Surprise Pappy!!!

Tonight we had a party to celebrate Pappy (Jon's dad's) birthday. It was a surprise, which the kids really enjoyed. We all screamed HAPPY BIRTHDAY as he walked in the door. After that we ate two delicious cakes. Oh yeah...and we all wore our favorite sports attire. We had a great time. Happy Birthday Pappy!!

Take Me Out To The Ball Game~

Softball has officially started back! Tonight was the first game of the season. Taylor is playing for the Wildcats! This will be her 4th season playing, and 2nd season at first base. This will keep us busy EVERY weekend for the next two months. However, we all really enjoy it. Tonight Taylor was up to bat three times and scored on all three! Too bad the team couldn't pull off a win. They had fun and I guess that's what counts.(to the kids at least)~ We will try again on Saturday!

TGIF!!! (pause the music at the bottom) too funny!

Happy 21st Birthday Aunt Lindsey

Saturday night we celebrated Lindsey's birthday. She turned the BIG 21! We celebrated by having her favorites Macaroni & Cheese, chicken and hot dogs. Oh yeah...and a yummy ice cream Oreo cake! We had a great time. Happy Birthday Lindsey!

First Week of Preschool~

This was the first week of school for Madison & Ashley. They are going to Pleasant Plains Preschool on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So far the week has been GREAT! They love their teacher's Mrs. Jennifer and Mrs. Mary. I love peeking in on them and just watching them play. Ashley seems to be more social, meeting lots of new friends. Madison does her own thing and just yells at Ashley for ignoring her! This morning she made Ashley "promise to play with her." It is so fun to watch their different personalities as they grow into sweet little girls. I am looking forward to a wonderful year ahead!

Bling Bling....Ashley and Maddie have earrings!

Monday was a exciting day for Madison and Ashley. We went shopping and thanks to aunt Ali she talked me into getting the girls ears pierced! I explained to them that it would hurt ~ but by that point Madison already had her mind made she was "getting those purple earrings." I have to say the girls did GREAT! Not even a single tear! Ashley got pink earrings and Madison got purple. This will help everyone tell them apart....at least for the next 6 weeks!

Labor Day Weekend!!

This past weekend we decided to go to Charleston to visit Zak and Alison. We stayed busy the entire weekend. When we got there Friday night, Zak and Ali had already been to the store to pick up the girls some "entertainment goodies". They had markers, crayons, coloring books and a new movie! It was like Christmas in August! Saturday we all wanted to go to the beach. The girls have not been all Summer. We left early and got a great spot on Folly beach. The girls LOVED the ocean. Lucky for them, so did Zak and Ali. (Jon and I aren't too big at getting in the ocean) They played for hours. Well at least until Zak got stung by a jellyfish. After that we decided to just go back and hang out by the pool.




Sunday we thought we would just do it all over again. We got up, went to the beach but it was soooo windy we left after an hour. Once again we decided on the pool. Sunday night we went and played a competitive game of putt putt. (Zak was the big winner)




Monday was our last day. Jon, Taylor and Zak got up at 6:30 to go fishing. They caught some BIG fish. Meanwhile, Alison and I took the girls shopping. Ashley and Madison had an exciting experience. (It is "so" exciting I am going to post it in a following blog). We finally left late Monday~ very exhausted. We had a great time!
