A Great Weekend!

We were able to have a great weekend with Kyle's family!! They arrived Friday afternoon and we were able to let the kids play outside for awhile and then we ate pizza and relaxed. Our pool is a little small, but it worked!

Kayla, Kinsey, Cody, and Drew

While the kids played in the pool, Blake played on the blanket with Mommy and Grandma. Daddy and Grandpa were playing catch.

Drew loves to play Starbucks, so these were our two "baristas" for the weekend. For some reason they only made frappucinos!

On Saturday night we went to a TinCaps game. The TinCaps are a single a baseball team here in town. Their field is brand new and it's VERY nice!

This was Drew's first baseball game....something Kyle has looked forward to for awhile! He even got Drew a baseball!

I love this picture!

My family!!

All the kids and grandkids...Kyle, Drew, Me, Blake, Kinsey, Cortney, Kayla, and Cody

The whole Turner family...

Just some fun ones!

I busted out the camera the other day while we are all playing and got a few good shots...so here you go!!

Daddy and his boys!

Kisses...

Drew's turn!!

More kisses!

Drew got a new carseat for his birthday, so we gave Drew's old one to Blake...no more infant carrier!! I am a little sad about this one! So, the infant seat is inside for now and this is what we found the other day.

My big boy in the little seat.

It's amazing how big they get in three years. (And I do know this is a horrible picture of baby Drew, but it was the only one I could find quick of him in the carseat.)

And lastly here is us....these pictures used to happen a lot more, but here we are after 5 years of marital bliss! Still in love....aawwww!

A Birthday and a Wedding

As usual the summer has been crazy! In the first two weeks of July Drew turned 3 and my youngest brother got hitched. In between those events Kyle co-deaned camp for 8th-9th graders. AAHHH!!! I didn't get very many pictures from Drew's birthday because I was trying to enjoy it. I am hoping the grandparents got some good shots! Drew had an Imagination Movers birthday party.

This is the first year that I made his cake. It didn't quite turn out like the picture I saw, but it was done out of love (and it was fun)!

So happy!!

The wedding party

Joey and I at the reception!

This is her parents house and the tents from the wedding and all the campers and tents...it was quite the site to see!

Family Reunion

A few weekends ago we had a family reunion for my Mom's side of the family. Since our families are growing it gets harder and harder for us all to get together at Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, it was super awesome so see everyone. I didn't get too many pictures because I was busy visiting, but here are a few from the weekend!

This is Drew and Brody eating together. They are second cousins. Lisa is my cousin and Brody's mom. It's so much fun because Lisa is 6 months older than I am and Drew is 6 months older than Brody. Fun that we got to grow up together and now our boys are close in age too.

This is Drew playing with his Great Uncle Jeff. He is my mom's sister's husband. So good to see them!

Uncle Matt holding Blake getting some practice in before his daughter arrives....AAAHHH....he's going to have a daughter!!

Uncle Joey pushing Drew around on a teeny tiny motorcyle.

We got to go to the Chalmers Days pancake breakfast. Uncle Joey made Drew a special Mickey Mouse pancake! Afterwards we were able to look a the fancy cars and firetrucks.

Last but not least....a happy baby taking a tubby!!!

Rub a Dub Dub Two Men in a Tub

Now that Blake is sitting up we decided to try out his ring for the bathtub! It suits him much better than the infant tub and now I don't get soaked when he gets a bath! Although the side of our tub is kinda high so it makes it hard for me to bend over it to bathe him, so usually Kyle gives the boys baths. On this day, however, I had to do it...so here are some cute pictures of the kiddos!!!

Such a big boy!!!

I think he likes it!!

Playing away!!

Yes...I do realize that Drew is wearing his swimming trunks. Sometimes you do what you gotta do!!

Here is a picture of what happened when I asked Drew to get a diaper. He apparently got sidetracked. And yes, he is under his bed!

Memorial Day

I know that Memorial Day was awhile ago, but here are a few pictures from the day! We were able to be at Kyle's parents house and have a big cookout with our families.

Playing ball in the front yard.

Blake and Mamaw playing.

Bret, Grandpa Turner, and Cody playing washoos with...

My dad and Kyle.

Drew riding his 4 wheeler!

I'm trying...

Okay, so again I am slacking in my posts...my only excuse is that it's hard to type long things when there is a kid in your lap (right now it's Drew, but not for too long because Blake is getting fussy). Anyhoo....our May was a bit crazy, but the summer doesn't get any slower, so here goes nothing...

Finger painting...

Drew had a lot of fun finger painting for his grandma and mamaw this year for Mother's Day! He made them each a nice picture and then gave them each a set of his handprints....he had a blast!

Baby Dedication

Mother's Day was also a special day for us because we were able to dedicate Blake to the Lord. We made a promise to raise him up to know and love God. It was a very sweet time for our family!

This is a funny picture of me, but you can see how cute the boys are with their matching outfits!!

Steele introducing our family!

After service we had lunch with both sets of the boys' grandparents and their aunts and uncles and even one set of great-grandparents! It was a great time!! Of course....Drew just wanted the cake!

More to come of Memorial Day...the natives are getting restless....
