VPK

Summer is officially over and school is back in session. We had a great summer and as much as I'm going to miss having Brayden home and having no set schedule, Brayden is ready to jump into his year of VPK. When we first started school at Christ the King he was only two and it seemed like forever before we would be entering the classroom of VPK, but it came up fast and it's here! Some of his friends from last year will be in his class and then he'll also be making lots of new friends. His teachers Ms. Jessica and Ms. Kathy are ready to teach and I can't wait to see all the new things Brayden learns this year. I'm going to soak up the afternoons that he is home because next year is Kindergarten and it will be full days.

CLOSE UPS!

 

 

And we do Ninja Turtles a lot around here.

 

 

An afternoon spent with Daddy at the park.

 

 

Brayden fell asleep watching tv and nicely lined up all his animals to sleep next to him.

 

 

I just love Bransen's long blonde locks. After wetting his hair to comb it I couldn't believe how long it was when he doesn't have the little curls. I don't plan on cutting the back anytime soon, no matter how many people like to refer to him as a girl!

 

 

It's very rare when Brayden takes an afternoon nap.

 

 

Somebody enjoyed pizza night!

 

 

It's always fun to put together the alphabet train puzzle. Brayden puts it all together and Bransen likes to go and pull it all apart, most of the time while Brayden is still completing it!

Summer of 2013

To sum up our summer of 2013 in just a few words: 99% of it was spent in our bathing suits!

Camping with the Waters

When we first started camping back in 2010 and took our first camping adventure to Anastasia Park we happened to have a campsite next to a couple with two little girls. Who would have known that we would stay in touch (thankful to facebook) and end up camping with each other again three years later. And yes we planned this one! Stephanie's friend that she went to high school with also joined us from Georgia along with her husband and six kids!

Now maybe we should have known that camping in July would be hot, but we took the chance and had a great weekend. We had minimal rain except for one Saturday afternoon shower where we all took a nap.

We spent most of Friday setting help and helping the others do the same. Saturday we took a trip to the Tomoka Statue and took a walk along the river. We also ended out trip with a Saturday night Italian feast for all. It will filled with salad, spaghetti, a dutch lasagna and garlic bread!

The kids enjoyed playing with  with each other almost non-stop and the adults enjoyed sometime catching up. We are looking forward to catching a camping trip with the Waters family again soon sometime this fall!

Daddy turns 33

Ian turned 33 and of course we had to celebrate! I think the boys get more excited for celebrating than we do! Brayden could not wait to sing Happy Birthday and most of all eat the cake. The looks on the boys faces show that they all enjoyed Daddy's 33rd birthday celebration!

Visit with the Edmonston's

The boys and I took a mini trip to visit with my friend Emily and her two boys Jackson and Carter. Her boys are right around the same age as Brayden so we figured they would have a blast getting to hang out for a few days and it would give us some girl time. The boys played non-stop, even with one night only getting a few hours of sleep and being up nice and early watching tv. We even made a trip to the park and waterpark while we were there. Brayden even almost tried going on the big slide was there until he stub his toe and came back down.  The boys had a blast spending time together. We were hoping to make it back for one more trip before school started but it never happened.
