Scenes from our weekend

It was just a laid back weekend over here.  No real plans, we just kind of played it by ear.  It was a nice change of pace as I feel like we are always going 100mph.  Friday afternoon we talked about having a date night, but we just decided to stay home.  It seems like we do that a lot.  We need to be better about making time for ourselves, but most of the time after working all week we are both just ready to crash by Friday.  My dad came over and had dinner with us and played with the kids.

Saturday my in-laws picked Brady up and took him and his cousin Henry to the zoo.  Those boys had the BEST time together.  They are just 2 months apart, and they are really starting to become best buddies.  Brady was less than thrilled to see us when we came to pick him up.  He did not want to leave Nanna and Papa's house.  Paul took the opportunity to go play golf (and for the record I am up to about 15 hours of free time given I have let Paul play golf 4 times in the past two weeks- who's in for a girl's day??).  That left Katelyn and I have to a mother/daughter day.  It was nice to get to spend some time one on one with her since she doesn't get that luxury too often.

Daddy made blueberry pancakes!

She approved :)

Building towers to knock them down!

Shhh...don't tell Brady she was driving his car.

Taking after his momma...he loves to ride horses!

Sunday we decided to change things up a bit and go to The Pancake House for breakfast ;).  We have learned that Katelyn has no time to wait on her food. As soon as she is in the high chair the Queen B would like to be served immediately.  We got her some toast to tide her over until her pancakes were ready, but oh no- she was having none of that.  I took her out of the restaurant to calm her down until the food got there.  As soon as we walked out that door she lost it even more and started pointing at the door to go back in.  Poor girl thought I was making her leave with no breakfast.  As soon as she got her pancakes she was happy as a clam dancing in her chair while she shoveled them in her mouth with a huge grin.  She is going to be our diva child for sure (wonder where she gets that from??).

After breakfast Henry came over to play for a while before heading back home to Charleston.

After naps we headed to Waldo's to swim in his pool.  Brady thinks he is an Olympic swimmer now, and he scares me half to death.  He constantly wants to swim under water, but the problem is he hasn't learned how to come up for air.  He will just hold his breath the whole time.  We pick him up for air, and he immediately wants to go back under.  He goes for round 2 of swim lessons this week, so maybe they can teach him how to do that before I have a heart attack.

Katelyn discovered that she can stand up on her own!  I happened to snap a picture at the perfect time when she took her hands off her walker to give herself a round of applause.  After she discovered this new trick, she kept doing it on the pool step (of all places), but of course I was there to catch her.  I have a feeling we will have a walker in a few weeks.

Big girl!

Love my girl!

Look momma- no hands!

I could eat her up.

It was another great weekend spent making memories with family.  Now, back to the grind!
