Day with Pals

Wednesday ended up being a great day! It started off a bit rough and it ended fantastic!  We had Maddox over for the afternoon and Harry loved every second of it! Heck, I loved every second of it! This kids has the best manners EVER! He was so grateful and polite! He played well with others and he was fun!  Here are my Robin Hood Pirate/Star War heroes! Our house is clear of all bad guys and monsters! 

 We took a trip to the BV park and road bikes! The precious Adairs went with us and Harry's bike broke! Would you believe Meredith carried it on her stroller the whole two miles! Harry had to walk:(  I don't know why I don't have more pics of the Adair kids....they were too fast for me.  They are the sweetest family and I can't wait til next time!  Meredith and I taught together my first year teaching  and ended up moving near each other two years later in a whole new town! CRAZY! She also has two kids close to Harry's age and they play perfectly together!

 Sand time! The GOAL!

 Precious Baby Matthew! 

 Jake and Emma joined us! Loved it!  Is he not so cute??

 After this trip we went home and cleaned up. We then hit up Alcambaro with the Matherlys and then Bible Class!  Maddox is the best guest!  He fits right in!

 These boys love some geese!

We had a great time and I am so grateful for Harry's buddies and their mommies!

Rockin' and a Bowlin'

If you didn't know, Fast Lane has 99 cent bowling on Wednesdays from 11-5!  We are taking full advantage!Harry loves to bowl and lucky for us we have friends who like to go too!We cheer for our friends! It really is a sight to see!

We have been the last three Wednesdays.  I didn't get pictures today, because I seriously look like I am smuggling bowling balls, as K and E's daddy would say!
On another note, I got a new camera and it is not fool proof! It doesn't just take good pictures like my other camera did.  Oh well!

Harry Plays

If you know Harry, then you know Harry LOVES people. He is much happier when there are people around than when there are not. We find ourselves with friends every day at some point and I very rarely think to take pictures. I decided to get the ones I have taken, although some are not so good, and throw them in a mauge pauge post. What is sad is I don't have any pictures with Harry and his cousins or play dates at the pool! We spend a lot of time with Harry's cousins and at the pool with friends! Maybe I can work on that! First up Mr. Payton, or Pay Pay if you are a Ware! This is Harry's best friend from his class!

Lindsey is also one of his best friends! His mom and I really the ones who have the most fun on our play dates! Harry is exhausted here! Can you tell? On a side note, we think our child may be the only three year old who has to have his paci and Shaggy about 50 times a day!

This is the only decent picture I got a Jump Zone. This is the best place in the world to wear your toddler out! We will be frequents at Jump Zone once GK gets here! Jake is the kid behind Harry. Jake is another one of Harry's best buds! I know Harry's best friend list sounds like mine!

I decided to make this post after our visit with the Millers! Harry had more fun at their house this morning then we did at Disney Land in July and I am not exaggerating! He is still talking about the ducks and the four wheeler! I enjoyed our visit too!

Own taught Harry the ropes on how to feed the ducks and drive the four wheeler. I think Harry would really like one of these. He begged to go back to Mrs. Linda and Owen's house!

The Perfect Party

Mommy Quit Her Day Job! This is how we celebrated! We invited all of our closest friends and had a good ole' pool party!Harry was in the pool from 10-2 and did not slow down! He was in the party zone! I was too and loving having all of our favorite people in place! I am disappointed that we didn't get a picture of everyone there! Mine and Chad's mom were both there and there is no proof! Mr. Kaleb was on the move! It meant so much to me that Kaleb and Katie came all the way from LR! This baby is so good! I really wish they could have stayed a lot longer!

Callie Rose is in the hot pink swim suit! This is my friend's daughter who finally came to visit! We are hoping we will get more play dates with this little guy!

Harry and his three cousins! Does it get any better than this?

Will lives across the street and Harry thinks he is "THE MAN"! If their garage is open Harry starts yelling "WIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLL!!"

We were very lucky to have some older kids at the party to entertain and help parent's relax some! Five of my former students came and then Shelby and Cameron A. came with their mom. They were like rock stars to the little kids!

Leah(Will's mom" and Baby Asher! I was trying to stir the lemonade in one of my new drink dispensers that Ms. Linda(pic below) gave me! I am so excited about them(silly huh?)! Chad got to come for a couple of hours. He admitted he wished he would have taken off work the whole day! Linda and Trudy are his best friend's moms from hs! I love that we still keep in touch with them! I always enjoy visiting with them. I told Chad that I wish I could hang out with them all the time! They are so fun!

Who would have thought that Monday would be a good day for a party! Almost everyone on the invite list showed up! We were loving it! We were in super good company! I feel so blessed to have friend show have kids that Harry can hang with!

Part of the spread that Kim helped me put together! It was fun feeding everyone!

The highlight of the party were his out of town friends coming! Kim, Adalie and James came with Katie and Kaleb! I can not say enough of how excited we were that they came. I am ashamed to say this is the first time we have seen James in person! I am hopeful my schedule has cleared up enough that I can get more time with them!

Overall today was a SUCCESS! It was the perfect day to start off my "new career"!

A Day with Animals!

Now this is a fun crew! How can you not have fun with these little guys? We had a blast at the Gentry Safari Zoo. I think this is better than going to the zoo because, you get to touch so many animals....almost all of them! Harry was in heaven with some of his favorite friends and Brooklyn came too and that is always a bonus! The best part is feeding the animals and Harry was all about it! I didn't get many pictures of the exotic animals (since we were in the car I had a few kids in my lap)!

The little animal in here; a goat I think; obviously did not want to play....Harry would have crawled in if I would have let him!

Brooklyn was cold and can I say that Harry was so proud that she wore his jacket. Harry was proud to have her come with us period.

Harry rode a water buffalo(I think this buffalo was depressed...notice his head is down).

Brooklyn loved the animals(except the emus) but, she wanted them all a good yard away from her. The only exception was this little snake...her mother is cringing at the thought! This snake was probably the only animal that someone was holding that didn't move...maybe that is why she liked it...well that would rule out the turtle too..hmm...

This little piggy got a little too close!

I can't wait to go again; maybe next time we will pick a day without so much wind!
