It's official. I have started reading the Twilight series. I borrowed the book from Nichole today. I can't wait to see if it is as good as everyone says it is... I will let ya know!
Brooklyn went to her first day of Kindergarten today...I didn't think I would be emotional about it because it is only two extra days compared to preschool and only 15 min. longer but once I dropped her off at the "big kid school" I must asmit I struggled a little. My girls are growing up so fast and I dont want to miss a moment of it!
This is a pic of me and my BFF Crystal. I got to hang out with her some! We also had a family reunion! This was a good trip. We got to spend time hangin out with family and the girls got to play with cousins. We also got to attend the annual Farmers Day in downtown China Grove! I have not been to that in YEARS. This is a t the Lazy Five Ranch. The girls love going here. You get to feed the animals from your car and there is a place you can walk around and see the animals.
We decided last minute to go to Cali for the 4th. We put a crazy offer in on priceline and it got accepted so off we went! I cant remember the name of the place where we went to see the fireworks but it was by far the best show I had seen to date! It was freaky how close we were!
Well Brooklyn refused to do swim lessons so we found a "swim camp" that was totally diffrent than swim lessons (wink!) It actually was different. Melanie does an amazing job with the kids! My girls loved her and wanted to go again when lesson were finished. Brooklyn graduated to a level 3 and Ava moved up to a level 2! I was so proud of them!
Brooklyn graduated preschool from Kinder Kids Preschool! She absolutely loved it there! She still talks about her teachers all the time and says she misses them and her friends!
We had a great time dyeing easter eggs with friends and family! The girls got more gifts than candy from the easter bunny bacause the easter bunny got tired of Braydon and I eating all of their candy! I am still jealous I dont get to do an easter egg hunt anymore but its worth it seeing how much Brooklyn and Ava enjoy it!
Well, now that I have internet and my camera I can update the people who care about my wonderful life! Yes, I know its been forever since I have updated. I am going to try and start from where I left off. Back in March (I think) we took the girls to Sea World. For some reason they picked that over Disney World but whatever... They had a really great time! Brooklyn loves animals. She said she wants to go there again. Ava said she chooses Disneyland! We went to the beach for a day and played in the sand. Braydon was the only one who got in the water. We went to the place where the seals are and there was a squirrel hangin out so we decided to feed it some of our walnuts. He totally came up to us and started eating it from our hand! The girls got a kick out of it...we all did!
I blog mostly for my family and friends back home in North Carolina. When I inform them that I have a family blog they can look at, I get crazy faces looking back at me. Apparently blogging isn't well known in my neck of da' woods so after explaining what it is they seem pretty excited about it! Hopefully its worth the time I spend on this darn computer! Secondly I do it for my extended family (Braydons family) who live elsewhere also. Lastly I do it for my wonderful friends here in good ol' St. George and the blog stalkers that follow! MUAH!!!

I never said it would be easy. I only said it would be worth it.
