August Fast Cap

Sorry for the month of August. My parents got home from Portugal, so my normal routine has been a little out of whack but things feel like their getting settled. Jackson started his 2nd year of preschool.

We went to Disney On Ice Saturday. Jackson loved the part with the Cars characters and Lilly loved Minnie and Mickey but for the other hour and a half they were a little restless. I really liked it though. I felt like I was watching the ice skating at the Winter Olympics, kind of.

My Breaking Dawn Post

I went and picked "the book" up on Saturday afternoon and some of us went out to Mimi's Cafe - which has the best muffin's by the way. After a crazy weekend I think I'm actually going to get to start reading it tonight.

Lilly Tidbit

Lilly loves to get her nails painted, loves to hold baby dolls, hold purses, push strollers but due to the fact she has an older brother just 2 years older than her she also loves to pretend she's a superhero.

Busch Gardens

We went to BG with my friend Karen and her kids since they're only here a few more days. I actually had and used my camera! It was pretty overcast and rainy today but we still were able to stay for a long time and do almost everything we like to do (i.e. everything in Dragon Land, see the tigers, and see the bats). It started pouring when we got over to the motorcycles and airplanes which dissappointed a couple little boys but they got over it fast since they were pretty tired themselves.

Jackson and Arden

Lilly cruising, or not. She's gotta learn to keep her eye on the road.

Lilly, again.

Jackson.

Maya(aka "Mayita") and Karen's body (sorry Karen!) and in the background Jackson trying to get away from a crazy little boy who sat squirting little kids, and got the biggest kick out of it, for the whole 20 minutes we were there.

He looked something like this.

If you know who he is can you please tell his parents that he's in the water area of Jungala.

I'm a slacker

I know, I know I've been slacking at blogging. The problem: I haven't taken any pictures. And I didn't want to post without any pictures. But here are some amazing pictures my amazing friend (can I say amazing enough?) Amy took on Fourth of July (which, by the way, was the most fabulous and fun filled day). And, yes, I know my kids aren't extremely clean in these pictures but thats what happens when they have a ridiculous amount of fun. FYI, Dirty Kids = Entertained and "Go to Bed Easy" Kids. And for those of you who care this is what I did last week minus pictures: We went to Busch Gardens. We went to the beach. I ran my third 5k this summer. My friend Karen and her two kids came up and visited. We went to the beach, again. I had a great Sunday, which is a miracle because all my Sundays for the past month have been emotional and physical CRAZINESS! This week: I'm planning a lesson for RS - which I totally stress about, everytime I have to do one. I'm getting ready for Laura, my sis, and her fam to move down here on Thursday and they will stay with me for a week before they move into their new house - 15 minutes away (YAY!). Looking forward to Breaking Dawn coming out on Saturday where me and some gals will be celebrating by going out to lunch. And of course, I will be going to the beach.

Attention friends of Jason

Jason checked himself into this facility a week or two ago. Feel free to write letters of encouragement , support, or just to say hello. The address is located at the website. I'm sure he would appreciate anything since he'll be there for the next 40-50 days.

Goodbye, TV!

I've put down the remote at night and picking up books, instead. This might just be a summer thing since there is absolutely no good TV on (except for Project Runway, that is). But while I'm on this kick I'm on Goodreads.com. Please join it and add me as your friend. So far I only have one friend, Lisa, who was the one who told me about it. It's really fun because you can see what we're both reading and what we want to read and our reviews on everything we read. I love it!
