I'm not sure if anyone really follows anymore since I haven't done a lot of updating lately...but, I thought I'd let anyone out there know that I just did a bunch of posts and backdated them to when they happened...pretty much all from June. You'll see a couple inbetween that I actually did post (from my phone), but if you go back to the beginning of June, you'll see a number of new ones too! :)
All is well here...it's been a fun and busy summer. Between a few weekend trips, a beach trip, soccer camp, two kindergarten camps, lots of Little Gym camp, dance class, karate class, swimming, and Mother's Day Out...we've stayed busy this summer!
We are looking forward to the new school year!

The beach trip
The beach trip was almost a month ago now, but we've been having too much fun this summer and I haven't sat down and organized all of my pictures until now! We went to a great resort style place in Florida that was right on the beach, but also had pools. One of which I posted a lot of pictures below because it was PERFECT! The water was only about 8-10 inches deep, so I didn't feel as stressed with 3 kids who need to either be assisted or watched like a hawk!
Pretty much every day was: Wake up, go to the beach, go to the pools, eat lunch, nap. Go back out to the beach, then back to the pools, dinner, bed.
My friend goes to this resort almost every year and asked if we'd be interested in joining their family. They have a 7 year old boy, almost 5 year old girl, and almost 2 year old boy. They also brought their 3 nieces to help, since they are teenagers. Everyone had a great time together and it was a perfect vacation!

Stabilizers are gone
He's been asking for a while, so we finally took off Brookston's training wheels. The kids like to call them stabilizers, thanks to their favorite TV show, "Pep.pa Pig". So...we tried it. I personally think he did really well. Obviously we need to keep practicing, but he did great...and really enjoyed himself!

Just a weekend trip
We joined Uncle Lloyd, Aunt Sarah and Hailey for a weekend in Houston to visit Nana and Pops. On Saturday we FINALLY (after years of talking about going) visited Kem.ah Boardwalk and had a fun, hot day out there!

VBS Week
We had a fun and busy week at VBS! Mommy worked with the preschool kids (3, 4 and 5 year olds) doing games, which meant that all of the kiddos got to participate! Brookston and Kaisley did the full VBS, while Sutton was able to play in the baby room with all of his friends!

My friend that was working in Sutton's classroom sent me this picture. She said he was hilarious as he talked to this zebra! I crack up every time I see this picture!

Very small update
We celebrated a 5th birthday! Brookston very specifically requested an airplane to look like one of his model planes, but it needed to be white in the middle, with purple and yellow wings. Then, he wanted spaceship toys to be next to his airplane cake! You got it buddy! He even came home explaining to me where some circles, lines, and so on should go! :)
We've been playing soccer and loving this season...a rare chance for both kids on the same team. The team is for 3-4 year olds, with the season starting in March. Well, Kaisley turned 3 just in time and Brookston was still 4! YAY!
Kaisley in front and center, holding the ball. Brookston is in the back, 2nd from the right.
And we haev a pre-school graduate!!!

School's show
Today', Brookston's school did a performance of "The Very Hun.gry Caterpillar". He was the caterpillar!
Sorry about a few times where I wasn't actually on him with the video, I was working 2 at the same time! :)

Blog Break
Looks like 2012 just may be a little break for me in the blogging world. I'm just not into it these days...maybe I'll resume again at some point...as for now, my blogging days may be a rare occasion!
I hope everyone is doing well!
