Our Favorite Thing

One of our favorite things to do is pick up Dalton from school. Every now and then we get to do this. It usually goes something like this... we anxiously wait our turn in the carpool line. Dalton comes out of the school and waits on the breezeway. He sees us and smiles and waves. I look in my rearview mirror and both Cole and Ella are smiling and waving at him. It is precious. He comes running to the car and jumps in. Ella is usually jabbering away about something to him and Cole always says, "Hey Dalton" smiling from ear to ear. Dalton and Cole then talk about something. Most of the time Dalton is teaching Cole something new. Today it was about pro basketball. He told Cole all about the different teams and then said, "Do you understand Cole?" Cole looked at him with his big eyes and said, "Yeah. I do." Then Dalton read Ella a story. (Still can't believe he is reading so well. Seems like only yesterday I was asking him what does a cat say ... he always meowed so funny.) Dalton is so fun and easy to love. He is always in a good mood and has such a kind heart and we just can't wait until the next time we get to pick him up from school!

Hope I am that cool one day!

Long Weekend

Scott took Friday off so we had a long weekend. Friday we worked in the yard some. It didn't take Scott and I long to remember why we don't do yard work. It's too hard with two young children. I also started getting a huge sinus headache from being outside. Saturday we went to the Oliver reunion in Pine Level and later that night Scott and I had a date night. Scott's parents came over to babysit while we went out to dinner with Vicki and Chris and their friends to celebrate their anniversary. I laughed and laughed all night. Vicki and her friends are hilarious. Sunday, we went to McDonald's for breakfast and then hung out at home. My head is finally feeling better. I discovered something called a Nebby Pot (not sure that's right). It's suppose to clean out your sinus and nasal passages. Strangest thing I've ever done but it worked. My headache started to go away. Mom and Dad came by today to check on our garden and thin out some plants. I forgot what I planted where. The little plants all look the same, so we will have to wait and see what's what. One of the nicest things about staying home... I don't get that dreaded feeling on Sunday night about having to go back to work on Monday. It's Saturday again tomorrow for me.

Cole loves to play ball with Scott. Sometimes he is the pitcher and will throw Scott three balls at once. It's cute to watch.

She did get some in her mouth... I think.

Cole is so excited that Papa Rudy came to play with him.

Nana, what is date night?
