Weekend Fun!

We had a great weekend with Dad being home and not too much to do. We did manage to do some special things some that we have pics for and some that we don't. On Friday night we just hung out at home, which is always fun. The boys were climbing the tree in the front yard and showing off their big muscles. On Saturday, Nate took Cy out to Joey's to help work on the fence. They stayed and played all day out there, Cy has so much fun playing with his cousins and his Aunt Courney( as he says). Colby and I were off on an adventure of our own. We got dressed up and headed with Grandma and Tuck to the Ravenwood graduation. Our good buddy Cody graduated, so we went to cheer him on. Colby lasted about 30 mins, then the handing out of diplomas just put him to sleep. We had fun and are proud of Cody. The Pilkinton's came to eat and hangout that night, and the boys had fun playing together.
Sunday had no big plans after church, until we got a fun call from Poppie and Nonnie. They wanted to take the big kids, Briley, Braxton and Cy down to Dickson for the day. We do not have any pics from the day so far, but hopefully we can get some. The kids went to Aunt Jenna's farm and played with the chickens, rooster, and most importantly her new baby goats. They had sooo much fun. They were still going strong at 9 when we got there to get Cy.
Monday started bright and early for us after a spend the night at Poppi and Nonni's. We took the little boys to Lorreto, TN to be in the Memorial Day parade for Pop's campaign. We rode in the truck and threw candy. Cy loved holding the candy, not too sure about throwing it out to people. We are still working on SHARING!! We then hung out at the Watson's for the afternoon and relaxed. It was great having Nate home and just hanging out. Enjoy the pics!!

Okay I think the theme this week was "favorite photo from the week." So here is one of my favorites from this week. This is Tuck and I at Clay's party on Monday night. Tuck has changed tons this past year and I think we look much more alike! We are also pretty good buddies, so this was the winner for this week. Enjoy!!

Mom calls him, Colby!

Whether you call him Toby tot(Colby Todd)like his brother, or Big Country(the nickname of a TN Titan) like his Pepe and Uncle Tuck, my sweet Colby has a few new tricks to debut. He likes to spend a few minutes everyday hanging around in his Johnny Jumper and Cy thinks it is so cool that Colby is actually up and moving. I think he will be super excited when Colby is old enough to sit up and play a little. We have also been practicing our tummy time so that when the sweet nurse asks at our 4 month visit if we can lift our head up we will say YES with pride. Colby is so sweet and chilled he just goes with the flow. I also took him to get his 3 month pics today, a little late, but not too bad. We are still torturing him daily with rice cereal, but I may try the oatmeal soon to see if he likes it any better. That is all that is happening in the world of Colby, Toby, or Big Country which ever you prefer!! Hope you enjoy the pics and have a great Friday!

Happy Birthday Uncle Clay!

Last night we celebrated my brother's 26th birthday. We met up with my parents, my youngest brother Tucker, Clay, Allison, her family and the Sawyers to eat at Omikoshi. We left the babies at home with sweet Stephanie and enjoyed the time out without all the kiddos. I made everyone pose several times to get as many blogworthy photos as I could. My camera was acting a little funny at times so some did not turn out as well. But we did get some good shots of Clay and Allison, as well as the fam! It was fun meeting Allison's parents and brother. Nate was very impressed with her brothers choice of law school(Harvard)!! He tried to convince someone(not sure anyone was listening) that he got accepted there as well for undergrad, but decided to follow his best friend Jesse to Tech instead! Sure Nate!!! Happy birthday Uncle Clay!! We love ya!

Wormies, Tractors, and a rodeo- Every little boys dream!

Yes, we started Saturday morning on a serious hunt for wormies. Cy, mom and dad all searched the yard, calling out to our "wormie" friends and hoping to find them. Cy was able to find a few and had to hand them all to Mom. Which actually was not that bad, Mom's favorite part of going fishing is putting the worms on the hook. I really am a boys mom! After brother woke up and the "wormie" hunting got old, we went over to the park to the touch a truck event. This one was not quite as fun as the one at church last fall, but none the less we did see several tractors and garbage trucks. We think those are soo cool! Cy and Colby were both terrified any time some older kid blew the horn at the event, so we only stayed for a little bit. After a good nap we were off the the rodeo with our cousins Briley, Brax and Barron. We also invited some Dr. friends of Nathan and Joey's to come. They have three little ones as well, so again we adults were very out numbered. It was great fun though. Last year Cy screamed his head off and hated it!!! This year he was ready to ride those horsies!! He loved it and looked super cute in his rodeo outfit that dad put him in. Gingham shirt, jeans and boots, what a handsome little cowboy. After Colby recieved heart failure from the announcer over the loud speaker a few times, he gave it up and crashed. I think he will like it more next year. Cy had a great day and we did too watching him have so much fun!

Sunday was church, Barron's baby dedication and a fun party at Will's house. Cy had a blast playing in the creek with Will and all his friends. He did crash by 7:30 and got a much needed 12 hours of sleep! Hope your weekend was full of all your favorite things!

Okay, so I am totally copying this from some other blogs I stalk, but I think it is a great way to end the week. This is the only pic of my two little buddies and I last week at the beach! It is currently my screen saver and it makes me smile everytime I open the computer. So I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Have a wonderful weekend.

Yes, one more thing

Okay, so three posts in one day is a bit much, but I have one more sweet entry to add. Tonight we tried rice cereal for the first time with little Colby. I had a very weird moment as we were about to give it to him, thinking that up to this point in his life he has never had anything but milk in his body. It is amazing that we have been trusted to feed this little person and introduce him to all the things this world has to offer. I was a little sad thinking that he was ready to start the cereal, but his dad insisted. Well as you can see by the pics it was not all that Nate had originally hoped it would be. Oh well, we will try again another night. We are also going to try to go without the 10 o'clock feeding. Up to this point we feed Colby around 7 and put him to bed until 10. We have then been waking him up and feeding him before we go to bed. This is our comfort to know he will sleep all night. Lets keep our fingers crossed that tonight he will go all night without eating. Have fun looking at the pictures of my laid back man, Colby Todd.
