A busy and VERY fun (and wet) weekend!!

Noah and my weekend started on Thursday as usual and this past weekend, we started swim lessons! So Thursday morning, Noah and I went to the pool at 10:30 for his first one. There are only 4 kids in the class and he loved it! We had a great time. Thursday afternoon was groceries and errands.

Thursday night was exciting! Right before bed, I was feeling our little girl kicking and I had Waylon try to feel her. After several small kicks, I felt a big one and saw Waylon's eyes get big. He felt her!! So fun.

Friday, we were surprised by having Daddy home!! Waylon is 'supposed' to have every other Friday off but since his new position has started, it doesn't always happen and we didn't think it was going to happen this past Friday until the last minute. So we had a fabulous family day instead! We started the day out in the back yard in the pool playing. After a few hours, we ran some errands together and had a nice lunch out. After Noah's nap, we went to our gym pool and had so much fun playing. Noah loves it there. We stayed until close to 6 and then had a nice dinner out. It was just a really pleasant day - Noah was in a good mood and great at dinner. Here is a shot of Noah in the shower after swimming on Friday.


On Saturday morning, Waylon had some yard work he wanted to take care of, so Noah and I went to visit the (older) triplets - Maddie, Rory and Brendan. More outdoor fun! We played in the pool and sandbox and inside with all the fun toys they have. I didn't get many pictures there but here are a few...

Around 3:30 on Saturday, I talked to Amy and Janet about getting the kids together. We all decided to play in the pools at our house and grill dinner. It was such a last minute thing and was really fun! Amy, Grant, Janet and Frank brought almost all of the food over and Frank grilled for us all!! The kids sat together and ate dinner pretty quietly so it was fun to have an 'almost-adult' dinner. :-)

And this is how the night ended....
But not before a big hug from Maddie - how cute is this!?

Sunday was FATHER'S DAY! When we woke up, we had orange rolls (Waylon's favorite), cinnamon rolls, and bacon for breakfast (my plan was to bring them to Waylon in bed but he didn't want to sleep in!). :-) After breakfast, it was back to the pool yet again. We spent a long time there and Noah and Daddy had lots of quality time together.




After nap on Saturday, Nana and Grandad came over to celebrate Father's Day. We played outside for a long time and then had a yummy dinner.

Giving Grandad his card, present and a big kiss!

Nana and Grandad brought Noah a little plastic golf set and after dinner, they played with it HARD for at least 20 minutes. It was so funny. Noah would get really quiet and get this funny look on his face and then throw the balls up in the air and then Dick would go running after the balls pretending to get them before Noah. Noah would scream 'I GOT IT! I GOT IT! I GOT IT!' Then he'd get so tickled, he'd just stamp his feet and giggle, it was so cute. I have some videos I'm hoping to post cause it was just so funny.


All in all, a great weekend with lots of time in the pool and the sun!

For this week, we are looking forward to Grammy coming back tomorrow night to spend some time with us and help prepare for a small gathering we are having on Saturday for Noah's second birthday (and Waylon's birthday, too). We can't believe he's going to be 2 years old next Thursday! 2 years ago today was my due date and I was totally miserable! He was worth the wait and all the birth trouble though!! :-) And now we have another one on the way. So crazy.
