So the month of June has been pretty busy, but I decided that I just didn't take enough pictures. Probably because I am so far behind on scrapbooking and taking more pictures only makes me even more behind. We did get to celebrate my in-law's 40th anniversary with them on Father's Day by all of us getting together and us kids taking them out to dinner. Seems like I should be inserting a picture here but I completely forgot to bring our camera with us, so no picture!!! I did take a picture of them with their camera, I just need to get a copy of it!! Then the very next day Jeremy and I celebrated our 13th anniversary! We enjoyed a week away in Chicago while the kids spent a week with the grandparents. We heard lots of fun stories from their time with their grandparents. I know they were making memories that will last forever!!! Thanks for keeping the girls, we really appreciate that! Again, no picture of us on our 13th anniversary, because I forgot the camera. My parents...

Since I am so far behind in blogging, I decided the only way to catch up is do a quick review. So here is what all happened in the month of May. I am sure I have lots more pictures I could post, but I just wanted to give you all a quick glimpse so that I can move on and finally be able to cross this off of my list. Sorry but I am a list make and crosser offer. : ) In first grade at the end of the year, the kids learn about the different animal groups. They each have to pick an animal and write a few sentences about their animal and make a habitat and then give a report in front of the class. Here Makayla is giving her report, she did a great job. She choose to write about Whales. Happy Mother's Day........this year my hubby and girls got me a new study Bible, which has been great for reading the Bible through in a year, I have really enjoyed it! For Marissa's birthday this year we decided we would "surprise" her and give her her own bedroom. She knew she was getting...

Makayla decided she would give soccer another try this Spring. She really enjoyed getting out there and playing this time around, unlike when she played last year. Of course maybe some of why she enjoyed playing this time was because she had her daddy for a coach. He really enjoys getting out there and coaching on the girls teams. Although this Spring was a little crazy since he had to travel so much. I love this picture of Makayla because she was sticking out her tongue, which means she was really focusing on that ball! I have tons more pictures of soccer but I am really trying to catch up on my blogging so I only picked a few of my favorites!

Miss Myah was ready for a nap! I think this was before lunch. Of course we left our house that morning very early!! Most of trip we drove in rain. I think once we were in Virginia we finally got a little bit of sunshine. We have driven before through the mountains and I just remember it being so beautiful, so I told Jeremy since we have our new camera I want to do that again so we can stop and take some pictures....... We did get a lot of really nice pictures, but our friends that we were going to stay with, told us that we are crazy for wanting to drive through the mountains. They said they avoid the mountains because someone always gets car sick, well we said no worry, no one got sick before....... We were sure glad to have those sand buckets! We had to make a quick pit stop, cleaned up a little mess and changed an outfit, but after that, we learned from our mistake and everyone got a bucket!!! As soon as we got out of the mountains everyone's tummies finally settled back down, ...

Here are some of the views we had from our balcony. We had a great location and even though we weren't right on the ocean we could still see the ocean from our balcony, it was great! Here is a view of one of the pools in our building. There were a couple of pool in each of the buildings and a lazy river that you could use. The first day we were there, there were actually tornado warnings out. We weren't sure if they were for us or not? We went down to the pool that morning because it didn't look very bad, but it was very windy. Soon after we got back up to our room it started pouring out. It was actually kind of fun to watch the storm clouds roll in! After that, it cleared back up and it was a beautiful day outside!
