Taylors Every Day - week 22

Monday we were having fun at the lake!

Tuesday the kids went to camp at their school.  The theme was "Ocean Adventure".

Here is a picture of Ella fishing in a princess dress :) 

Tuesday night was Caleb's last soccer game of the season.  He scored 4 goals. 

He has done really well at soccer this year. 

Last game - Caleb is sad this season is over! 

Caleb and one of his friends Landon.  Their teams played each other tonight.

 

Wednesday the kids were worn out!

Not sure if she is tired from the lake or camp but she has napped every day this week! 

Caleb rested with Granddaddy while Ella napped

 

Thursday was the last day of "Ocean Adventure" camp 

Ella and her sweet friends playing dress up at school - Jacob was hanging with all the girls! 

Playing babies and dress up - two of their favorite things! 

Caleb with all his "under the sea" crafts he made this week!

 

Thursday was also Mammy's birthday!

Celebrating with her sweet darlings! 

She got a footprint of Owen to match the other ones she has!  She loved it!

 

Friday we celebrated Katelyn's 5th Birthday at the pool

Ready to go to the pool! 

Katelyn had donuts for her party and the kids loved it! 

 The little girls had fun playing with all the My Little Ponies

Swimming! 

Some of his best friends from school 

The little girls got fingernail polish as their party favor.  Ella did Lizzie Kate's nails by the pool.  This picture cracks me up...she still has her goggles on.  They were so excited they just plopped right down and started painting nails!

 

 

 

 

Memorial Day Fun at the Lake

We headed to Lake Gaston on Friday night for our annual Memorial Day weekend at the lake with the Taylors. 



Friday night all the kids were coloring with Mary Ann.

They stayed up way too late playing but had so much fun together!

Saturday morning all the kids loaded up for a golf cart ride with PePa 

...then Ella headed to the pier to start fishing 

Caleb was ready to swim!  He doesn't care how cold the water is! 

And the girls are always ready for a snack. 

Caleb and Lena went swimming 

Fishing off the shore with PePa 

Evan and Corey loaded up Cole, Lena and Caleb to go fishing in the boat

The little girls stayed behind and fished with PePa on the pier 

and snacked some more! 

Me and my sweet girl ready to go!

All four of us riding the jet ski 

They went back out, just the boys so they could ride fast.  Ella didn't love the jet ski but Caleb did! 

Caleb was so happy to swim a little while without his swimmy! 

Floating - Caleb, Corey and Logan 

This girl didn't want to swim but she liked sticking her feet in 

We found this little turtle swimming and Logan scooped him right up.  Caleb was SO excited!  We took him out for a little while but then let him go back and swim in the lake :) 

After the girls went to bed, the boys went catfishing with their daddies.   

Sleeping good after a day of playing hard at the lake

 

Mornings at the lake usually start with... 

..some bike riding 

...and some swinging and coffee drinking. 

These kids wanted to ride the boat - lifejackets over their PJs. 

Riding the boat with their daddies 

 Caleb caught a little fish - can you see him holding him?

These two were little fish this weekend - they swam alot! 

 And this cutie just wanted to dip her feet in.
