Fun at the Lake

Saturday we packed up the car and headed to Lake Logan Martin to spend the day at the Murphee family reunion. The Murphee's are Jason's grandmother's family on his dad's side. Both Jason's Mom and Uncle have a lake place so we first headed over to his Mom's place, loaded up the boat and then started out for his uncle's place where the reunion was being held. It was our 1st boat ride of the season and it was wonderful. The weather and water were great! We spent the day playing in the water and taking boat rides. Our day ended with a sunset boat ride back to Jason's mom's place. Then this Mommy got to drive 2 tired kids and one tired husband home. We pulled into our driveway around 11 and Nicholas announced that he was the only one that stayed awake. I told him for an awake person he sure did look like he was asleep back there!

Long day in the water = passed out Nolan on the sunset cruise back home. Reenie's lap = one comfy bed!

Happy Birthday Jason!

Monday we celebrated Jason's Birthday. The birthday boy decided that he wanted to play putt putt. So we braved the heat and headed out. Loved watching Nolan try to handle the club. It was a little big for him. I also loved how he would move the ball to where he wanted it and then would hit it.

The birthday boy!

Nicholas smiling on hole #8 after he made a hole in one! He ended up making 3 that day. Same number as Jason. After the 3rd one, he turned to me and said "Mommy, don't be mad. That's just how I roll!" I died laughing!

Braves and Birthdays

May brings 3 birthdays in our family. My dad's is the 11th, Niece Maggie is the 14th, and Jason's is the 30th. This year was the big 6-0 for my dad and he decided that he wanted to go to a Braves game. So everyone came up to Atlanta for Memorial day weekend and we headed to the Braves game on Sunday night. A great time was had by all. My aunt Teresa and her grandson Damon came up for the game also. The boys loved having their cousins, Henry, Maggie and Audrey stay at their house. Nicholas thinks that Henry is the coolest thing since sliced bread.

3 birthdays means 3 cakes...one for each!

Nolan, Maggie and Damon running the bases. This was at 11:23pm, after the game, so amazed Nolan was still up for it.

Last Day of school

Hello First Grade, Goodbye Kindergarten! Last Friday we celebrated the last day of kindergarten. I can't believe how fast the year as gone by and how much Nicholas as learned. He is adding and subtracting and reading! I can't wait to see what next year brings!

Nicholas's school had an end of the year luau for all the kindergarten classes. There were tons of games and I got to paint faces. It was so much fun.
