At the Carwash!

Saturday, my sweet husband washed and waxed my car. The kids played outside, and then Brylee decided to wash her car, too! Too cute!

Summer Fun!

We are having so much fun this summer! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We went to Meridian on the Fourth to visit my family.
We went to the Spray Grounds with some friends.
We also went to the Children's Hands-on Museum with Erika and her children. We had so much fun!
I am sad to see the summer pass by so quickly!

We're Back!

We had so much fun at Disney World! The kids absolutely LOVED it! They were the best dressed kids at Disney thanks to Jennifer! My sister came with us to help with the kids. She was such a big help! This was my first trip, so I was just as excited as the kids. I am going to try to sum it up through their "eyes" All About Brant's Trip: Brant loved meeting people, except girls. The first 2 days, he wouldn't let any girl character sign his book, but Cinderella's evil step-sister Anastasia signed his book without him knowing. When he found out, he put an "X" on that page. A couple of days later, he decided that Snow White, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Mulan, and Alice could sign. The last day we were there, we had to wait 90 minutes to meet the fairies - Tinker Bell and her friends. He let them sign his book, but he would not go take a picture. Tinker Bell kept playing around with him and teasing him. I guess, he had to be in the right mood to meet female characters?? He absolutely LOVED riding Splash Mountain. I lost track of how many times he rode it. At Hollywood Studios, he was chosen to train to be a Star Wars Jedi and even got to fight Darth Vader! He also got to ask a question to Crush the turtle during "Turtle Talk" and was chosen to play a game show at Epcot! The first two days, Brant showed no fear on rides. The day he rode Expedition Everest with the yeti, scared him, so then he was VERY RELUCTANT to ride any "scary ride". All About Brylee's Trip: Brylee was such a good sport. She couldn't ride every ride we did, but she rode her share. She loved Cinderella's Golden Carousel and the Tea Cups. She also loved the "babies" in It's a Small World ride. She enjoyed meeting the characters - especially the princesses and the fairies. She loved getting wet in the different spray play areas. Brylee also loved eating all the food -especially desserts and ice cream! Brylee participated in most of the block parties. She would get out there and dance with the characters! She also really loved the parades and fireworks. She enjoyed riding the shuttle buses to the parks every day. She really did well in Disney with all the busy action packed days and the late night!

Disney World Countdown!

We will be leaving next Friday and heading to Disney World. We are all so excited! My sister is going with us to help with the kids. Brant is ready to ride all the rides, and Brylee wants to meet the princesses. We have everything just about ready! Thanks to Jenifer, my kids will be dressed to meet Mickey! We will be in Disney for 7 days! I hope we have the best time!!

Swimming Lessons

It is time for swimming lessons again. This is Brant's 4th year taking swimming lessons from Mrs. Pam. He can swim but needs to learn different strokes/techniques. He works really hard in class so he can jump off the diving board after his lessons. He did that both yesterday and today. Brylee, on the other hand, is taking lessons for the first time. She is in the same class with her buddy, Ty. I was worried that she would be scared of the water, but that was not the case. She did great! Both of the kids are doing well. I remember at my swimming lessons when I was little, I was petrified to jump off the diving board without floaties. I am so glad that Brant is not that way! I don't think Brylee will be that way either!

Memorial Day Weekend

We had a great time Memorial Day Weekend. On Friday night, Brant went to his first sleepover/campout. Bryan helped chaperone so Brylee & I enjoyed some girl time. Brylee and I shopped for flipflops (and let me tell you, it is hard trying to find flipflops to fit a 2 year old!). My parents came into town Sunday to visit. We ate tons of great food, thanks to my husband and his grill. Monday, we ate with Bryan's brother and fiance' down at the river. After we left there, the kids just enjoyed playing outside. They rode bicycles, played in the sprinklers, played with chalk, rode their power wheel toys. I also spent a lot of time this weekend watching the Jon & Kate Plus 8 marathon. Bryan said one morning that he felt he woke up in a nightmare. He went to bed watching the show and woke up to the show. I just seem to be so preoccupied with this family right now. I was counting down until the season 5 premiere. I really hope the work out their differences, but it is not looking good.

End of the Year Picnic

Brant's class had an end of the year picnic at Lee Park. I couldn't take off because it was the end of school and there was so much going on. Thankfully, Bryan got to go to Brant's picnic. Brylee had her picnic at the preschool. Mrs. Dee, my mother-in-law, went to hers. (No pictures yet, she took them on her camera. That will be a later post) Brant had so much fun! He enjoyed just playing at the park with his friends and eating his favorite lunch - Lunchables Pizza!
