Hydrangeas!

I love living here in the south! We get some of the most beautiful flowers and trees! Azelas, hydrangeas, crape myrtle trees! All so beautiful!
This year I planted 7 hydrangea bushes by the fence in the side yard. Soon, you won't be able to see the fence, or the tree branches we have been cutting down!


This one has a purplish blue colored bloom.This one's bloom is a dark pink, which is weird, the color of the bloom's depend on the pH of the soil. And I have a hard time believing the pH level is drastically different in the space of 6 feet.
I don't care which color they come in as, I just love them!

Happy May 13th!

Connor reading his book (shhh! don't tell him it's upside down).
ahhhh! Curling up on Daddy's lap watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

We went and played at this wonderful playground this morning and got so dirty!

So I told the kids that they needed to take a bath before they went to bed. They love taking baths so much, they raced up the stairs and tried opening the bathroom door. They were so excited, they couldn't wait. They jumped in the tub fully clothed.

Happy Mothers Day! (yesterday)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day! We have had an eventful week! First it was Jayson's birthday on Friday, Mothers Day on Sunday and we will be celebrating our anniversary on the 13th. To celebrate Jayson's birthday, he took the day off from work and he went to the zoo with us. I think he would have enjoyed it a lot more if there weren't so many school field trips there. Because there were so many people at the zoo, the kids had to stay in their stroller. Zoo Atlanta is located in historic Grant Park, so we found a shady area and let them run! And boy did they run!We are practicing walking while holding mom's hands. Connor was walking on the side closet to the cars, and he had to touch every single one on the way to the van. After we got home, we dropped the van off at the dealership, so they could fix the brakes. The dealership called Saturday morning and said we could come pick it up, so we loaded the kids in the back of the jeep. Jayson has been wanting to take them out in the jeep. Hennessey Honda is close o the house, so we thought this would be a great time for it.
We also took Connor, Caitlin and Kaiser to a local elementary school. They have a huge fenced in playground they all could run around in.

Sunday, was Mothers Day and I was able to sleep in! I can't remember the last time I was able to sleep in to 9:30am! It was wonderful! We went to Uncle Jeff and Aunt Lynne's house Sunday afternoon to celebrate Jayson's birthday. The kids had so much fun!

First Jeep Ride!

The van had to go to the dealer for a vibration in the brakes, so when they called and said it was done, Jayson threw the carseats in the back of the jeep. He has been talking about taking the kids out for a spin in the jeep for a little while now. I think they enjoyed it a little bit.

Splash Table Fun!

Today we bought the kids a splash table. You push different areas and it makes noise and spits water out of the octopus. Now all I have to do is figure a way to keep Caitlin from standing in it.
