Party Time!

After Bible School yesterday, our buddies Asher, Caleb, and Luke came over to eat lunch and play! 

Riley Cates loved talking to Luke and telling him lots of important things. I think she was just glad that she wasn't the youngest one there for once!

Caleb and I had fun hanging out in the toy box! 

                                      

Caleb and I have a special bond because he is just 9 days older than I am. Our Mommies had fun being pregnant at the same time, and Caleb even came to visit me at the hospital when I was born... right after he had gotten out of there! So we got to go celebrate his birthday (and his brother Luke's first birthday!)  at their house today! It was awesome to play out in the water! This hose was cool. It squirted everywhere! 

They had a giant water slide. It made me a little nervous. Of course Riley Cates was doing everything she could to get on there. She is fearless! Maybe she'll be big enough next time! 

She found a fun car to play in instead.

I was even a sweet big brother and pushed her around... until I almost pushed her into the big slide! Oops! In my defense, those cars are very hard to steer.

Riley Cates found a slide more her size!

And she liked squirting people with the hose!

And, of course, she wanted to take a drink of the water. 

Oh, and actually get in the water table. You know how she likes to climb!

Speaking of the water table, I liked playing in it too. When it needed a little more water, I came to the rescue with the hose. Mommy said it would take a long time to fill it up that way!

So while I waited, I found the coolest John Deere tractor to ride! It was an awesome day at an awesome party!

Before and After

Before the last day of Bible School...

After the last day of Bible School...

Yes, Mommy and I went on a walk this afternoon, and I fell fast asleep! Apparently we saw Hannah while we were out (Riley Cates had stayed home with Daddy), and she played by me for quite a while before I woke up! What can I say? I was exhausted from a wonderful week of VBS!

Good Helper

So what do I get to do all day while Jackson is off at Bible School doing fun things like making this "breastplate of righteousness"? 

I'm so glad you asked! Today I was a great helper. While Mommy packed boxes, I tested them out to make sure there was enough room for all our stuff. 

And then I tried a few things which may be the beginning of a modeling career...

And then I played with Jackson's cars.

Uh-oh! I take that back! I did no such thing! I would never mess with his toys! 

(Sometimes I say things that I don't mean to say, and then I don't know what to do!)

All in all, I would say it was a good morning, but I sure was glad to see him when he got home!

Yay for Today!

Today was a great day! Riley Cates and I started off the day with some snuggle time (all on our own--Mommy just grabbed the camera when she saw the cute moment!).

And then...

BIBLE SCHOOL! 

Hooray! Bible School was so fun! I was in a big classroom this year. There weren't as many toys as there are in the nursery, but we were so busy that I didn't even notice! Our theme is Soldiers of Christ, so I stopped to pose with the knight guarding the church! He is pretty cool! 

And then, just when I thought the day couldn't get any better, we went to Chick-fil-A! Guess who loves ice cream and doesn't want anybody to help her eat it?!

Sissy is so funny!

Oh, and I finally learned that it is better to eat the ice cream before eating the cone. I never could figure out why I was always making such a mess! Ha!

And that was it for the day, right? Nope! Mommy and Daddy took us to play in the water fountains! We got soaking wet and had a great time doing it! 

Perhaps Mommy and Daddy were trying to get us super tired so we would sleep well tonight? Hmmm... Either way, it was an awesome day!
