"US" Time

Tomorrow is my last day of school for my students. Then Addison and I have 2 more days of post planning and then it's FREEDOM for 2 whole months (8 weeks)!!! Don't get me wrong...I love teaching and my adorable students, but I love my summers off!

Let's see, what are we going to do??? Well, we'll have a visit to my sister's in Jacksonville (which includes getting to welcome a new niece or nephew to the family, but not my sister's...my brother's fourth child), a visit from her and my adorable nieces and nephew here at our house, a couple days in Atlanta while Neil is out of school (hoping to go to the aquarium and Stone Mountain), a couple of visits with my parents (along with a beach trip), at least a weekend in Willacoochee with Neil's parents and family, we'll have a visit with Neil's sister and her husband and our nieces and nephews, which we enjoy the water park, I do have to set up my "new" classroom :( (but I get to be with my two best friends who are across the hall, so I shouldn't complain and I'll be recruiting, begging, and pleading for anybody who wants to help), lots of craft projects and "to do" things that I want to get to (which includes painting a couple of rooms and going through closets), back to serious potty training, and lots of pool time, friend time, shopping time and really anything as long as it involves the two of us...together time!!! I can't wait until Friday, so I can get started on my list and enjoy being a stay at home mommy for 2 months!!!

Families Can Be Together Forever

We were fortunate enough to get to go to Atlanta this past weekend to share an important day with our friends, the Hodges. Their family was sealed in the Atlanta temple this past weekend. It was a long awaited day for this family and we felt so blessed to get to be apart of it. Nicole and I teach together and work in Young Womens together, so it was great to get to share in their special day! Their girls are just precious! It was truly an answer to many prayers sent up above! Thanks for letting us be there, we love you guys!

I was also excited to get a family picture of us. Of course, we have to have some shots of Addison.

This is what you get when you tell her to say "Cheese"

Water Day

Addison had water day at school the other day. We had the swimsuit, put on the sunglasses, put on the sunscreen and were ready for the water, except she didn't want anything to do with the water...but I guess not when you have free reins to the tricycles while the big kids are busy playing in the water!

We learned something new...Addison takes after her daddy, she loves WATERMELON! She ate almost the whole piece. Looks like we'll be eating lots of watermelon this summer!!!
