What we've been up to and May Photo Dump

We've definitely been enjoying the lazy days of summer! Although, they aren't so lazy with two one year olds! I'll let the pictures guide this post and hopefully get back to more of a blogging schedule now that we've settled into our summer routine.

This blog post will cover our activities for May. I was counting down the days until school let out and I could hang out with these babies. Here they are playing at Gigi's house. I love getting pictures at work!

Emma Cate picked up this strange sort of crawl for about a week until she learned how to really crawl. It cracked us up!

We went to Jay's side of the family's annual reunion. We got there a little late but had fun meeting all sorts of family members. They normally hold it over memorial day weekend and I was wasn't able to go last year due to travel restrictions with my pregnancy.

I love these pictures at Jay's Grandma's house. She hasn't changed any of her decorating ever and everything is vintage. I'm sure they had pictures of Jay playing on the same things!

After getting blisters from playing in our walkers outside, Gigi decided it was time for the babies to get some shoes! Here they are trying on their new keens.

The next few are from music together class. I am amazed at how much my mom's hair has grown since these pictures were taken! Both Gigi (my mom) and Gran (Jay's mom) came to music class to help out with the babies while I took pictures. It was our last class until fall and we are missing it SOOO much!

Our favorite teacher Ms. Liz who is due with her own baby boy any day now!

5/22- I spent a LOT of time working on the babies' first birthday party! Luckily we had a lot of downtime at school with field trips so I used that time to cut all the paper products

5/22- We started introducing whole milk to the babies at their 11 month birthday. We started small and built up so that they would be on 100% whole milk by their first birthday and I could stop breastfeeding

5/23- Mommy and Daddy date night!

5/24- Our favorite Food Truck Friday. All these yummy food trucks park in an empty lot in Southend. We brought the baby gates and got tons of weird looks but our babies were happy and safe and mom and dad got to enjoy themselves! This was later than normal bed time so we changed the babies into PJs there and they fell asleep on the way home!

5/26- We took the babies to the lake for the first time! The water was FREEZING but Holden and Daddy got in. Emma Cate HATED her life jacket and cried pretty much the entire time. Needless to say, next time we went to the lake we got a babysitter.

5/27- Memorial Day was spent at Gigi's pool. The babies had a great time despite the cooler weather and water! The baby pool was a huge hit.

That night we had a fun cookout at my parent's house!

5/30- I took the day off work and my mom and I headed to Augusta to bring the babies to my sister, Allie's PT class. They were studying physical development of babies and needed some hands on learning so we volunteered the babies. The babies were exhausted after playing with all the PT students!

5/31- We went to food truck friday again with our friends, the londry's. I can't believe I don't have any pictures of all the kids together but they also have a set of boy girl twins!
