Before you read my next post....

let me just say that I am totally annoyed with Blogger. I just spent 2 hours getting this post right. Getting all the pictures uploaded and them spaced evenly and then I post it and all the pictures are totally messed up. It is now 12:30 in the morning here and I am tired and ready for bed so the post will just have to stay the way it is!

Florida, California, Elizabeth's Georgia wedding reception, slip-n-slide and swim lessons

So I totally realize that if I would blog more often then I wouldn't have to spend a couple hours one night uploading 47 pictures at one time! We'll see what happens. So here is an update of our last 2 1/2 months. It really should start with April but it is backwards. Oh well.









The last 2 weeks we have spent almost everyday at the pool because Bryan was taking swim lessons. The first lesson went ok but Bryan said he didn't like it. So I thought the 2 weeks were not going to be fun and a waste of time! Well, the 2nd day he surprised me and did really well. After 8 sessions, this proud Mama can say that he is swimming and loving it! The last day he told me that he didn't need his floaty anymore and that Jenna could have it.



































We got Bryan a slip-n-slide. He was very excited and keeps telling his friends that they need to come play on it (which will be happening in a couple days). Jenna doesn't really like to slide on it, she like to sit at the end where the puddle is.

























The next few are from Elizabeth's (Aaron's sister) Georgia wedding reception. Uncle Bradley and Jenna below. She hung out with him a lot that night!











At the end of the night I took off my shoes and Jenna found them. Of course she had to put them on!








Aaron and Elizabeth. She was beautiful!
























































The next few pictures are from our trip to California.










David was helping them put together a puzzle.

















Jenna was helping Daddy with the dishes.

















We spent many hours in the backyard by the pool. It was awesome!!












Bryan had to climb to the top of the rock waterfall.



















Girls night at our favorite mexican restaurant.






We got to California the day before Jenna's 2nd birthday and Keri's was on April 14th, so we had a celebration for both of them! It was soooo much fun.









































































































































































































































































































































Finally, we end this blog post with the start of our adventure in Florida the beginning of April.


We went and fed the alligators.

This one is for you Kate....

My dear friend Katie pointed out to me that I have not posted in a quite a while (which tends to happen with me), so here we go. Lots of pictures to get updated! A couple weeks ago we went to "Touch a Truck". It is in downtown Kennesaw and there are all kinds of trucks and different vehicles that the kids can climb on and get inside. The firetruck was a big hit with our kids.




Back at the end of January we drove to Texas to visit my brother Bryan and his wife Katy. Aaron and my brother work for the same company and they are able to work from home a lot so we spent the week with them and Aaron and Bryan worked at home. My sister Keri also came to visit. We had a blast!!


One day we took the kids to a jumpy place. I only got pictures of the girls, they all had so much fun!!




Bryan and Katy took us to the best barbacue place that I have ever been to!!! They had this statue there as you walk out.


The next few pictures are just random ones from my phone.


The kids LOVE taking baths and they love playing together in the bath.

Bryan was showing me how strong he is!
Jenna thought she would get on my computer while I was away.
Our little girl is getting so big!

Aaron was taking Jenna to bed and he told her to go to her bed. Well she went to a bed but not her bed. She ran right into Bryan's room, climbed in his bed, pulled up the blanket and grabbed his bear. She was ready to go to sleep!
I wish they got along this well all the time!!!

I made this dress below. For my first try I think it turned out pretty well.

There you go Katie. I think that I am good now for another few months.
