Yay!!!

I finally found a way to access my pictures to put on the blog!! I've been struggling with this for a few months now since I've had an issue with our home computer. No matter! We're here now. 
So, quite a bit of catching up to do. We've had an unbelievable summer since school got out for the kiddos. We got to visit Mimi and Papi (and everyone else!) in Boston. We've spent a lot of time at the local amusement park- Carowinds- the kids are in love!! We've started gymnastics for both Katie and Mikey and are also continuing our swim lessons. We've spent almost every day at Pat and Joes pool (sometimes several times a day!!). 
We've packed so much fun in this summer and don't want it to end. The kids are growing so fast and are so big. Mikey is really turning into such a big boy (minus the thumb sucking....we're working so hard on that). He loves trains, trucks and action figures (Spider-Man, Iron Man and Ninja Turtles at the top of the list). He loves doing 'big jumps' in the pool and riding his bike. Most if all he loves his sister, which is the best. 
Katie is 4 going on 16. She LOVES roller coasters (amazing), and water slides. She is doing fantastic at swim (level 4B now) and gymnastics. I love that she puts her mind to something and gives it her all. I guess that's part of her stubborn streak (the other part is NOT cute!!). She is the best at coloring. She works so hard at her art and it's amazing. She is a fabulous big sister (second mother) to Mikey and loves him so much. 
These two are my absolute heart. 

So, let's get caught up......

Carowinds

We are so lucky to have an amusement park right in our backyard! Me and the kids have every intention of taking full advantage of it this summer so we got ourselves some season passes.

Gymnastics

Kaitlyn has started gymnastics again. This time we joined another gym in Rock Hill- Thomas Gymnastics and she LOVES it. She is really trying hard to do her best and she is doing great so far!

Schooooool's Out for Summma!

Kaitlyn is so exited for school to be out...not because she doesn't like school or her teachers or her friends but because 'she doesn't want mommy to wake her up any more!' We got some fun End of the Year gifts for our teachers and the kids were so excited to give them to them. We will miss our them SO much but it's comforting to know we will at least be seeing them next year even though they won't be teaching Mikey or Kaitlyn.
Now on to summer fun!!!!

Mother's Day

I got a Mother's Day gift from Mikey this afternoon. He brought it home from school today and couldn't wait for me to open it. He was so excited for me to see his hard work! His little face was so proud. I love this boy so much. I am truly blessed to have him in my life- he is a real joy and teaches me something new every day. My dear, dear Mikey.






It's Pool Season!!
