BLOGGER TEMPLATES AND TWITTER BACKGROUNDS

one of those too

I love reading other people's blogs and I admit that I become slightly annoyed when I hop over to their blog and find it hasn't been updated for like MONTHS!  Well, after doing just that I realized on the list of blogs they follow there was mine stating it had been over two months since I last updated mine.  So here comes the shortened, super condensed version of our last two months...there is an abundance of pictures so be prepared!

Baseball continued through June

She participated in her spring recital with grandparents present.

He celebrated father's day with doodle going to the doctor (strep throat).

Doodle took swim lessons and had one of the girls that mom watched as his teacher

Honey had a birthday and we celebrated with her, of course!

 Wrigley field was on the summer to do list and the Cubs lost once again

We took the kids to navy pier.  Ask swee about his experience there some time.

His baseball season finished up and he was bummed to have it over.

I got a new ride.  After 13 years together the Expedition threw in the towel.  I am now the PROUD driver of a minivan.  Never thought I would be saying that phrase.

We traveled to Virginia Beach to watch Priss dance at Nationals.  Her dances did very well and she had a lot of fun.  VB is not going to be a place we must visit again.  Way, way, way to crowded on the beaches for us.

He learned to boogie board.  Enjoyed it and was very good at it.

The sand didn't bother her in the least.  She ate sand, sat in the stroller, and chewed on toys. Oh, she also decided to walk while we were with the grandmas and a grandpa.  Show-off!!

He loved playing in the sand and having Jason hold him while they jumped the waves.  There were some HUGE waves in the Atlantic!

 She is not beach girl but would rather have a pool and get to go shelling.  I guess she really is my daughter.
 We went as a family to the Orlando Temple grounds and took my Mom along.  The kids love going to see the temples where we travel and I love getting to see them light up when they catch a glimpse of Moroni on the spire.
The hubby with his parents and older brother.  I love that we get to have vacations with his entire family.  Thanks for putting up with our 4 crazy kids and wanting to do it again before it is even over.

She got a makeover at the Bibbidi Boddidi Boutique in Downtown Disney.
Her final one.

Picture with the castle...a must...Doodle not looking at the camera...always!


He wanted Goofy ears instead of Mickey.
She got Minnie.

The pirates joined our crazy crew thanks to the Pirate League at Pirates of the Caribbean.  Uncle B is always game for some fun.  When he closed his eyes it looked like he was still looking at you...errie (sp).

Doodle's first roller coaster....loved it so much! Had his hands up in the air.


Fireworks over Cinderella's castle.
Blankets...check, one awake and one asleep...check.  Beetle had already taken two naps throughout the day so it was Doodle's turn for some shut eye.
 
Since getting home the middle of July we have...sent Jason back to work, found out teachers for 5th and 1st grades, bought school supplies, had company visit (Jason's mom, brother and grandfather), learned how to make homemade applesauce thanks to Jason's brother, celebrated a double digit birthday with family...not the actual birthday yet and hung out at the pool.  Oh, yeah, Swee got braces.  Now we have two kids in braces and probably will for several years now.  Growing up is for the birds but as my Mom says...it beats the alternative!!
