The Weekend in Pictures

by

Saturday was the big day for our pictures and Christina was so wonderful to work with! She’s posted some of our shots here. We plan to get together later this week to see them all and introduce our kiddos to each other. (Yes kids, play amongst yourselves while we look at the pics!) I am so excited! Here we are together.

Thanks again Christina and I can’t wait to see the rest!

We had a pretty good long weekend. It was nice to have Tim home for several days (he took Friday off too) and we got a few things done around the house. Unfortunately his foot is still bothering him quite a bit but he saw an Orthopedist on Friday and the doctor said that is to be expected. He’s still having to soak it and wrap it up in an Ace bandage. He did a little too much yesterday so last night he was in quite a bit of pain. Let’s just all pray that it gets better soon and heals well.

We had some friends and family over yesterday. Tim loves to use his smoker and he bbq’ed a couple of chickens and some ribs. They were GOOD! Tim’s brother Brian and his girlfriend, Darlene, brought her cute little dog Emily and another puppy that she got for a friend. The puppy was so cute!! I wanted to keep her! But, she wasn’t mine, so… The kids had a blast playing in our two little kiddie pools and a fun sprinkler I bought the other day.

I think Ben was asleep before I even closed his door last night and he went to bed early too! I love the days when the kids just sack out from true and well-earned tiredness!

Here are some moments that we captured during the day.

Little G and the puppy, Belle, seemed to like each other.

The B Man “swam” off and on for about 5 hours.

He did take a break to spray those of us up on the deck with the sprinkler. Look how big my first baby is getting!! AHHH!

Little G wasn’t too sure about the sprinkler but he had a great time going down the little slide into the baby pool.

And he enjoyed his first watermelon quite a bit, I might add.

After Ben and his friend C finally got out of the water they enjoyed some quiet time together. Tim took this picture and I just love it!

Hope everyone had a great long weekend and time to rest and relax with family and/or friends. I’ve said extra prayers for those serving our country as well as their families.

  8. just came over to say congrats on your award from kristen 🙂

    also looks like a wonderful, fun filled long weekend!!

  10. Can’t wait for Friday!

    Okay, the similarities are piling up: first, both our men always want the fan on, and now, they both love to bbq. Okay, so most men like that, but still. 🙂 Anyway, sounds like a great weekend and you’ve got great pictures of it!That puppy dog is too cute, but not as cute as your boys.

  14. It looks like you had a wonderful weekend – I’m glad!! What darling pictures of your boys – so cute!!

    Nice to see you – take care – Kellan

  15. Sounds like an amazing weekend!!! 🙂

    AND look at you and Christina!! EEK! I am jealous. I want to hang out with you guys!

  16. Hi Elaine

    I can’t get over how small the blogging world can be. To think that you and Christina live so close to each other. Christina is very talented and captured beautiful shots of your family. I can’t wait to see which photos you end up with.

    Your poor husband, still in pain with his foot. Hopefully, a little more rest will do the trick and he will be back on it before he knows it.

    Sprinklers, many a weeked was passed with my sister and I running through the sprinkler when we were younger. Because of the water restrictions where we live in Australia, our children won’t get to experience this delight.
    Your boys must have had such a blast with the water activities outside.

    Sounds like a lovely weekend was had by your family.

    Love
    Elise.

  17. Those pictures Christine took are fantastic! I ALL of them.

    Also I am jealous that she got to meet you in person.

    Great summer pictures of the boys too. Water is the best toy EVER.

  20. Looks like a fun weekend. Layla had her first watermelon this weekend too, but I didn’t get a picture. Love the sprinklers pics, what fun!
