Happy Memorial Day!

It was another busy weekend at our house, but a nice way to kick off summer.  On Friday, we spent the majority of the day at Boone's 12-month photo session.  Saturday was mostly a day of chores, plus we cooked a nice dinner for us and also for some friends down the street who just had their first baby.  On Sunday, we hit the pool at the YMCA for the first time.  It was opening weekend, and it was Boone's very first time in the Y pool.  He went to the pool tons of times last summer, but since he was a newborn, he was never able to get in the pool.  So the two of us watched Fenn and daddy from the shade.  Anyway, Boone loved it and enjoyed practicing the skills he learned in his swim lessons.  He did pretty good walking around the baby pool, but still needs a little help keeping his balance.  And Fenn loved it, too.  He actually wanted to spend most of his time in the big pool, so he and daddy practiced his swimming skills quite a bit.  The first photo above was taken right after we got the boys out of the pool.  Check out their shriveled up feet!  And here are a few more photos from the afternoon.

And on Monday, we had thought about going hiking.  But it ended up raining for about half the day.  So we went to Waffle House for breakfast and rode around for a while so Boone could get a little cat nap.  Later in the day, I took the boys for a walk while daddy cut the grass.  And then we headed to the backyard to play for a little while before dinner.

For some odd reason, Boone really loves getting on the dog beds.  Here he is on one of the dog beds outside.  {But he also loves climbing up on Petey's bed in our bedroom.  When Petey sees / hears Boone coming, he'll get up and out of the way.  Then he'll sit on the floor staring at Boone as if he's trying to will him off of his bed.}

And Fenn started doing this very strange thing.  He would turn around and lean over while saying, "booty, booty, booty".  And he would giggle with delight afterward.
