Today I wanted to spend the day with Jordyn. We went to see Bianca to have our hair done. Jordyn and I both got short hair styles. Then, we went to Beaners Coffee. Jordyn looks so grown up with her new sassy hair do. She was in heaven ordering at the Coffee shop. I think she enjoyed the time alone with me. We had to run to Wal-mart after that to get some bottled water and snacks for our trip home next weekend.

Parker is still running a fever. We spoke with his pediatrician today and she is going to meet us at her office tomorrow if he is still running such a high fever. We love her so much. She is so caring and doesn't want us to have to go to the ER over the weekend. We are giving him Motrin and she is waiting for us to call her back in the morning.

Normally on Fridays we have Family Movie Night. Tonight Jeremiah is working from 7-9pm so we just brought home Subway and Preston is watching Pete's Dragon, my favorite movie when I was his age. Jordyn is next door showing off her new hair cut to Chas and Nancy. Parker is already sleeping.

Love,Tracy

We spent a couple of hours at the JumpZone in Buford today. Jeremiah went with us and he had just as much fun as the kids! Our neighbors daughter, Katelyn, and her grandma, Becki, followed us there. Katelyn's mom is have a baby today so we were trying to keep Katelyn busy!

We spent the 4th doing all sorts of fun activities. We started off the day at the Braselton parade and then went to the little festival that was in town. We came home for lunch and then went to the Mixon's to swim. While we were there we met the sweetest family and the kids all had a great time playing together. In the evening we parked at Progessive Lighting and set up camp in the field to watch the fireworks from Chateu Elan. It was a little too far away to see them very well, but Preston still enjoyed them so much.

Parker Reese is running a fever tonight so say a little prayer for him. He has been running fevers on and off. We think it is just his teeth, but he doesn't want a moment without his mommy. Jeremiah and Jordyn try to help out with him, but he wants to cuddle with his mommy. Hopefully a day of rest tomorrow will help him to feel better.

Love,
Tracy

Last night we were invited to go to a Fourth of July party by our neighbors Lesley and Jason. We had our boys, Jordyn and our neighbor Alexis with us. They all fit right in. There were tons of kids and they had a blast. There was a bounce house, water guns and water balloons. Jordyn got soaked so we didn't stay for the fireworks.

On Saturday Jordyn took a CPR and babysitting certification class. She had such a great time and came home ready to babysit. She is always good at quickly making new friends. She has been begging Jeremiah and I to go out so she can watch the boys. She's been helping out more with Parker's diapers and playing with Preston.

After church this morning, I took Jordyn, Preston and Parker Reese to Commerce. Jeremiah had to work so we went to the Tanger Outlet since Jordyn had birthday money to spend. We visited all of her favorite stores. While I was watching moms shop with their daughters I thought to myself that God knew exactly what he was doing when he blessed me with two sons! We left just in time to avoid getting drenched by the afternoon storm. However, it was raining so bad on the way home that we had to pull into a neighborhood for a while because we couldn't see the road. We made it home safe and now both of the boys are napping. Jordyn is spending time with our neighbor, Alexis, because they are leaving for Florida in the morning.

I'm so thankful for the special time that I have off work to spend with the boys, Jeremiah and Jordyn. I don't know what this week will bring, but I'm sure we will fill up our time with fun activities. I'll be sure to post our outings on the blog.
