24th of July

For the 24th, the kids and I went up to my parents cabin. Lorie and her kids went up as well. We had a really good time! We played on the beach and even rented a jet ski for a couple hours one of the days. I forget how much I enjoy the beach! I think the kids had a great time as well. I hope we'll make it up there a couple more times before school starts! Love you all!

A weekend of fun!

Well, this weekend my kids and I had a lot of fun! We started it off by going to the Hogle Zoo on Friday. I had told Cole we would go to the zoo this summer. He kept asking when we were going to the animal's homes. He had been looking forward to this for awhile. Oh the drive down Cole was very excited to see the elephants


and the alligators.


While there he got excited about the rhinoceros



and the giraffe. Cali was just excited to be somewhere else than home. I really enjoyed the day for the most part. It was kind of sad to see all these animals in closed areas by themselves. Seemed a little lonely. By the end of our day we were all tired and hot...and ready to get home. Cole crashed as soon as we were in the car. Thank goodness! We stayed the night at my friend Angie's so we didn't have to drive all the way home to drive back the next day for a day at Seven Peaks with the cousins!





Seven Peaks was a blast! I'm so glad we got to go! Cali took off from the start and rode slides all day (I couldn't keep track of her, which freaked me out a little)and Cole played to his hearts content in the kiddie pool. Aunt Kim watched Cole for me at times so I could go play with the BIG kids. That was really nice! Thanks Kim!
It was a day of fun in the sun...ALOT of sun. I have the proof on my back in bright pink!
I really enjoyed being with my family and I hope you all know how much I love you!!! I hope this becomes a tradition!

I suck at this...

I haven't been so good at this for a long time. I plan on giving an over view of the last 5 months. We have had some fun events this year. I always think about posting something, I just run out of time. Not really a good excuse, but an excuse none the less. I will start updating one event at a time and I'll post things as they happen. I'll get back on this blogging horse!
Love you all!!!
