Chase and I just got back from the school--he is now registered for Kindergarten--is it wrong that I am so bummed about it!?!? :(

Snip-its

Just a few pics from last weeks adventures.......

We packed a picnic and set out for a covered bridge--to take some engagement pictures of Bekah and Boyd--


While there Jimmy managed to get a HUGE splinter so we had to preform an extraction and bandage him up--all is well that ends well--we had a pretty good time.

And then on Saturday we decided that the time was right to trade our gas guzzlers in and get a more wallet I mean eco-friendly vehicle--we actually got a very good deal on both our trade-ins and the new car.

Good Morning!

I had such a nice morning--after Joe went to work--I got a load of wash in, did the dishes, and set the sprinklers up to water the new grass--just as I turned the water on--Chase woke up and asked for waffles for breakfast--so we made waffles together--he is such a good helper, and absolutely loves to help in the kitchen. Anyway--I have even managed to have time to get some pictures on here and post a little bit--I love it when it is barely 9 in the morning and I already feel like I've accomplished something today.




On a side note--only 2 1/2 weeks until Chase starts Kindergarten--I am feeling both excitement for him and sadness for me--I don't want him to be so big and gone to school already! But he is ready and oh so excited!! We went and did his school shopping last week--an outing that was just him and I--it was so nice to talk and find things just the two of us! I hope that we can make one on one outings less of a rarity but still just as special!

Between the 4th and family visiting--I haven't had much time for blogging--but life should settle down again soon--hopefully--then I will be able to blog pictures and stories--until then....................

BOOTS

I love all the boys in my life--they are so much fun and I am so lucky to be the lady of this house!

This past week we went on a family vacation--we borrowed a trailer from some friends of ours and headed down to Florida--the boys of course were so so so excited to "sweep in da twaiwer" (in fact after we got home they couldn't stop talking about how fun it was to sleep in the trailer, everyone they talked to got to hear about sleeping in the trailer) We left Thursday afternoon and that night we got to Eglin Air Force base and stayed at their camping facilities on base--it was a really nice place to stay and it had showers and laundry and all that good stuff--the trailer luckily had A/C which was really nice, especially with the hot hot weather we are having right now. After we were all set-up we met our friends Kim, Leo, Jenna, Bradley, Jessie, Brandon and Evelyn at a nice seafood restaurant, Habor Docks. We enjoyed our meal there and then headed back to get some sleep--well I stayed up with Joe trying to get his homework done!!!

Friday Joe woke up at about 4 am to go deep sea fishing with the guys and Evelyn--he had to take our car so the boys and I spent the day watching movie, reading books, and just playing in the trailer--the boys loved it--I on the other hand was too hot to really enjoy much of anything--the A/C worked great but a little unit against near 100 degree weather still doesn't make for a cool day! But after Joe got back we headed to the beach for a few hours--the boys LOVED it. Joe will have to tell you about fishing sometime--he said it was fun--and that he caught a rather large fish--I will wait for the pictures to see! We went back to the trailer--showered and all fell asleep by about 9:30--

Saturday we woke up took our time getting ready and about 10 we headed out to St Andrews State Park to meet up with the rest of the gang--plus the Herrman family--we had a great day playing at the beach swimming, splashing, and getting a little crispy in the sun! After which we went to eat at a place called J. Michael's--absolutely delicious!!! It was such a great day--we decided to stay one more night!

Sunday we woke up and got things ready to pack up and head for home--we are so glad that we did have the extra day to be a little lazy about getting back! We decided to take the back roads home and finally made it home about 4 in the afternoon--it was an awesome vacation one I hope to repeat soon!!

And next time I will take more pics--I only have a few pics and one video(that I can't get to download)!

Hee-hEE!
