Just An Ordinary Friday!

Friday was a really fun day around here!  We started out our day by being horribly late to our last meeting of MOPS!  There were poop and mucous issues that prevented us from leaving on time!  I was sad that it was our last day of MOPS, but I plan on going back in the fall.  I hope to see a lot of the same faces then.

When we got out to the car after our meeting, what did I find in my car?!  Why, it was a precious note from my wonderful husband.  He had driven over there and stashed it away in my car so I would see it after the meeting!  I was so surprised and his sweet words about our lives together the last few years brought tears to my eyes. 

You may think you've got the world's best husband, but I assure you, you don't!  I do!

Next, we came home and ate lunch.  Matthew tried pears for the first time.  Although, it was Gerber pears, I did buy a huge bag of pears from the store last night.  I hope he likes homemade pears as much as Gerber pears!

I am also loving my new Nuby baby feeding spoon.  We have other spoons, but something about the subtle curve of this one makes it so easy to feed Matthew.  I love it!

As you can see, Matthew is probably going to get a crick in his neck by always turning to watch John Michael.  He loves to watch him and he will usually laugh and laugh at him.  Sometimes Matthew will start cracking up when John Michael starts screaming or crying.  That's not very nice at all!

We always have a good time eating breakfast or lunch together.  I have figured out that second babies have an advantage over the first babies: there's always something to look at and something to keep them entertained.  Matthew never tires of watching John Michael.  I know he already loves him so and John Michael has been super sweet about bringing specific toys to Matthew for him to play with.  Love it!

After a long nap we got Matthew's shots and then headed over to Jordan's company picnic.  Every year they have a huge outdoor family event with catered food, music, and this year there were TONS of bouncy houses to jump and play in!

We ran into one of the biggest Bama fans we know, (besides our own family) my brother's fraternity brother, Jeff, his wife, and their new little one, Trent!   I guess you can tell they're big Bama fans because Jeff and Trent are both sporting Bama gear months away from football season!

We ate yummy BBQ inside the big tents.  The ground was soaked and my shoes and chair sank into the ground!  John Michael tried pasta salad for the first time and he loooooved it!  I had to go back for more!

After we ate I got in line for funnel cakes and lemonade with baby Matthew.  We kept each other entertained while Jordan and John Michael went and got in line for the bounce house!

John Michael got to try his first funnel cake and it would be an understatement to say that he really, really, really liked it.  The boy knows he likes sweet fried dough!

Baby Matthew was super smiley and happy the whole time!  I know his hat doesn't match his stripey outfit but it was all I could find in the car.  I also put sunscreen on him for the first time.

The lemonade was nice and cool!

Matthew got a little thirsty out in the heat, so he decided he wanted some of Jordan's water.  He reached and reached until we gave in!

He reaches for our cups and plates all the time.  He can drink out of a regular cup pretty well!

Everyone had a good time!  I wish they had kept the picnic open later but they closed it at 7.  Both boys were tired and Matthew fell asleep immediately upon getting back in the car.  He slept the whole night through, until 7 am which is really weird for him...or else I was too passed out from having to go to Wal-Mart after all this and I just didn't hear him wake up!
