Labor Day Weekend

We had a fabulous weekend of fun times with friends! Daddy got to go fishing and hunting and Mommy and Joce spent a ton of time with girlfriends, plus we had some family time together!



Haley and Ella were in town! We have been taking pictures of these girls together since Jocelyn was a newborn in the hospital. Finally, we took a picture of the four of us!


On Saturday we went over for a visit. Ella was super excited to see Jocelyn and gave her lots of hugs. Ella and her parents gave Jocelyn this monkey and a sweet book for her birthday since they won't be able to make it for her party later this month. Jocelyn loves it and already goes to get it when I say, "Go get your monkey!" We also got to visit with them on Sunday when Haley's parents had a cookout.





Next, we stopped by The Lambert's to see our miserably pregnant friend Katie who is due Friday! She was trying to relax by the pool and get her mind off the fact that she wants her baby girl to come RIGHT NOW! Jocelyn is checking out Katie's belly and listenting to Katie say, "Tell your friend to come!"


Saturday night, Jason, Megan, and Drew came by for a visit. Jocelyn is extremely into books and being read to ever since we got new board books handed down from her cousins. Look how sweet to see Bigg Cat reading to Jocelyn! In this book, you stick your fingers through the holes to make the insects' legs move!


On Labor Day, we went to the river bank to fry some fish and play in the water.

Here we are on the boat ride over to the other side of the river. It was a windy ride, so I couldn't get her to look!



She was mesmorized by the waves breaking around her feet! Of course, Mommy couldn't stop taking pictures!

"Look, Mom! I found a stick!"




"Uh Oh! It broke."



"I'll try to put it back together."



"I wrote you a message in the sand, Daddy! Okay, Mommy helped!"









"eewww, what IS this stuff?"



"I'll just wash it off."


Holding onto Daddy's toe for support



"Look over there, Daddy! I see a boat."



Fun in the water with Daddy

Also, over the weekend, Jocelyn peed on the potty twice! I know she is only 11 months old, and I am not trying to potty train her before she is ready. I just know that she needs to go in the morning when she wakes up so I put her up there just to see. I made a shhh noise and she did it! I figure it can't hurt for her to start associating going with sitting on the toilet! She acts proud of herself too. She smiles so big when I sit her on there and she tries to go so maybe she will catch on early!

Okay, seriously. She's SO so so cute! And, I love seeing people I haven't seen in FOREVER by looking at some of your pictures. That's awesome that you have been able to stay in touch with some many friends from HS. Tell Haley, hi for me the next time you see her!
