a fun-filled weekend...warning: picture overload!!!

we had a wonderful fun-filled weekend!

friday - was the start of our youth rally at church. every year...my friend, anna, and i are over the tshirts. the kids went with me over to the church early to help get ready. gigi picked them up when she got off from work. quinn had a wonderful time running around with his friend, gregory. qualls loved watching them run and playing with his toys.

saturday - we went back to the youth rally in the morning. i took quinn down to the day school (they provide "fun" activities for the kiddos)...i hardly ever leave quinn anywhere. he pretty much goes everywhere with me (which i love) but i decided that i needed to leave him for a while to get him ready for day school in the fall (really...just test the water). i snuck out and told lori, the teacher and friend, to call me if he got upset. i hardly got into the other building when she called. oh me! this was not starting out well...she said that he was not crying loudly...just really sobbing quietly...saying that he wanted his momma. you mothers know...that is killer!!! sobbing...quietly...asking for momma...gets me every time!!! so, i walk back down there...briskly...and they catch me before i get in the door and say he had calmed down. he was sitting with the director of the day school (which is a good thing that ms. sue can calm him down) and eating goldfish. so, i left him for about another hour before qualls and i went to get him to go home. when i walked in...he was painting his rocks for his "slingshot". they had been learning about david and goliath. quinn seemed to be having a good time till he saw me...from then on...i couldn't get out of his sight much but he had a great time! i say...pretty good for the first time!!!

quinn painting his "rocks". he was so cute in his little painting smock.

quinn's friend, gregory, was also enjoying the fun at the day school

after painting...they went outside to play! quinn LOVES to run!!!

and he is off again...

later on that evening, my parents went with us to the mall to get quinn some new shoes. he had outgrown every pair that we had but we got stocked up!!! at the mall, the kiddos rode the carousel with gigi and pops. quinn loves the "horse".

standing in line to buy tickets...notice qualls' face. he loves all the lights!!!

a little yum yum and wally world...

today, the boys and i had lunch with my friend, tonya, and one of her daughters, kinlee. tonya is one of my friends from back in the day. i love her!!! we ate at the junkyard dog (a fav here in the ole' town). we had a great time!!!

tonya and kinlee

the quinn man

the qualls man

kinlee sticking her tongue out at qualls! so funny!

kinlee playing peek a boo with quinn...quinn was doing the same thing on the other side of the table!

after lunch, the boys and i ventured to wal-mart. this might sound funny to some...but this was the first time that qualls has ever been to wal-mart! ha! i know he is almost 6 months old but it was something that i just had not tried yet. i usually do my shopping when jq is off or when my mom can watch them. first off...you can't get much in the shopping cart with a carseat and diaper bag in there. so, we pretty much needed the necessities!!! of course, i had to take a picture...and who better with?!? my sweet grandmother!!! she works at wal-mart and can run circles around all of the youngins' out there!!!

qualls with granny...or as the great grandkids call her memaw...or as quinn calls her mommaw

with both the kiddos!

such a sweet picture!!!

"lets hear it for the boys"...

today...the boys and i had lunch with jenny, jacob, mew, william and matthew. you can say...that we definitely have enough boys between us! we love it though! jacob is much older than the little ones but he is soooo great with them! quinn has been talking about "yacob" since we got home. jacob is going to be a great example (and babysitter) for our boys to look up to later down the road...no pressure, jacob?!? quinn also loved seeing william and qualls loved seeing matthew!!! i definitely see these boys being big friends in the future. william is 4 months older than quinn and matthew is 2 months older than qualls (almost to the day). they are going to have so much fun growing up together!!!

sweet william...he has the sweetest smile!!!

qualls hanging out in his carseat (he just woke up from his nap)
