Pool Time!

Dinner with the Hensons

Monday night, we went to dinner with Tanner's aunt, uncle, and cousins who were down on vacation from TN. (Technically, cousin Ben just drove over from his home in Mobile, but we're sure it was like a mini-vacation!) We went to one of our favorite gulf-front restaurants the Crab Trap, where you sit outside on picnic tables and there's a great playground for the little ones. We had a great time catching up with them, and Hampton did his best to entertain us all.

 

After dinner, we all walked down to the beach, where Hampton just HAD to get in the water! We'd actually planned for this & packed a swimsuit for him, but he was just too quick for us. Oh, well...sand & sea-soaked clothes are just part of living at the beach!

 

Splish! Splash!

 Hampton is turning into a little fish. He wants to be in the water non-stop. So when we were at Bob & Randi's house the other day, they blew up the kiddie pool & straight in the boys went! Harrison eventually abandoned it for playing at the water table, but Hampton worked on perfecting the perfect dive bomb. As you can tell below, he was definitely enjoying it!

Fountain Fun!

Weekend Update

This weekend we:

Celebrated Bo coming home from his trip

Tanner had a much needed "Girls Night Out" with friends

We headed to the zoo

We played outside 

We spent time at Urgent Care with Harrison, who has an ugly tummy virus

What A Week!

This week was one we hadn't been looking forward to....Bo's business trip. Bo was gone from Monday morning & gets home today from Boston. Neither of us knew what to expect, but the week mostly turned out better than we thought. Bo learned a lot & had fun touring New England, and Tanner managed to wrangle 2 boys alone, and one was sick! Except for H2 having a mean stomach bug, the boys had a great time. We swam, played outside, watched movies, colored, and pretty much ate whatever Hamp wanted for meals. We couldn't have made it without both sets of Grands helping out, though! It definitely takes a village, especially when one parent is a time zone away! 

Here are a couple of pics from 2 very different weeks....

Country Grammar

Hampton is our non-stop talker, telling everyone who will listen about everything in his very southern accent. He also asks a million questions a day, which we mostly don't mind. What we think is too cute, though, is how he messes up some words. He calls crayons "crowns", he says "crashdid" instead of crashed, and he messes up his verb tenses. We hear lots of "he do" and "I does", and it's adorable! Soon enough we'll be correcting his grammar, but right now, we just love hearing what his little mind comes up with!
