Cow Appreciation Day #4

This was our 4th year to participate in Chickfila's Cow Appreciation Day. We enjoyed our completely FREE dinner, and then the kids enjoyed the bouncy house outside.

Swimming Fun

Molly invited us over to go swimming and have lunch on Tuesday. The kids had a great time (although Jordanna only stayed in the float for about 2.5 seconds).

Still Keeping Busy

Keeping Busy

So, somehow the week escaped from me without blogging. We've been keeping busy around here!

Tuesday we went swimming with some friends from church.


On Wednesday, I took my three plus the little guy I babysit to the park and story time.

Thursday, we ran to Publix and then hung out around home the rest of the day.



Dave took Caleb and Alexa to see Cars 2 and out to lunch on Friday while Jordanna and I went shopping and to lunch with Molly.

Today, my cousin Melissa got married.

Happy 4th Birthday, Alexa

We had lots of fun celebrating Alexa's 4th birthday today. She was dying to open presents this morning, so I let Caleb give her the one he had picked out -
Belle gloves, ring, purse, and necklace. She loved it, and he was so proud of himself.
She helped me make her cake.
The finished product.
Opening more presents - a dress, a Strawberry Shortcake DVD, and a princess art kit.

Sweet four year old girl.
Out to eat for her birthday dinner in her new dress.

Time for cake!

Jordanna had her very own piece of cake.

Chocolate Dipped Bananas

I took Alexa grocery shopping with me on Friday while Caleb and Jordanna stayed home with Daddy. When we were picking up some bananas, she noticed a chocolate dipping kit right next to them and asked if we could get it. Since I love chocolate dipped bananas and thought it would be a fun summertime activity, I agreed. And they turned out yummy!
