Summer Is Here!

Summer is definately hitting Memphis.  It’s 90′ + but the evenings feel awesome.  We are loving the park near by, feeding the fish and geese at the lake, and playing in our new pool!  (baby pool, that is)
Hayden has been staying busy in the garage- working on the kayak and starting work on Seth’s crib.  Seth is Haley’s cousin and we can’t wait for his arrival at the end of this month!   Hayden is so excited about the beautiful wood he found.  I know it’s going to be gorgeous!  The kayak is really taking shape and we will have a big party for his ‘maiden voyage’ when it’s done in a couple weeks.

Last weekend Hayden and I had a date and enjoyed a day out on the lake with Kim and Kevin.  Now we’re thinking how awesome it would be to have a boat.  But, for now, we’ll just accept invites from our friends for cruises around Garner Lake. 

Haley and I had an awesome time when we went to visit the Holmes’ in Huntsville.  It was a real treat because not only did we get to meet little Emily, but we also got to to meet Abigail Holly.  Anna, Travis, and Alison were all in town and it was so great to visit with everyone.  I only wish we would have had more time together.  Alison got all the girls matching dresses and we took about 200 pictures of them dressed up. Haley and I stayed with Laura for two days and had a ball playing with Caitlyn.  We’ve got adorable pictures and I loved watching Haley soak up everything Caitlyn did…jumping, talking, singing, playing.  Caitlyn is so smart!  My friend Jen and her daughter Emma shared a ride to Huntsville, which made the ride so much more fun!  When we got home, Hayden had the whole house clean AND all of the laundry done!  It doesn’t get better than that.

Haley is walking really great now and doesn’t sit still.  It’s SO much fun to watch her explore everything around her.  It’s also REALLY exciting to listen to her learn to talk.  She’s adding a new word or two every day.  This weekend the big word was “bubbles” and we got her to say “Maroon”!  Although, she doesn’t quite know the concept of Maroon…but it won’t be long!  We’ve already got her cheerleader outfit ready for this season.
