Possible Flood?

The kids must know something I don't....perhaps a terrential down pour, flooding river, leaky roof...something......because Abby is insistent on wearing her rain jacket with the hood up and Will is insistent on wearing his googgles. Sure hope they aren't preparing themselves for when I leave Jen's house today. :)

Off for a day of fun in Louisville and Lexington. Pics to soon follow.

Weekend Happenings...


Let's see...I will start with Friday.

Friday we went out to the house and couldn't believe all the progress they had made this past week. Almost all the dry wall was up (except for the basement) and this week they are mudding and sanding. We are so anxious for them to be done.

Saturday morning we got up and took a 2 hour trip to go and pick out the granite for our kitchen counter tops...and we are SOOO thankful we did. The sample we picked out at the store was vastly different from what they had at the wharehouse. It was way more orangey brown. Had we not gone to see it ourselves, we would have been so diasppointed. I highly recommend anyone that is putting granite in their home to actually go and pick out the slabs themselves. We then drove on to Bloomginton to have lunch and get a taste bigger city life. It was a fun morning.


Saturday night a guy that Brian works with, Chris, invited us over for dinner with him and his family. He and his wife Dana have 2 boys (ages 4 and 15 months) and we had the nicest time. Dana was so friendly and so welcoming and Will loved their older son. The food was out of this world (ribs smoked on the grill for 10 hours) and the hospitatily so nice. And the best part is that they live down the street from the house we are building. I can't wait to see more of them.

Today, my parents came up for a visit and they brought with them lunch from Old Hickory..plus mom's mac-n-cheese and home made peach cobbler. We ate like kings...AGAIN. Needless to say, we have consumed way too much food this weekend but we sure did enjoy it.

A very nice weekend.

Already looking forward to Friday and our visit with Jen and A.J.'s birthday party Friday night....and next weekend Bardstown. I can already taste those yummy Hadorn donuts.

A great way to spend a day...



Yesterday was such a treat. The Taylor Tots had a play date with the St. John tots and what fun it was!!! We met half way in Owensboro and took the kids to the museum and to Chick-Fil-A for lunch. I was so impressed with the Owensboro museum....not so much for the exhibits but the indoor play space. I have never seen a museum with such a big, nice indoor play area.
It is so nice that our children love being with each other as much as I love being around Jennifer. It is twice as nice when everyone has a friend. Abby loves E-E. She said at least 10 times yesterday "E-E is my friend". I catch them holding hands, laughing, and playing together. It is the cutest thing. We love the St. John's. Here are some pics from our day...

Will's "mad skills"

There is nothing that excites this boy more than his daddy winning a few races on Mario Kart and unlocking a new world or character. It is big time around here. I secretly snapped a video of Will doing his "mad skills" as Brian was about to win.
Shhh...I think he gets his dancing skills from his dad.

Cute pics of the kids...

I snapped these a couple days ago and forgot to share. It was our last time to attend church as Kentucky residents. :(

Wedding Fun

Last night we drove to Fort Knox for Brian's cousin's (J.T.) wedding. We haven't been to a wedding in so long. It was a lot of fun. Great food and great company.
The reception was held at Camp Carlson (a military recreational facility) and it was so nice. For anyone that likes to camp, I highly recommend it. It was quiet, peaceful, had several playgrounds for the kids, and looked very well maintain. Will and Abby both talk about camping all the time (thanks to the "Legend of Pinkfoot" episode on Bubble Guppies) so I know our time of "roughing-it" is soon upon us. Brian and I are way more hotel people then tent people so needless to say our first camping trip will be an interesting one.
Here is a pic from last night.
