Dale Hollow Lake

Saturday was a beautiful day at Dale Hollow Lake. It was sunny and hot, perfect weather for boating on a lovely lake. We woke up and headed to breakfast at the lodge and then got on the water.
First up was wake boarding. Baylor has been working and the water there was so calm so he was ready.

The water is so clear!

Cooper wanted to wake board too but his feet are still too small. He gave it a try though. He's a tough little guy who wants to be just like his bubby.

Baylor surfed too.

Coop loves being on the surf board.

They have loved all of our time on the water this summer.

We anchored in a perfect spot and swam and played in the water. Baylor and I swam over to the shore to look for any special rocks or pieces of wood.

Parker took a nap in his seat.

Daddy got him all set up with a shaded spot.

He loves to kick and splash off the back of the boat.

He call this raft his boat and Daddy takes him for a ride.

Coop calls it his little pool.

Captain P.

He likes to stand up and check himself out in the mirror.

The ladder is a favorite spot.

It's so cute to watch Parker kick and swim.

We went in for a nap and then came back out in the evening and stayed on the water until sunset. It was a gorgeous night.

He was cheering for his brother while he was wake boarding. He kept yelling that's awesome, he is Baylor's biggest fan.

Baylor did great and stayed up for a long time.

After he got up the first time and stayed up Tom jumped in the water and was cheering for him. Baylor was so excited and Tom was so proud.

After boating we all got ready for dinner and went to the restaurant. It was packed but we looked around the store and we got a table. The boys loved riding in this boat while we were waiting.

The boys got ice cream with their dinner and he picked Superman ice cream.

The chef came to our table with his guitar and played The Wheels on the Bus for the boys. They were clapping and singing. He was so nice to the boys.

This was the boys in the car on Friday night. They finally gave in and slept part of the way. It was a long drive and we were all glad when we made it to our cabin.

Park

This morning I went to Turbokick and Jamie went too. I love Turbokick, it's a great workout and you feel like you actually worked out. Afterwards we went to the park by house with Drew and Jack. The kids had a little snack thanks to Jamie before playing. They were worn out from playing at the gym.


It was hot but we were there a little after 10 and we were the only ones there. It's so nice!


Parker loves Drew and Jack and is so cute when he says their names.


Swinging.


Parker likes to stand on the bottom step and jump over and over.


Hi Mom!


He didn't want to leave but Drew had to get ready for kindergarten and we needed to stop at Mimi's house.


Coop talked Mimi into two snow cones. He was so happy.


It was a great treat to eat after playing hard on a hot day.


Then we had to hurry home for lunch and to pack. We picked Baylor up from school and then went to pick up Daddy from work. We are excited for a weekend together and lots of time on the water.

InstaFriday


I'm linking up again for Insta-Friday. How is it Friday already? I'm excited though because it's a long weekend!!!!


life rearranged



This morning we were all up early and helped Daddy get the boat all ready for the weekend.



Baylor can officially now swing himself. He was so pumped. He can go so high.
Coop even had time to ride his bike before we left. He is so proud that he can put his helmet on all by himself.

We are all packed up and ready.


We are staying at a cabin this weekend and the boys are excited. Coop says I've never stayed in a cabin this is so exciting.


After flag football practice I met Daddy and Baylor at DQ for dinner. I left practice early and made one more trip to Meijer for a few last minute items.


Is there anything better than new jammies and nice and clean kids ready to snuggle before bed?


An ice cream treat.


Daddy texted me this picture on Wednesday to let me know the jeep had arrived. He was so excited. He's been so stressed lately this was a good thing for him.


He loves to play peek a boo.


Boot camp is still going on but he hasn't made it to his bed. I'm not sure when he will but he is going to sleep quickly without me and he sleeps all night. Progress I tell ya!


We do homework as soon as Baylor gets home. I had chocolate chip cookies waiting for him and he was so excited.


We were at the grocery and he was melting down but a few M&M's and an Icee and he was good to go again.


Sleeping with his pal.


A boy and his dog.


Yes, it's plastic but we're working our way up. One day he'll have a real dog, one day.


They've played so well this week.


Breakfast time!

Little Athletes

Today was our second day of gymnastics for Cooper and Parker. They loved it again.
Parker did a great job listening today.

He did a head stand on his first try. Miss Emma was so proud because he listened so well. She said most kids can't get it for several times.

Tarzan!!!!


Roll away Cooper.

A littl bear on the bars.


He loves climbing and jumping.


Today was Baylor's first day of flag football. He enjoyed it but there are only 5 kids on the team.


I'm not sure how the season will go.


It may be a short season for the Hurst family.

Embrace the Camera



This week I am linking up with Emily for Embrace the Camera. It's all about making sure you get in the pictures too. This week it's all about Daddy and Baylor.

Baylor really wanted Daddy to take him to school this morning so he could ride in the new jeep. Tom was able to work his schedule out so he could treat his big boy to a morning with Daddy.
They left early and went to Cafe 52 for breakfast.

They really are super pals.

They are also both super excited about the new Jeep.

Tom kept Baylor in the loop during the hunt for the perfect Jeep and he thought it was so fun looking at pictures of them. He really wanted a red one too.

I love these two so!

Daddy's New Ride

Daddy's new jeep was delivered yesterday all the way from Utah. The boys knew it was coming today and could not wait to get inside and have a look around. It's bright and big and perfect for boys.
Daddy worked later so they came out right after shower which was great because they were all nice and clean just like the new jeep. Parker says jeep and it's the cutest thing ever. He didn't want to give up the driver's seat. It was his spot.

The top was down and he thought it was cool to stick his head out.

This jeep has some monster tires. I seriously may need a ladder to get in:).

While we were all excited about the jeep Daddy had to work on getting my tire off my truck. This morning we realized it had a flat tire. Tom had someone pick him up from work and I drove his truck. He had a big nail in it and was completely flat.
