Dental Visit

The kids had their annual check up at the dentist this morning.  It was our first visit in our new town, so they were both a little nervous.

Making new friends

 Their appointments were back to back, so I sat in the waiting room with each of them, but was allowed to go back when Dr Britton was checking up on Cooper ~ thus only ONE picture!

It was a great visit, neither had cavities, but Cooper was warned to stop sucking his thumb and finger!!!

This office was great, both kids said they had fun!

 After the dentist, Cooper went to school for his class Easter party while Reagan spent the day with Gigi (I stayed with a friend who is recovering from surgery).  After school, I took Cooper to see Bubba...and he's back in his happy place~driving lawnmowers!

Last Day

Today was Cooper's last day working with Bubba (he'll actually work tomorrow, but I won't be there to document) because he starts pre-k next week.  He has had so much fun working with Bubba this summer and has learned EVERYTHING about lawnmowers, just ask him, he'll tell you!.  I just had to take a few pictures while I was there.

Day at the Lake

We spent a lazy day at Gigi & Bubba's house today.  Cooper went to work with Bubba early in the morning. Greg, Reagan and I came to visit the shop later in the day.

Cooper's work includes test driving mowers

 Reagan tests the comfort of the seats

 Reagan was also the greeter for the day

 Cooper wanted to show Greg how the lawnmowers worked

 two thumbs up!

 Reagan bored rather quickly of the work and went and sat in the van!

a boy's work is never done ~ he cleaned out logs from the lake

 Reagan came down to the lake to supervise

 she really wanted to ride on the boat!

 Finally, a boat ride.  No swimming today as a storm was nearing, but we did get to spend a little time on the lake

 Cooper waved at the passing boaters

 After dinner and ice cream, Cooper rode his 4-wheeler

Weekend at Bubba & Gigi's

We made the trip to Tennessee this morning to visit Gigi and Bubba for the weekend!  We visited Bubba at his lawnmower store before heading to their house for dinner and then on to Menchi's for dessert.

Cooper thought he was the bee's knees on the big lawnmower!

 they pretended to have lawnmower races

 Won't be long before she's driving one of these for real

 When we got to Gigi and Bubba's house, Cooper found the old ATV they had - he hasn't ridden it since he was a year old!

 We had dessert at Menchi's ~ always a crowd favorite!

Sunny Days

I kept the kids busy with lots of time outside today.  The weather was absolutely perfect, so we spent most of the day outside.

going for a morning bike ride

 Cooper loves to blow dandelions

 and he took time to smell the flowers

ALL the flowers

 around the ENTIRE neighborhood

 a 30 minute walk took almost an hour

 we played soccer

 played in the sandbox

 and, mowed the grass

 putting the lawnmower up beside daddy's

 when Reagan got home from school, we headed back outside

 and rode scooters

 Cooper has become the "cat whisperer" since visiting Mamaw & Papaw's house

 taking in the view from daddy's truck

 Later this evening, Reagan had another soccer game

 I love to watch her ponytail swing!

 oh no!  the other team scored

 let's go Blaze

 Go Reagan!

 It was a hard played game by both sides ~ the final score was tied 2-2!!
