Where has the time gone??

Our poor poor blog has had no attention for so long...so I decided it is time to start updating on it again!! Yay! I know you're all as excited as I am right!?!?!!

Okay, so since March...yes the last time I posted was in March....we have had a pre-school graduation, taken the girls to their 1st live concert(well 1st one they can remember), enjoyed summer, tried to stay cool this summer, started school back up and just enjoyed spending tons of family time together!


In May we finished up school and celebrated by having a graduation party for Haley! She is officially a Kindergartener....wow I can't believe she is already school age...it seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital.



Emily still has one year left before I start Kindergarten work with her, so she got to just have an end of school celebration, but she enjoyed it either way!



This summer we have visited the pool....a BUNCH because it has been sooooooo very HOT in Texas!! We went to family reunion, took a family vacation to Tyler and prepped for the upcoming school year. This year for school, the girls got desks....real school desks so they are LOVING it!!

Also KLOVE (for those who don't know...it's a Christian radio station broadcast all over the US), put on a free...yes you read that right FREE concert!!! So it being free you can bet we were there! Travis was on-call that night so unfortunately he couldn't go, but I took the girls and they LOVED it!! We went to see Buildng 429...we also bought a shirt and a copy of their Listen to the Sound CD...the girls LOVE their music and all their songs. Being as how we bought stuff we got special VIP passes to attend the meet and greet with the band and because we were some of the last ones in the room, we got to sit on the floor right near the band's feet. The girls just thought that was the coolest thing ever!!




The girls also had their end of the year dance and gymnastics recital. Haley's dance team did a ballet and tap dance routine...they were soooo cute! In Emily's gymnastics class only her and one other girl signed up to participate in the recital but she had fun anyway...she was a bit nervous, but still had fun. At the end of the recital each child was awarded with a medal...I think that was all the kids favorite part of the day! I was very proud of both of them!!










Now we have started school again and the girls are loving it! We are looking forward to dance and gymnastics starting back up again...we took a break from them this summer. Haley will be starting Girl Scouts....yay!! Emily is finishing her last year of preschool work and Haley is starting Kindergarten and we'll have a double graduation ceremony in the Spring. I'll keep you updated more often!

Have a super day!
