big weekend!

Me & the boys spent a couple days in Chattanooga with my parents. We stayed at the Chattanooga Choo Choo, went to the IMAX, the Aquarium & Lake Winnapesoka! We had a blast!

We've spent some time at the pool this summer & taking swimming lessons. The boys are doing great and by lesson 5 are swimming short distances on their own!

Luke is desperately waiting his turn on the diving board. Yes, he is 2 1/2 & fearless. He's been off the board 3 times with coach Will waiting in the water for him.

Jacob is a little more cautious, but did go off the board today & loved it!

Things are coming together at the new Purifoy casa. Here is a table I bought on craigslist for our living room.

Jacob was SO excited about helping me. Here is in 2 sizes too small "paint clothes." He is so focused!
And here is the finished product!

While the kids were doing this for the weekend with Gigi & G-Pop...

Michael & I were doing this...

Thanks John & Vicki for a weekend away!

Thanks to our neighbors, Luke was able to take his first swim on 2010! He had a blast! Jacob was with his daddy at golf camp. Luke has been eyeing the swimming pool a while and when we got to the pool I think he was overwhelmed with how big pools are (cause I'm not sure if his little mind can remember swimming last year), then he said "mommy, will you teach me to swim?"

We celebrated 3 friends' birthdays on Saturday. Here is Jacob waiting patiently for cake.

And Luke digging in...

Mother's Day

Jacob, Luke & my niece, Elle

Jacob's class & other pre-k kids had a special day at school... they got to show off their work in their class, sing for their mommies & daddies, then we had a Chik-Fil-A picnic lunch together! What a big smile!
