Long Long Time

It has been such a long time since I posted I don't even know where to begin. Summer came and went and now we are heading into fall. Summer was a whirl wind and fall is getting busy also. Ethan is playing football and loves it. He practices three times a week and has games on Saturday. He is actually pretty good.

Sydney started intermediate school this year. (5th grade) She really loves it and is doing well. She is doing swim and practices three times a week. This Saturday is her first meet. Addison started preschool this year and has really been enjoying it. She also does dance on Mondays.

So with all the kids activities and events we are staying really busy. I am going to try to stay updated on the post this fall.

Six unimportant things

I was tagged by a friend to list 6 unimportant things that make me happy.

1. clean house
2. time to read
3. going to the gym
4. the smell of candles in my house
5. happy children
6. being social

That is my list nothing to exciting.

Summer

Summer is here and very busy. The kids have swim team every morning and love to swim afterwards. They have meets on Thursdays. Sydney is really loving it and it going to sign up for year round. Ethan on the other hand tolerates it and can't wait for football to start. Addison is doing great swimming in the pool with her floaties this year.

pizza night

We had pizza night last night. I bought dough from publix and the kids and I rolled out individual pizza's. Then they got to pick there toppings and we baked the pizzas. They turned out really good and the kids had a great time making them. We might have to make it a monthly tradition.

Things are crazy

I have been saying I am going to sit down and update the blog but I haven't taken the time to do so. So now I need to back track. I am going to post some pictures that I have taken over the last few weeks. We have been spending a lot of time outside enjoying the beautiful weather. I have outside kids.

Easter Morning going to Church

my pantry

I painted the trim in the den the other day since we are getting new carpet. Then I noticed how bad the kitchen looked and painted the trim in there. Then I noticed how bad the trim in the pantry looked and how bad the walls looked. So in the end I took everything out and repainted the walls, threw away old packages, and put stuff in tupperware. Now it looks really nice. Now I am back to the trim in the other rooms of the house.

My little gardener

Addison is already to go out an garden. Of course we don't have a garden so she just played in the mulch around the swing set.

Shopping again

We love the new Target in Canton. The whole shopping center is wonderful. You can park in the center and go to Kohls, Target, and TJ Maxx with out having to move the car and buckle and unbuckle a toddler. They also have a Lowes and Dick's sporting goods store. There are several others that haven't opened yet. As you can tell from the picture Addison really likes the new carts target has. They are big enough for her to ride underneath and she thinks that is so cool.

It has been a while

It has been a while since I have updated the blog. I sit down and mean to do it and then get side tracked with other things. Plus I have been spending too much time on facebook. I think it is an addiction and I guess I am addicted.

We have been having some really fun times around here. A couple of weeks ago we took the kids to the Bascomb family fun night. Theyhad a great time rock climbing, doing art, and playing on the jumpies. Addison really loved the train. Her and I have been spending a lot of time going to the gym. She loves the new gym because several of her friends go also.
