Weekend Overview (besides the boo boos!)

Thursday was Waylon and my 4th wedding anniversary. I made crabcakes, twice baked potatoes, and salad and we ate outside by candlelight after Noah went to bed. It was very nice and very much like a date night! Afterwards, we watched our wedding video. It was fun to remember what we said and see how much fun we had!! :-)



On Friday morning, we took Noah to the NC Zoo. We had so much fun! It was one of our first outings as 'just us'. Usually we are with grandparents or another family or something. It was nice!

Ready for a day of fun!

Checking out the turtles with Daddy

Noah chose to ride the lion and was so excited before it started, he was 'shimmying' back and forth. So cute.

Noah picked out a snake to take home as a souvenir

We didn't leave the zoo until almost 2:00 and Noah didn't sleep great on the way home but was no worse for the wear. When we got home, Noah and I rode the tractor together for a while to help Waylon mow the lawn. Then we all know what happened when Steven arrived on Friday night!

Saturday morning, we went to breakfast and ran a few errands. Then, while Noah napped, Waylon and Steven went for a tour of the Carolina Brewery in Holly Springs. In the afternoon, we got Maddie's swimming pool and set it up in our backyard in preparation for a cookout we had on Sunday. Noah of course had to test it out, so we had Maddie come help test too! They LOVED it!



On Sunday afternoon, we had a cookout for Memorial Weekend. Waylon made BBQ and everyone brought a side or dessert. We had lots of kids running around swimming, running in the sprinkler, and just playing! It was so fun. I think I've learned that I need to take more pictures of adults, though!! :-)

Nana and Grandad brought Noah a new bubble mower and he LOVED it!

Yesterday, we just relaxed and took a break from the busy weekend. We even watched Tinkerbell in the afternoon! Noah really enjoyed it and actually watched the whole thing. I justified that much TV time by how much we had done outside all weekend! :-)

Today, back to work and then tomorrow is a big day!! We get to find out if this next baby is a boy or a girl! I can't wait!!!

Then, Thursday we leave for Ocean Isle Beach with Nana, Grandad, Andrea, Sean and Savannah. We are so excited for the first beach trip of the season!
