Jackson being cute at the beach

Back to school...

Morgan and Dylan started school again this week. Very hard to believe since i swear they just got out!!

Morgan is starting 2nd grade, and so far seems to like it and is in a class with all her friends. Dylan is starting kindergarten, and is also doing fine so far. I worry a little about that boy, he likes to talk more then he likes to listen!

As usual for the first week of school it has been hot, but thankfully they have not gotten out early because of the heat yet.

I took some pictures of them in their classrooms. Dylan was fine with it, but i think i am starting to be a little to uncool for Morgan...she really did not want me taking her picture:)

Oh, and Morgan FINALLY learned to tie her shoes the day before school started!! WOOHOOO!!! i was starting to think she was going to go to college with velcro shoes:)

Birthday Girl!!

For the past couple of years Morgan has wanted to have a birthday party with some of her friends. In the past i have always said no, because it just seemed like a lot of work and she always gets tons of gifts from relatives that she really doesn't need anymore.

Well this year i gave in. I figured she is only a little girl once, and to be honest she is already growing up so fast!!

So Morgan decided that if she was turning eight, she should invite 8 friends...i talked her into six. After some thought i decided it would be fun to have supper at the Pizza Ranch and from there go to a hair salon and get a manicure done on all the girls.

Well as it turned out the girls could pick from 2 out of 3 things, there toes done, their finger nails done. or their hair done all pretty! Well of course the girls all wanted their hair done, and then some chose to do their toes and some their finger nails.

All in all i would say the girls had a blast!! They loved getting their hair all curled, they loved the viabrating massage chair that they got to set in while getting their toe nails done. They just loved being pampered!!

After it was all done last night Morgan wanted to know if she could do it again nextyear...HA! Probably not. My ears are still ringing from 7 squealing girls!!

Vacation

We decided to take one more small vacation before the kids head back to school next week. We went to a place called Scharnberg park. Its was a nice little camping place where you can camp, swim, fish, or just relax...i was all for the relaxing!!!

We went up on Wed. night after work and came home on Sunday. We really had a good time. We went to the beach every day, and i am SO happy to say that Logan actually got in the water and by the last day went in all the way up to his SHOULDERS!! That is a huge step for him!

Other then that the kids did a little fishing...and i mean little. The fish were very tiny and Brian would no more then get one fish off the hook then another one would catch one. Needless to say after an hour Brian had had enough fishing.

Sunday we celebrated Morgans 8th birthday....My baby!!!! She opened her gifts and then it was time to pack up and head back home. It was nice to get away, but i must say there is nothing like my own king sized bed compared to that awful, uncomfortable, back killer of a bed we have in our camper:)
