-Me and Justin have begun having weekly date nights! Hoooray! It has been so fun. We found a wonderful babysitter from our church who watches Rhett during the day and who also babysits both boys for date night. The boys just love her, which is awesome! Anyway, We wake up the morning of and say "DATE NIGHT!" and love trying out different new restaurants and things to do. Since it had been ages since we went out on a date, we have been out of the scene for awhile. So far we have gone out for drinks/to eat at H.alls Chophouse, C.oast, S.outhend Brewery, The G.in Joint, A.ccent on Wine, Oscars, The Grocery, G.raze, and we have also been to see two movies: The Hangover 3 and N.ow you see me. Needless to say, our bank account has taken a bit of a hit :), but it is worth it! We go out from 4:30-7:30 so that we are home in time to bathe both boys and put them to bed.
-Of course with our indulgence in date night, we had to start hitting the gym more, so we have begun getting back to working out. Justin goes about 4-5 times a week and I try to go 3 times/week, although with work being so busy, it has been closer to twice per week. I would like to go 4 times per week, but life/work is keeping me super busy. I have just got to start making it more of a priority. Justin is losing weight quickly, but I am only down .5 lbs of my pre-baby weight. I really need to tone up more, and lets face it-Its only going to get harder to lose the older I get.
-Here are a few pics from Father's Day 2013:
It was a nice day and we made Justin breakfast and then spent some time at the outlets. Both boys were a bit uncharacteristically fussy, but overall it was still a nice day for Justin!
-Last week we took the boys to S.plash Zone, which is a waterpark on James Island. It was Rhett's first trip and he loved it! He had so much fun "swimming" in the pool, floating in the lazy river, and watching all of the other kids play. As for Jackson, he was in Heaven! He went on the slides over and over and had a ball. At one point, he went running and jumped right into the deep end of the pool (5 feet) and headed straight for the bottom. Thankfully Justin was 2 steps behind him and pulled him right up. I hope he learned his lesson, although he didnt seem upset by it at all. That boy is fearless! It just reinforced that we have got to get him in swim lessons asap. We tried signing him up at the beginning of the summer, but nothing worked with our schedules. We are signing him up for fall swim lessons and fall soccer as well. Both boys were tuckered out afterwards and Jackson keeps talking about it, so I know he had a ball.
-We finally pinned down our traditional anniversary trip. Of course, both boys come with us, so it had to be somewhere we can all go. We decided on another annual trip to Disney World, and we chose to stay at the Contemporary Resort this time. It is the one with the monorail going through it, and it is super convenient not to have to get the car out. We have made all of our fun dining reservations, and will be at the M.agic Kingdom for 3 whole days! We also have reservations to get Rhett's first haircut at the barber shop on Main St. in the M.agic Kingdom. He will get special Mickey Ears and a certificate. I hope he will look back one day and think that it was a pretty cool place to get a first haircut from!
Stay tuned-working on Rhett's 15month(waaaaay late) and 16 month old blog post, and Jacksons 4 year old post. Have been having all kinds of issues with Blogger :(
