Fun Day at the Lake!

We spent Memorial Sunday at Pickwick on Fayth's boat!  We had so much fun riding on the boat and tubing with Terri, Malcomb, Fayth, Ryan, Nolan, Aubrey, Kim, Rob, Mrs. Jackie, Mr. Terry, MiMi, and Pops!! 

Aubrey, Emma, and Fayth's "better side"!  Ha!!  This was a sweet pic of those sweet cheeks! (Even though the daddies pointed out that we wouldn't think a pic of this will be cute in 15 years!)

Aubrey, Emma, and Fayth LOVED the boat!!

This was also Madi's first time on the lake!  She liked it ok, but did not like being contained in such small quarters for very long!  She actually went to sleep like twice while we were riding down the lake...even though it was extremely rough!

"CHEEEE-TOS"

I was very proud of Emma for riding on the tube!  She was not very thrilled about it last year, but she was all about it this time!

Mommy wanted to ride too!!

I think ALL the girls took a nap on the boat at some time!  Sweet Emma and Aubrey taking their turn!  Even Gabe wore his life jacket and took a little snooze!

It was HOT!!  So we took a little swim!

The girls also picked up cup-fulls of little shells! 

And did a little fishing with Daddy!

Fayth and Emma taking turns casting with Emma's pink lure that Nick gave her!

Madi was more excited about suppertime!

Fun in the Sun!

Now that is is 120 degrees outside, we have been making GREAT use of LoLo and PaPa's pool!!  I really don't know how we'll stand it in August! (I'm just thankful I'm not HUGE and Preggo this year!!)

Madi LOVES the pool!!

Emma likes to push Madi around in her motorboat!

Emma took swimming lessons last year and she has remembered everything!  She has picked up right where she left off last year!  She has lessons next week too, so maybe she'll do even better this summer!

Swimming under water!  She is now tall enough to stand flat-footed in the shallow end!

Way to go Emma!!

Madi also likes her little baby pool!  She crawls around it drinking the water like a little puppy!

I chew on everything!

Emma jumping in!  This is leaps and bounds more than what she'd do last year!!

"Oops...forgot my goggles!!"

I have a feeling we'll be LIVING in the pool again this year!

More T-Ball!!

Emma has really enjoyed playing t-ball this year!!  We pretty much play every Monday and Thursday, and are actually down to about only 3 more games.  She has improved so much in just this short time!  Here are some pics from the last couple of games!

Emma is really good at hitting!!

Running the bases!

Looks like they're having a good time!!

Bella is on the pink team that we play every Thursday night!

Run Emma!  One thing we need to work on is slinging the bat!

Sweet girl!

Fayth is great at hitting too!

Emma stomping on the plate! (Maybe next year we'll work on sliding! ;)

Emma's biggest fan!!

A little instruction from Coach Mommy!

Good form!

"Yay Emma!!"

We play the purple team on Mondays!  Addie Moss and Addison Dewitt are on that team!
