Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th! These are some pictures I took of the kids this morning sporting their American Pride cloths. There is one of lizzy with the head band in that was taken yesterday but I thought it was so cute I would throw it in.

MYRTLE BEACH

Well we had a blast a the beach this past week. The kids had so much fun at the beach and playing with their cousins. We all got to do something we love to do, the boys went golfing 3 times, the kids played at the beach, pool and mini golfing, and the girls went shopping one day and got a pedicure one day with Caty-lynne. It was her first and she loved it. It was so much fun watching her facial expressions when they would scrub her feet or do something new she had never had done before. We had a great week, Big Thanks to Nana and Granddad for taking us. Here are a few pictures from the week.

Well I thought I would share some pictures we have taken this month of the kids. This month has gone by so fast, I can't believe it will be june tomorrow. Caty-lynne finished school last week and Bri will finish on the 8th. The weather here has been great. We have been going to the pool and the kids love that. Lizzy has no fear of the water at all. She will walk out until she is completely covered by the water. So you have to keep a close watch on her or go in the baby pool with her so she is locked in by a gate and the water is only up to her knees. That is about all that is going on here. We are really looking forward to going to the beach in 3 weeks. Hope you all enjoy!

Soccer

Well Bri had his last soccer game last night. He did great, he scored 2 of the 3 goals his team made. He has been playing since the beginning of March and this is the first game I actually took the camera too. Caty-lynne's last game is on Sat. and I have no pictures of her either but I will take some on Sat. She is the all star of the team, she has been making between 5- 8 goals a game and is doing great. She always brags to Bri about how many more goals she makes so then I have to remind Bri that he has a goalie and Caty-lynne does not. Anyway they both had a great season and are very aggressive on the soccer field, which is great. They will both start back up in the fall. Bri is looking forward to starting flag football in the fall as well. That should be fun to watch!

Turning Loose Mother Goose

Bri had his school play today and he did great. He had a speaking part, where he talked about kindness and then he was peter from peter peter pumkin eater. Hid did a great job and look pretty cute in his overalls. Here are a few pictures from today. enjoy

Our Newest Family Member

Well on Friday afternoon we went to go and pick strawberries but could not find the place but did find the pound and all of those who know Lizzy knows how much she loves dogs. So we pulled in to let Lizzy see all the dogs. As we were pulling in Brian said to Bri, hey should we take lizzy to the dog pound and Bri said no b/c he did not want us to leave her there. Once we assured him it was to take her to see the dogs he agreed. So we go in just to look and we did and nothing sparked our interest until we reached the puppy room. We all fell in love and ended up bringing him home with us. As we were pulling out I looked at Brian and said what in the crap did I just agree to. He laughed and was so excited to have a dog, since he has wanted one since we got married 8 years ago. Anyway this is Samson our newest addition.

He is a very sweet dog and mostly stays in our backyard playing all day. He sleeps in the garage and does very well. The kids love him and play with him tons. He is a Lab mix, the mother was lab but we do not know what the mix is. He is 7 weeks old and very cute.

It's Potty Time

Well about a week ago a decided to start potting training Lizzy, yes some might think I am crazy and you would be right. She is only 18 months but her sister was potty trained at 18 months in three days!! Lets just say she is not her sister but she is not doing that bad. The last day she seems to be getting the hang of it. We will see and I am sure she will get better with time. Today was a big day b/c she told the ladies at the gym day care when she needed to go pee. This is big b/c most of the time I am just taking her rather than her telling me. This is a picture of her after she had been in the bathroom with her dad and wanted him to all these bows in her hair. She is growing up so fast, I can't believe I have no kids in diapers anymore.

Here are a few pictures of the kids on Easter. This is Caty-lynne trying to look like a bunny. The others are on easter morning and at our easter egg hunt. We had a great time. Brian had to work the all weekend so the kids and I went to my parents house in Greensboro. Hope everyone had a great Easter.

Happy 6th Birthday Bri

Well today is Bri's b-day and I can't believe he is six years old. Some days it seems like yesterday he was born, boy does time fly by. So last night he had his party b/c Daddy has to work tonight. He had a great time and got tons of great gifts. The day started off with rain, which was a little upsetting since we planned on a outside party. By 1:oo the rain stopped and the sun came out and dried everything up. The kids played soccer in the back with his new soccer goal we gave him and basketball in the front. They had a blast. Happy Birthday Bri we love you.

The Kids

Just thought I would post a few pictures of the kids. We have been having great weather the last few weeks so there has been lots of play time outside. Lizzy has starting wearing pigtails and she looks so cute in them. Every time we go out someone stops to tell us how cute the pigtails look on her.

Just thought I would share this great picture of Brian playing with the kids in.
If you click on the picture below you will see a video of Bri and Lizzy. Enjoy
