Grandma Barb & Grandpa Greg's House

Today was an absolute beautiful weather day!! Tim was planning on helping a neighbor with building a garage for the day and I had wanted to take Carys to the zoo. I had asked different people to join us but no one was able to go. The day was going to be beautiful and Carys and I had to do something outside. We ended up driving over to my mom's house. We had so much FUN!! First we sat on a blanket in the yard and ate our lunch. Then we got out the riding lawnmower and I took Carys for a ride. We did more playing in the yard, went for a walk and Carys rode in the stroller (which is very RARE) and then...we played in the pond. I put Carys' feet in and she just kicked and kicked. We were sitting down trying to skip rocks and then she had to splash with her hands. After that we moved to sit at a different spot on the ground by the pond and she proceeded to try to crawl IN the pond. This kid loves the water. Last week she started to put her face down in the water while taking a bath. After all the fun with the pond, Grandpa Greg hooked up the wagon to the lawnmower to do some work. When he was finished, Carys and I hopped in for a ride. It's so fun being a mom because it gives you the perfect excuse to do kid things all over again (and you won't look silly). We were outside with Grandma and Grandpa for three hours. Needless-to-say, Carys fell asleep on the drive home. Once she woke up we went over to the neighbors to see how the building of the garage was progress. We sat outside for another two hours (or a little more). Thank God for SPF 50!! I put it on Carys throughout the day, but not myself. I now have a farmer tan! Yeah!! Enjoy the photos!!

Sound like fun! The weather has been absolutely perfect here too! Taylor can not get enough of the outdoors. She always lets me know that she would rather be outside then taking a nap as soon as we hit the door .... she starts vocalizing her opinion.

My goodness, isn't she just growing so big. She is pure piece of sugar sent from heaven I am sure of it. I love her to pieces. I'm glad she likes the water. I'm so thankful for her new teeth too. Love you all, G'mom
