sweet little blessing! Here are his milestones:
~got his two teeth in- I forgot how bad teething is, but after a few days with Tylenol he's gotten used to them.
~can sit up with support, only a few seconds independently
~bedtime usually between 6&6:30!
~takes two naps and is our sleeper at night (still pray this continues😊)
~eating solids, likes sweet potatoes and bananas best. (Like his daddy and sister doesn't like the greens)

Jack Daniels Distillery Tour - 7/28/13

We took a day trip on Saturday to drive to Lynchburg, TN to visit the Jack Daniels Distillery. It was about an hour and fifteen minute drive to get there and the tour was about the same length and kid friendly. I had made reservations at a highly recommended restaurant at 11 for after our tour, Miss Mary BoBo's.

Playdate with the Richter's

Last Friday Jodie was off so we met her family at Sevier Park to play and eat lunch on 12 South.


On our walk from the park to eat lunch. We attempted Burger Up but it was too packed so we ate at Sloco- it was amazing! Great sandwiches!



After lunch we of course had to go next door to Las Paletas for Popsicles.


Kyle tried the blueberry chocolate chip.


What a great day! Fun times with Jodie, Grace and Luke.

Maryland Farms Pool

The YMCA here is awesome. We joined at the Christ church Y but it doesn't have a pool, so yesterday I took the kids to see the Maryland Farms Y pool.


This is really the first time Kyle has been to a pool like this with a splash pad. She had a blast.



Hunter did too.


Snack time for Kyle- during break time for the pool.


Success! Will definitely be coming back! Both fell asleep on the 4 mile drive home 😉

Summer time fun

We've been getting settled in to our little routine. We had a good time celebrating Kyle's birthday, then Billy had a really busy call week. So Kyle, Hunter, Codi, Tess and I have been hanging out playing.


Kyle got the cutest doctor kit from the Richter's.



I've started rice cereal and a couple veggies for Hunter. He's a disaster in the bumbo so I usually have to hold him.


Kyle got this precious jewelry box from her cousin Ellen.



Hunter showing off his muscles


Tuesdays from 3:30-6:30 there is a farmers market at Sevier Park. Kyle got a grilled cheese from the cheese truck.



We walked over to the Popsicle store on 12th Street. They are all natural and so yummy.


H really wants to start crawling you can tell!


Kyle and her pink boots she got from aunt KK- I've gotten so many compliments!



I braved a trip by myself to the adventure science center. It's a three story crazy place full of science activities. We had fun but it was exhausting with both.
