Jack with three other boys in the neighborhood. I think there was 3 other families there with us from the neighborhood... lots of kids... lots of fun.
Salem, Walker, Addison, Emma and Jack

Coach Brian and Jack at the pool. Jack can swim the whole length of the pool with no help. I don't think I could even do that! He has had a great two weeks of lessons and hanging out with grandma. Tomorrow is his last day.
Saturday, Michael and I had a big date planned. We drove up to Raleigh, checked into our hotel, ate at PF Changs, shopped, and then went to a hockey game. What an awesome sport! Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the kids. It was the best date.
Friday night we went to the riverwalk downtown to hear a live concert. Joz, Michael's co-worker and Jack's buddy, was there. Jack loves Joz!
So I did not take the bottle from Emma (she would get milk first thing in the morning and at bedtime) until she was 19 months. She just loved her milk...and her pacy. Well maybe I was not ready to let go. Emma has lost 4 pounds since I took the bottle away and is having no problem going to bed without her pacifier. And look how long my skinny (well not yet) little girl's hair is getting!
We got beach pictures taken of us this weekend. The plan was for most of them to be of the kids and a few of us as a family. Well there was really only a FEW of us as a family. Sadly parking was horrible because there was a wedding going on. So Michael dropped us off and we started without him. 10 minutes later, he came out saying he still could not find a spot... I was able to talk him into staying for a few pictures before he ran off so we did not get a ticket. I can't wait to see these pictures of the kids. I am going to have to wait a few weeks, but when I get the online site, I will let you guys know.
More photos from Mother's Day. I know, I know that the princess bathing suite needs to go in the hand-me-down box. Her tatas are coming out if it! Ha!
The kids sent me Lillies (my favorite) to work yesterday for Mother's Day. The delivery guy came in and of course every lady was wondering who the flowers were for. It was me. I was the lucky girl.
Jack never used a pacifier and that was our plan for Emma. However she came six weeks early and was in the NICU for a week, the nurses there used a pacifier with her. Emma is now 20 months old and LOVES her pacy but it was time to get rid of it. I was so nervous to get rid of it but she has gone 2 days without it. I am so proud of her.
Then we headed to Beauford, NC for a wedding reception. It was our first time there and it was beautiful. What a nice coastal town.
Beauford was having a boat festival. Teams were to make boats in 4 hours and then sail them.
We did some shopping.
We got in trouble.
We enjoyed ourselves on the deck while looking at the beautiful view. We actually saw a wild horse on the island across the way.
Here is Emma rocking.
We had a wonderful day!
