This photo makes me laugh so hard. We were at our friend Easton's third birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Needless to say, we enjoyed visiting with our friends, eating pizza and birthday cake between video games and the boys enjoyed the sights from the Baby Bjorn's. Here is Turner trying so hard to get the ball from daddy while they played basketball. Twice, he did manage to get it as Ben went to throw it and it landed on the floor. Taylor enjoyed helping mommy play Skeet Ball...no photos of myself, obviously!
Taylor and mommy...Taylor obsessed over this plate all afternoon!
Taylor enjoyed his ride with Barney, until he dropped his plate, then he almost fell off the ride. Thank goodness for seatbelts!!!
Turner and Taylor posing for a quick photo while daddy unloaded the car from the party.
Now, another photo with Mommy. As you can see, Taylor is not happy because Turner stole his pacifier.
It was too pretty of a day to be inside , so outside we were. Daddy made us this picnic with all of the boy's favorite toys. The boy's loved having Guinnie so close and loved listening to the birds chirp and seeing the trees sway in the wind.
But, the highlight was when daddy started blowing off the driveway.
And when our neighbor Sterling came to play with us.
As you can see, Turner was not too interested in a visit from our neighbor, Ashley. The sound of the rake against the pavement by daddy was much more interesting to Turner!
Another highlight of our Saturday was visiting with our Aunt Heather from Atlanta. Thank you, Aunt Heather, for our new toys and Bulldog stuff....GO DAWGS!!! And the cupcake...whoops, what cupcake as Ben might say? :) Mommy and daddy enjoyed catching up with Heather and enjoying a night out on the town while Boo and Gan babysat. 7 hours.....they are saints!!!PS- We normally do not dress Taylor like a total red neck. A Blowout caused his shirt to be ruined and mommy was tired of changing outfits.
Turner showing off his two, perfectly straight bottom teeth...two top molars are coming in!!!
SNACKTIME! AKA, mom needs a 5 minute break. The boys are finally in love with Puffs...Strawberry, banana, peach-mango, blueberry. They will eat them all!!!
Taylor trying to show off his teeth. He too has the top two molars coming in. Funny thing, his upper left one has already broken skin and it is Turner's upper right one that has broken skin. These boy's are so different...even with their teeth!!!!
Turner Slade--Mr. Busy has started doing the side to side furniture walk between his toys. Watch out, everybody! He'll be running by you in no time!!!** In conclusion, I feel I should give a scenario of how bad last week was for this mommy. No complaints, just so you all will understand why Saturday was so, so good!!!
Monday-Mommy was called at 4:30pm to be told that Taylor was running a fever. Thus could not go to school on Tuesday (24 hr. fever free policy)
Tuesday-Turner went to school because he was fine and Taylor staying with mommy; we played, he napped and went to the peditrician's office. Two hours later, we left and were picking up meds for a bilateral ear infection. Dr. approved him to return on Thurs.
Wed- Mommy woke up at 2 am and was nauseated and vomiting. Daddy got both boy's ready, dropped Turner off at school and stayed home with Taylor because mommy was too sick. Poor daddy.
Thursday- Mommy had a migraine and terrible sore throat. Daddy got boy's ready and dropped them off at school. Mommy laid in bed and went to her doctor, who diagnosed her with strep throat. Who knew that nausea and vomiting could be because of strep? Poor daddy held the fort down for another night.
Friday- Mommy was still not able to swallow without pain. She dropped the boy's off because daddy had an early am meeting. As you arrives home at 8:10, she gets a call that Turner is sick, hysterical crying and uncontrollable. Mommy's thoughts: " You have to be freakin kidding me!!!" Mommy drives back downtown to get Turner and arrives to find her "uncontrollable cryer" sleeping peacefully. Fearful to wake him, mommy goes to Gan and Boo's and lays on their couch for over 2 1/2 hours. (It's real close to the school.) Mommy then goes to pick them up at 11. Thankfully, Boo can come help her take care of them. Once we got home Turner was happy, laughing and into everything. Bottom line, I think he pulled a fast one on all of us because there was nothing sick about him.
**ADDENDUM- A special thanks to Boo and Gan for babysitting so Mommy and daddy could go to Christine and Aaron's wedding festivities!! They did an awesome job (as if i was worried), even though for the second time while sitting, they thought they had lost one of the hounds. Last time, it was Georgia, this time it was our beloved Guinnie. Funny thing, Guinnie was fine--fast asleep on his upstairs dog bed, hidden behind our ironing station. Poor Gan was about to drive around the neighborhood looking for him when Boo found Guinnie.
