Memorial Day/4 Months Old

Dryver's 1st swimming experience

Me, Dryver, Brandi and Chase swimming

We have had a crazy Memorial Day Weekend!!! Friday we left school early and took Dryver to the dr. Everything looked great! Then we ran some errands. We saw some friends from church at Babies R Us so we decided to go out to dinner. So, we didn't get home till bedtime. Saturday we woke up and tried to put up a "pool" in our backyard. It is a 3 feet deep 15 feet across pool. I LOVE it! Justin has had some minor battles with it. He put it up Saturday morning and then let out all the water. Saturday afternoon we went to a party and didn't get home til late. Dryver stayed with my parents. Thanks! Sunday we got up and went to Canton to meet some friends from high school. After that we headed to a birthday party. When we got home Dryver and I got into the pool while Justin was filling it up again. He moved locations hoping it was more level ground. It is more level but not enough. We got it to about 2 1/2 feet of water and then the flooding began again. So next weekend we will let out the water, level it again and fill it for the 3rd time. Anyway, Monday we went to a party at the lake and then came back home and had some friends over to "swim" and eat dinner. We also played Wii Fit and Mario Kart. Both great! So if you know me I am PUMPED about the pool. You've got to come see it:)
Dryver is now 4 months:

It's Been Awhile

I have wanted to blog for some time now but things have been crazy busy. I had a wonderful first Mother's Day. We took our first family photo that day. Justin had breakfast and a magazine waiting for me when I got out of the shower. He said it was suppose to be breakfast in bed but I got up before him. Imagine! Then he gave me a sweet card from the 2 of them. He also gave me Mario Kart for the Wii. It is so fun!!! Dryver gave me the movie 27 Dresses. This is the movie we were watching when I went into labor with him. I also got a shepards hook and hanging basket. In the spring we love to both get out there and work in the flowerbeds. I LOVE to make the outside look beautiful. For lunch we went to my parents and the guys made lunch. It was great! We didn't have to lift a finger. They even cleaned up and took care of the kids. The 3 of us girls played cards. So fun!
This past Sunday was our anniversary. My parents kept Dryer and Justin and I went to eat, to a movie and ran some errands. It was fun to be just the 2 of us.
Lindale had the annual Rodeo this weekend too. We took Dryver Friday and Saturday. We like to think he had fun. We sure did!
Only 7 days left of school. I am so excited. I am a little overwelmed at packing up my entire room. As an elementary teacher I have accumulated a LOT of stuff!!
This summer I am teaching 3 weeks of swimming and then I will officially be a stay-at-home mom!!! Can't wait!

3 Months Old April 27

I was three months old last Sunday. For some reason my mom can't find time to blog now that she is back to work. Probably because when she walks in the door she picks me up and doesn't put me down till bedtime:) So, I will just tell you what's going on in my exciting life.
Right now mom is back at work for a little while. Only 19 days left! YEAH!!! I am staying with Gabby, Honey B, or Daddy during the days. I am actually having a pretty good time. I go to see mom at school everyday. She loves to show me off, and I love to give those ladies a smile:)
I have started eating every 4 hours now instead of 3 and mom is thrilled! Also, she tells me I am a great sleeper. I eat and then dad gives me a bath and we play as a family. It is so fun!!! Then they put me to bed by 10 every night. I usually sleep until 5:30 but the last few nights I have been sleeping until 8. WOW! They say I am doing great.
I love to laugh. This is a picture of me laughing during family play time.
I HATE being put on my stomach. They call it tummy time I call it torture. They say they are doing what's best for me, to make me stronger. They will probably be those kinds of parents that say they give me spankings because they love me. PLEASE!
Well, that's all for now. Headed to the bath.
