Fun on the Greens

Chad has been wanting to take Harry golfing and a par 3 (I have no clue what that means) is a good course to take him to. Harry LOVED it! He was a big help, he chased the balls, racked the sand pits and pulled the flag out for his daddy! It is neat to see what a joy it is for Chad to share his passions with Harry

Mimi and Poppy take Harry to Gymboree Class

Gymboree has been one of our favorite activities this summer! Harry is in his element with all the obstical courses and new tasks to achieve each visit! Saturday morning was very special because Harry got to show off his Mimi and Papa(or Poppy as Harry would say). The class was much more crowded than before. We go a couple of times a week; this was the first visit on Saturday(I was so happy to prove to Chad that dads really do go)!
Harry is in the tube thing(his feet are sticking out)

Mimi was a trooper. Balancing on the air log is Harry's very favorite activity.
Climbing up it is a close second.
There is nothing like Gymboree bubbles.
We love Gymboree Play and Music!

When the Baby is Away the Parents will Play

That is what happened this last weekend! Coco came to our area to take a class for school and stayed with us all week! We were loving it, just a piece of how nice it would be if they lived closer! Harry accompanied her home on Thursday! This is the longest we have been away from him. We took full advantage! Chad did what he loves golf and relaxing at the house and I did what I love girl time over good food! Thursday night I met with some of my very close friends at Fish City Grill and then we sat in front of the Promenade’s Starbucks until midnight! Three of the ladies are over forty; I look to them as great Christian mentors. They are some of the ones I call when I have worries or need help with Harry. It was a treat to chat it up with them!
Friday I was able to go to lunch with Holly and Kim B and plan a new mission we are on (more on that later). I spent the rest of the day shopping and getting ready for Chad’s big birthday present.
I stole this idea from Brandy Reynolds. I emailed a few of Chad’s best buddies and planned for them to come over for a poker night. They were all ready and willing (those that were not on vacation)! Chad loved it! I definitely scored bonus points for this one! While they were at the house I was able to catch Sex and the City with Shannon and Erin! Can I say bliss! Afterwards we caught up over apps at Bonefish! A great night for all!
Saturday morning we got up early to meet with Brian and Katie! We rented a cabin and floated the Buffalo! It was a great day in the son! Arkansas is such a beautiful state. It was a very good time. Ask you can tell I did not stay very loyal to my camera! Chad and I love hanging out with Brian and Katie; they are so refreshing to be around!
I have to say the best part of the weekend was seeing Harry! He on the other hand was quite content staying with Paa(paul) and Bobo and Coco. We were also able to spend Father’s Day at my grandparent’s house and soak up more family time. Harry was great. Paa and Coco taught him a whole new set of words and he actually says them. He was so happy with them; part of me wanting him to stay clung to us when he saw us but, what can I say he likes the grands! We are hopeful the sugar detox he is now one will last until his next big adventure with them!

A Harry Friday

Friday was Harry's last day in the Wiggle Worm Room. They had a pajama and water party! Harry was all about partying! This is what I saw when I walked in!


Those are Harry's best buddies at school. Elizabeth's(far left) mom is the nurse at my school. Grace's(second from the left) mom is a good friend of mine who is a teacher; and Peyton's(far right) mom is a teacher too who is such an awesome girl! Elizabeth and Peyton say Harry all time; they are all just a few weeks apart. Grace is the youngest and Harry is crazy about her!

Who would have thought the slip and slide would be the big hit!


Friday night we ate dinner at the Ware's house. Papa cooked out while the babies played in Mimi's blow up bouncy toy. Harry went nuts in it and Brooklyn warmed up quick! Brooklyn enjoyed it more when she was not being tackled by Harry. The moms went to see Leave it in Vegas; and I have to say it was hilarious! I guess it is my kind of humor! Anything with Cameron Diaz I know I am going to enjoy.





Harry, trashcan, me, and Brook!
