I'm so good at taking pictures and so horrible at blogging!! I always say I will do better but my intentions are stifled by things that always seem more important at the time... And so time swiftly passes. Such is my life with a sassy 7 year old and a busy almost 9 year old. Where does the time go? Why does it pass so swiftly? The older I get the more I want to turn back the clock or at least ask it to slow down! My precious babies, who are babies no more, have gotten to the age of complete and utter FUN! We had so much fun this summer! We started our summer with a trip to KY for a meet halfway family get together with marks family! Those Yanks are a hoot! Fun day on the lake on a pontoon boat with slide attached... Let's just say there were some pasty folks on the water that day! Those northerners need some sun once and a while! I looked native American next to those white bellies! Lol Great memories! Next was a well earned mommy and daddy trip! We've never left the kids for any length of time so we were nervous but after ten years of marriage we felt it was time! So mark and I jetted off to Vegas for a weekend to celebrate our 10 year anniversary! We had so much fun! I felt like we were dating again and we enjoyed our alone time! Of course at our nice anniversary dinner we talked of our beautiful babies and how we cant imagine life any other way. We enjoyed an awesome comedy show, ate, hung out at the pool, ate, shopped, ate, and saw the cirque du soliel LOVE show, and ate some more! We gained at least 5 lbs and won nothing at the tables. It was so nice to enjoy each other even after ten years married and 12 years together! I have the best husband in the world! And so time swiftly passes. On our last summer adventure we flew to visit family in Florida in july and decided to take a side trip to universal studios and islands of adventure. While some may say Florida theme park in july? We say,"No biggie!! " I might add we had our reservations but those were quickly put aside when we saw the faces of our sweet kids! 8 hours at islands of adventure and not one melt down, fight, or even whining! It was a day to remember! Harry potter being our hero... Islands of adventure was everything Harry! All the way down to the butter beer! We had every ride but Harry potter was done twice even with the hour wait... No express passes on Harry! But totally worth the wait both times! A fun trip with great memories! Our kids are such great travelers and I foresee many new adventures ahead! And time swiftly passes. And so the summer closed and a new school year started. Jake is in 3rd grade and Emma is in second and all that those grades in compass! Along with that comes baseball for jake, who got his first degree black belt in taekwondo this july. With basketball and scouts to follow. Emma is back hard at ballet, jazz and tumbling. Shes working hard to do her back handspring and becoming such a graceful dancer. Marks product was FDA approved early this year and he's working like a dog to get it in every hospital as a standard of care. I'm so proud of him and his determination! There have been many days I wanted him to throw in the towel and move on but he's rock solid as usual and keeps on rockin! And so time swiftly passes! I'm PTO secretary at school and boy is that a time consuming job! Yes I said job! Of course I don't get paid in money but I do get to see my babies at school a lot...Payment enough! I get to eat lunch with them every week! Payment enough! I get to go on all field trips, stay home when they are sick, and run their lunch to school when they leave it in the car. Payment enough! I feel so blessed to have had all these moments with them! Thanks mark! And time swiftly passes! So for Emma's 7th birthday my friend Emily and I devised a plan to surprise our girls. Natalie, Emma's friend and Emily's little girl, are the same age. And Girly girls to boot! Although, having their brothers has made them quite tough...don't let the sequence fool ya! We got tickets to the taylor swift concert in Nashville for last weekend(sept 17), only hitch was we didn't tell them all summer and finally told them the day of at lunch! Needless to say it was the best surprise to date for them! They know all the words to every song so of course so do we! We had the best time ever! Best thing about Nashville concerts is you just don't know who might stop by... Kenny chesney sang, Tim MaGraw sang, and even Andy grammar sang. That was along with two openers and of course taylor! Great fun and clean show! And time swiftly passes! So many momentous occasions, so many memories! So I'll say it again that I'm going to be better and just write/blog as I can and hopefully this time I'll do it before more time swiftly passes....more pics to follow of universal trip! That's Emma with her lamb from lamb camp 2011... Post to follow!
