Nene duty!

I love Nene duty!

Nene duty is when the parents of my sweet babies need a helping hand.

Sean was busy moving one evening and I got to watch Lawson while Britain played her t-ball game and then take both to their swimming lessons.

Britain had a great game! 3 good solid hard hits and two scores. She looks adorable in her uniform.

After t-ball, we raced to swimming lessons.  The kids changed into their swim suits while we inched along in the traffic trying to get out of the ballpark.

After swimming lessons they were starving!  Poppy had hamburgers and mac n cheese ready for us at our house.

This last pictures is one of my favorites.  Britain has a friend, Phoebe, that went to play school with her for quite awhile.  Phoebe moved to another playschool about 6 months ago.  Both girls are playing T-ball.  Phoebe spotted Britain first and came running to her.  They hugged each other for about 30 seconds and then told one another how much they missed the other.  It was really sweet.

Last night, Ryan and Laura had a date.  Nene and Poppy got to keep our sweet Taylor and  Emma Grace for the evening.  Lots of fun!

Nene and Emma Grace.

Taylor does NOT like to have his picture taken - actually, in order to get a picture of him, one must sneak which is very hard, bribe him - pretty hard, or just take what you can get.  Following is the best I could do last night.  Love you Taylor Lee.

Emma Grace loves "outside."  She will say that over and over and over again until she is outside.  So cute.

Look at this pony-tail basket shooting girl.

The menu for the evening was pizza, corn dogs and ice cream!  Hey - Nene and Poppy were in charge - whatever they want....

Please note Poppy and Taylor in the background - those two played the Wii most of the evening.

Look at this little face.  It makes my heart happy!

Emma Grace has added another very active word to her vocabulary - "self."  Which means - let me do it myself.  She tried to put her jammies on "self" - below she has the top on the bottom.  But hey - she did it "self" and that makes me  happy just because it makes her happy.

One last picture.  It wasn't taken last night - it was taken about 4 years ago - back when Taylor let us take his picture.  This was the little face he made when asked to "smile!" 

Now this just makes a Nene's heart happy.

The end.
