Father's Day 2014

This is what it's all about. 

Allergist

Note to self. 

Luke had an appointment at the allergist today. Mostly because he has had 7 ear infections since December and they wanted to rule out any allergies before referring us for tubes/adenoids. Thankfully he showed only a trace to mold and that's it. So that's good. But now we are headed to the ENT. Hopefully this will take care of the reoccurring ear infections. And the allergist said to keep on Zyrtec and discontinue nose spray. 

In the waiting room. So glad they are child friendly. (Acadia Allergy is name of place)

Initial placement of suspected allergies. 

Middle of test. Dr. came in and said looks like mostly negative. 

And the end. The biggest red spot on top left is the "control" test. It's made to react. (Bottom middle is preexisting bruise) No allergic reactions. And Luke did great. No tears and cooperated with the doctor. 

By the time we got home. 

At 5 1/2 years old Luke weighed in at 51 pounds and is 3 feet 10 inches. 

Aiken

Our first day of summer break and we headed to Aiken for the night. We start swim lessons Monday and we wanted to get in the water before starting. So off to the pool and splash pad we went. 

Beau's first time swimming and he loved it!

Henry's 3rd Birthday Party

We celebrated Henry's 3rd birthday yesterday with family and friends. Lot's of fun was had! Thanks to all who were able to make it. It's always fun to watch the cousins play!

The beautiful Emma Kate. Always fun!

 Rachael, aka RaRa, and her sweet kids.

 Pretty sure this is his favorite gift. (and Luke's too!)

 His ice cream cake with sprinkles of course. The #3 candle is the same one we used for Luke's 3rd birthday. :) Wonder if it will make it to Beau's 3rd birthday...

 Waiting patiently for his cake.

 Anny and Yoo Hoo helping Henry get started rolling with his precious cargo.

 He wanted a tractor with a trailer so bad! He got what he wanted! The girls loved riding in the back!

 A boy and his fish bag full of prizes. He took this one straight to his room!

 A really cool truck and a "grabber".

 Papa, Anny, and their three.

  The birthday boy enjoying his pizza!

Thunder thighs

I can't get over these thighs. Almost 4 months old and growing so fast. My chunky baby. I just can't get enough of him. 

Landrum

It's summer time. Which means play dates! Our favorite play dates with cousins! The perks, we all get out of the house, cousins have great bonding times, Rachael and I get sister/adult time, and we wear the kids out for great afternoon naps!
Our first one, we met in Landrum for a park date. It was muddy and nasty from a rain the day before but the kids still had great fun! (Henry may or may not have lost a tennis shoe in a muddy mulched playground)

 Luke is so fast. I don't know a five year old that can run faster than him! Showing off his skills here.

 True to his shirt. He is one awesome Henry.

 Sweet, spunky A. Full of personality.

 Too cool to smile for momma.

 Adaline is really into Luke right now. I remember loving my older cousins too. She begged him long enough that he finally gave into holding her hand. It took a while but I think he secretly liked it.

 Theres my sweet Luke smile. Caught him.

 The youngest cousins (right now). Big boys chewing away on their hands. These two are going to be a mess together, only 19 days apart...
