Mr Fix It

Mimi got Carter a set of play power tools for his birthday and he LOVES them. It has been both a blessing and a curse. :) We always know where he is because you can hear the buzzing of the drill or saw, but the buzzing in constant and nonstop. :) It is hard to be annoyed by the noise when he is having so much fun. Just see for yourself.

Putting the drill bit in (hey I guess it is helpig with fine motor skills)

Look mom I got it in
ROAR...Here I come full force ahead with drill whirling and buzzing.

At the Car Wash

Matt decided it was a nice day to wash the cars and Ella Catherine decided that her car needed a wash as well. She had a BALL and we had an equally good time watching her. If only she would keep this enthusiasm as she grows and is old enough to wash our cars. :)Using the power washer

Gotta get the trunk

And the interior

A good thorough towel wash

oops missed a spot

Fun with daddy

We love getting the kids out early on these HOT summer days to get in some outdoor playtime. One of our favorite spots is the park. Nashville has so many great parks to choose from. This particular morning we were at the Red Caboose Park in Bellevue, TN

play time with daddy

So much funI love this picture! It is as if he is saying "move out the way sister, I've got this"
and there he goes

There is my heart right there on that slide! Matt and our two beautiful children

MoonPie Festival

One of Matt's co-workers and friends is from Beltbuckle,TN, the home of the MoonPie Festival. When we heard about the festival we had to go see it for ourselves, and it didn't disappoint. Just like the rest of the summer, it was very hot but we had a good time. Of course the best part of the trip was the mon pie and the cold RC cola. :) (which we ate in our air conditioned car.)

At the end of a long hot day, Ella Catherine was not so happy about posing in front of the Moon Pie Destival sign holding the cold RC cola and Moon Pie. Yet, we still had to snap the picture. Someday she will look back and laugh at this.

Carter and Matt. Ella Catherine was still traumatized from having to hold the cold RC Cola in the abve picture.

Carter's first bite of a moonpie. He and I shared a lemon MoonPie.

This is not such a great photo of me, but I love it. The look on Carter's face is priceless! I am cheesing it up and it is as if he is saying "are you done hamming it up mom I want some more moonpie."

Ella Catherine's first bite of a MoonPie (of course she chose a chocolate one). The moonpie made everything better!!
