Gymnastics Girl





Presley started a gymnastics class this summer. We tried this once before when she was 2 1/2 and I thought it was a waste of time and money since she didn't listen to a word anyone said. We also tried dance camp last summer and that was pretty much a disaster too. I think she's finally ready for gymnastics though! She loves it so far. She gets to do all kinds of tricks on the bars, rings, trampoline and mats. These pictures are showing her different beginning and ending postions. She also loves her new suit...and I do too!

Hot Dog!











Our little Chase-man turned 2 this week (althought he insisted that he was 6) and we celebrated with family and friends at our house with a Mickey Mouse party! It is so hard to believe how fast time flies...especially when you're having fun! He is such a sweet blessing in our house and makes us laugh constantly! I know he is only two, but he has become such a little boy in the past few months. He says the funniest things in his deep voice, talking in sentences most of the time, very opinionated and strongwilled (terrible 2's), so into all sports (loves to dunk it, hit it, kick it, etc...), runs fast with his one arm pumping, favorite foods: burritos, sausage biscuits, chicken fries, french fries, Taco Bell, and must have ranch dip! loves Hot Dog (aka Mickey Mouse) the dance and all 70 recorded episodes on demand, I-phone games (saying "Yeah Baby" when he wins), tatteling on sis, attached to silky & OJ, weighs 30 lbs., gets that serious, concentrating face and does a little dance before kicking the ball, says "Boom Baby" when blowing up knuckles, Nana just gave him his first trim around the ears, likes to draw "Hoopty Slides" with sis, loves reading books with daddy before bed, addicted to puzzles... I could go on and on! I don't want to leave a single thing out, but it's so hard to write it all. We are so proud of him and want time to slow down!

Breaking in the new Playset!










The kids have really enjoyed their new swing set and rock pit! They constantly ask if they can go play. They've both got new tricks to show...Chase slides on his bottom and jumps up and says "Ta Da!" Presley likes to hang upside down on the monkey bars. I know they will enjoy this for years to come! A special thanks goes out to Pa and Grandaddy for all their help! We couldn't have done it without them!

The Typhoon Lagoon


We went to Toys R Us yesterday to check out some ideas for Chase for his upcoming birthday. Chase pointed this pool out early on and kept saying "mine"! He loves any sport and was dying to "shoot it"! We put it out early for a test run.

Softball Swimming Party


It was fun to get to hang out with all the girls and their parents outside the softball field! They are such a fun group of girls and we are looking forward to next year!

How many hours does it take...



Scott, Pa and Grandaddy have been working hard to get the kids swing set put together! I know the kids are going to love it when it's all complete!
