Swim Ranch

Last week Peyton and Parker took swim lessons with Ms. Virgina at the Swim Ranch. Peyton loved every minute and did so good! It took Parker a couple of days to decide if he was going to like the water or not. By Wednesday, he was loving it just like his Bubba. Peyton's class was at 9am and Parker's was at 10am. So my Mom or Jeana would come and sit with whoever was out of the pool. A BIG thanks to Nana and Gigi! Here are the pictures of the boys swimming.

The boys loved Ms. Virgina! She also taught me to swim when I was a child at the Swim Ranch. I'm glad my boys didn't take after me because Mom says I just screamed the whole time during my lessons.

Peyton and Mommy ready for class to begin.

Relaxing on his back.

Dog paddling across the pool (30 feet!) with Ms. Leni.

Bubba was waiting on the other side to give Peyton a big high five!

Parker's turn for his class.

Swimming to Ms. Virgina.

Learning to float on his back.

His favorite part was toy time at the end of each lesson.

The boys were so excited to get their certificate (Peyton says "award") at the end of the week. Parker was tucking it under his arm because he thought someone was going to take it. He is all about the word "MINE!" Can't wait for next year!

Loving His Bike

Last week we let Peyton pick out his first real bike at Walmart and of course he chose the Spiderman one.  It took a a few days to figure it all out.  But yesterday, he took things to a new level and he is racing all over our neighborhood now.  We're so proud of you, Peyton!

Waiting for Bubba to catch up on his tricycle.

Ms. Avery Elisabeth

Our good friends, Ashley and Chad, welcomed their little baby girl into the world this morning.  Ash and I met in 6th grade and she was one of my best friends growing up.  Check out Ashley's blog, here, for more pictures of precious Avery.  And while you're there, scroll down to see pictures of her nursery.  This little Diva has such a fun room!  

Congrats Chad and Ashley!  Can't wait to watch our kiddos grow up together.

Fun in May

I can't believe it is already June!  I guess it's true, time flies when you're having fun.  Peyton will turn four in three months and Parker is a few days shy of being 22 months old.  I'm not ready to be a Mom to a 4 and 2 year old yet.  They are growing up too fast!  Here are some random pictures from the month of May.

Peyton made this flower pot at KDO for my Mother's Day present.  He was so excited when the flower began to bloom.

 Boys at Shiloh's spring football practice watching Daddy coach.  Their favorite part was the popsicles after the practices.

This year Daddy let Peyton come to Shiloh's youth football camp a couple years early.  He loved being around the older kids and felt so big.

Parker going on an early morning walk with Mommy.

Grandaddy and Peyton fishing at their pond.

Parker trying out his new mower.

Animals came to visit the last day of KDO.  I can't believe this was his last year at KDO and he will be starting K4 at Shiloh this fall.

Here's Parker with the shirt he made his last day of KDO.

Parker refueling with water from Poppy, while swimming at the pool.

I'll be dragging this pool out when I'm too lazy to take them to the neighborhood pool.  

We are excited June is here and it won't be long till we'll be on the beach very soon!

Memorial Day

We went to a cookout last night at my parents house for Memorial Day.  My grandparents, Rick (my brother), Nick (Josh's brother) and his family all joined us over there for Dad's smoked BBQ and to swim in their pool.  Enjoy the pictures below.

Peyton trying to drink the water-gross!

I love this smile!

This made me a little nervous but Parker's not scared of anything!

Reese loved this swing.  This was the same swing I used when I was a child.

Happy Birthday to Josh, GiGi, and Reese

This past week we celebrated 3 birthdays in the Floyd family.  Tuesday was Josh's, Wednesday was GiGi's, and today we celebrated Reese's.  For Josh's birthday we celebrated by having a cookout at his parent's house.  We ate great food and had lots of fun.

Josh, we love love you so much.  You are the best husband and Daddy in the world!  You mean the world to the boys and I.  Thanks for always making us so happy.  Hope you enjoy your last year in the twenties!! 

Wednesday was GiGi's birthday!  This year we celebrated her birthday and Mother's Day together on Sunday with a nice meal after church on Sunday.  We love our GiGi!

Today we celebrated Reese's 2nd birthday at Chuk E Cheese.  The boys and Reese had so much fun running wild and playing all the games.  Reese, I can't believe you are turning 2!  It seems like just yesterday your Mommy and I were pregnant with you and Parker while dreaming of the day you both would be born.  We love you SO much, Reese.  We can't wait for you to come spend the night with us next week!!

This is Reese today after eating her Princess cake.

Mother's Day

I am so thankful God has chosen me to be the Mom to my two precious boys. I couldn't imagine my life without them in it. They make me smile and laugh everyday and I LOVE them to pieces!!! Josh did a great job helping them pick out gifts for me. They gave me beautiful flowers and a giftcard to a spa.

This was taken yesterday before we went to church.

Below is a picture of my Mom and the boys last summer in Watercolor, FL.   I love her so much and so do my boys! My Mom is one of my best friends and I know I can ALWAYS count on her. She does so much for us, too much to list here! Thanks Mom for everything and for being such a wonderful Nana to our boys!

Below is my Mother in Law, Jeana, with Parker. I have the best MIL ever! She is so sweet. I am thankful we are so close and always have a great time together. Jeana, thank you for raising Josh and doing such a great job. We love our GiGi.

The month of May always involves a lot of celebrating at our house. Tomorrow is Josh's birthday (#29!!!), Wednesday is my MIL's birthday and the following week my niece, Reese, will turn 2! It's always so much fun and we eat way too much birthday cake for one month!
