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!

Brooklyns 1st day of school

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!

NC Summer Trip

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.

4th of July in Cali!

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!

Miss Melanie's Swim Camp!

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!

Preschool Graduation!

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!

Easter!

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!

Busy, Busy Summer!

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!

Back in Business!!!

Internet: check!
Camera: still looking for....

Congratulations to me! I have the internet again. I can finally get back to blogging. Now I just have to find my flippin' camera!!!

EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Because I live such a fulfilling life(which I do- I am a Mother)! It feels like life is still pretty consistent with the past few months. Not much has changed. Brooklyn will be graduating from pre-school next month! She is getting too big and too smart for her own good! Ava goes on Fridays to school with her and looks forward to it each week. I am trying to decide if I want to put her in pre-school for the next two years or not. Maybe I will just do some work with her at home this coming year... not sure though. I am also trying to decide if I want to start school this summer or waite till next summer when she will be starting pre-school in the fall.

We took a trip to Sea World two weeks ago and the girls loved it! Me... not so much. I am more of a Disneyland girl but there were some interesting things to see and do. The girls loved it and thats all that matters!

I will be posting pictures shortly...

I also have been cooking/baking lately. I have gone through alot of my recipes and my magazines(Southern Living has the best ones) looking for recipes to try or ones that I haven't made in awhile. I made my Red Velvet cake which was a hit! And I made some Cream Cheese Banana Nut Bread. One of the loaves was topped with a peanut butter struessel that was sooo tasty! Next on my list is Pecan Joy Balls(don't worry Nichole and Kristy, I am going to rename them something else)! Then I have the recipe for Bojangle's biscuits and Hardee's biscuits I am going to try. I hope its really the recipe they use! I will let ya know how all of those turn out!
