Grandparents Lunch with Andrew

Kindergarten Lunch It's Grandparents Week at Welch Elementary School and they have a lunch for Grandparents to come to. Drew's was today and Jack's is Friday. They enjoyed a choice of a taco or mini corndogs...mmmmm. I know you're super jealous! ;)
Thank you, Dad and Christy for being such amazing grandparents and parents. You bring so much to our lives and we are blessed and lucky to have you both. We love you!! xoxo

SPACE CAMP

How in the world could we go to Huntsville and NOT go to Space Camp?!?! For those of you that know me well, you know I wanted to go to Space Camp SO BAD when I was a kid. I asked every year for Christmas. As an adult, I have to say when I got there, I was pretty disappointed. I think Space Camp was probably pretty cool in the 80's and may have lost its flair. :) The boys enjoyed themselves which is what matters the most. A quick note to my Dad & Mom...don't worry, I won't ask to go to Space Camp anymore. ;)

Daddy graduates from Bomb School

I took the boys to Huntsville, Alabama on Friday so they could see their Dad graduate from Bomb School. Neil is on the Atlanta Police SWAT team and just finished a 6 week bomb certification course. Huntsville is the only bomb school in the country which worked out well because the boys really wanted to go and I was able to take them since it was only 3.5 hours away. As you all know, the boys think he has the coolest job and is the coolest guy ever so they were super excited to see him and to see all the cool stuff they had at the school. He had been gone for 6 weeks so they were super excited to get there. He gave them both a bomb tech pin and coin. Drew is still wearing that pin. Congratulations, Neil! Please be safe, you have 2 little boys that think you hung the moon.

We headed to Lake Lanier this weekend to meet up with the Naquin Family like we did last year! We had a great time fishing, swimming, tubing, kneeboarding...you name it, we did it! We headed up Saturday and stayed the night and were joined by others for the day on Sunday! Everyone had a really great time and we even avoided the rain!
That's alot of boys...

Ice Cream Dates...

It was a great first week of work for Mom. How did we end it? I picked up my boys at 3:30pm on Friday afternoon and we went on an ice cream date to celebrate early days! After we were done we went to Barnes and Noble and each picked a book! I love you Boys! xoxo

The first of many I'm sure...

August 28, 2011 Well, it's official! Drew got his first black eye. He said he ran into a branch which is pretty likely with all the tag and hide and seek that goes on. The funny part...school picture day was the next morning. Stay tuned for those...haha
