May and June have been busy months for us! Taylor finished up her first year of school at the end of May. Just before school let out, Taylor's class got to go on a field trip to the Tyler zoo. Around that time, Jack and Nana came to stay with us for several days, so they got to go to the zoo with us!
Since school has let out, we've been to Houston for a baby shower, Temple for a birthday party and Fairfield to hang out at a lake house. Then Taylor got to attend her Nature Camp for the second year in a row.....which is something that she really, really enjoys. Her camp leader told me that Taylor knew every single bird that they found/talked about, and even corrected her on one of the birds.
The next week Taylor and Grady got to attend Vacation Bible School together. They were in separate groups because of their ages, but the teachers said that every time they would see each other, they would run to each other, give hugs and then tell each other that they loved them. SOOOO Silly!!! Needless to say, everyone there thought that my kids were the sweetest ones there. If they only knew the real Taylor and Grady....he he.
Jack came to visit us for several days and got to go to the zoo with Taylor's class!
Three cousins having fun at the zoo!
So cute! They were always checking out their zoo maps.....and they always knew right where we were! Such smart kids!
Definitely his daddy's boy.....being a bare-footer!! His shoes were hurting his feet so he walked around mostly bare foot!
They were such troopers! We had to do a lot of walking really quickly (we had to keep up with the group from Taylor's class). Next time we go, we're going to slow down!!
Soccer time!
These two play so great together!!
Grady and one of his cool tricks!
Taylor on her way up to the stage for her end-of-the-year program. She's walking with a bubble in her mouth and a duck tail!
Taylor was trying to find us in the audience.....and she did just before they started singing!
Taylor and her best buddy, Leighann! Such sweet little girls!
Last day of school!!
Last day of school was Field Day! The kids got to do all kinds of things....water games, face painting, watch movies, etc.
Ready...aim...fire!
Such a little lady! She was so cute at my cousin Alisha's baby shower!
Here she is playing one of the shower games! She was so excited that she came in 2nd place in the "make a play-doh baby!"
Taylor LOVES her baby cousin!! She could spend her whole day playing with him!
Grady loves Hudson, too....however, he would rather just play with all of Hudson's things!!
One thing they both enjoyed....taking Hudson for a walk!
Taylor is so brave!! She'll do anything with her daddy!!
Silly girl! Playing at the lake house is hard work! Everyone has to do their share!
Daddy and his girls!
Grady stayed behind so he could pick on his Poppa!
The paddle boat crew!
Taylor loves swimming in lakes! Even more than swimming in a swimming pool. Here she is getting into the water from the boat all by herself.
She wanted to spend as much time as possible in the water.
Taylor and Grady found a tree frog on Poppa's boat. He was a cute stow-away!
Behind the wheel and in charge! (Although she's always in charge!!)
Grady wasn't a huge fan of the lake water, but he sure does like playing on the boat.
They're not very easy to see, but this little redhead is starting to get some freckles!
Grady's favorite place on the boat was right next to Taylor!
Taylor and Mimi swimming out in the middle of the lake.
Grady's turn at driving the boat.
Grady's first wake boarding experience!
Painting on a mural at the Blueberry Festival.
Blueberry bubbles.....not really, just bubbles at the Blueberry Festival.
Queen of the bubbles!
First day at Nature Camp....squirrel day! She made a corn cob feeder.
Frog Day!
Bird Day....she made the coolest bird feeder out of a gourd and some new binoculars.
Last day at camp!
My little Vacation Bible Schoolers!!
