What's been going on....

Well... it's been awhile since our last post, we have had a BUSY BUSY summer! We started June off right by heading down to San Antonio for a few days and then continuing down to South Padre for an entire week. We stopped at Nana and Papa's house for a few days and went to Sea World, the Children's Museum, had a family BBQ and Steve and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary. It was Caroline's first visit to the beach and she absolutely loved it! Uncle Ben and Steve dug A LOT of holes and made A LOT of sand castles. She loved walking along the beach picking up sea shells and flying kites. What a great unforgettable summer vacation!

At home, Steve has FINALLY finished the girls' bathroom. He gutted the ENTIRE bathroom down to the studs. He worked on it a few hours every weekend and finished a few weeks ago. He did an AMAZING job! I cannot believe he figured out how to remodel an entire bathroom by himself. He is so talented! We also got the girls' room re textured, new doors, new baseboards, crown molding and painted. They both have some NEW pink rooms! Caroline LOVES it and has helped me decorate it. It's been a fun project that I am glad is coming to an end! Oh-yea, and Caroline is potty trained, wahoo!! It took a lot of bribing and incentives but she is a pro now!

Also, baby "L" update... we are 24 weeks and doing GREAT! Baby "L" is perfect is every way! We cannot be more excited. Now to work on a name....

Here are a lot of pictures from this summer.... get ready.

NEWS!

We have some EXCITING news in our house... Caroline is going to be a big sister to a little sister in December. We are extremely excited to be a family of four! I am 14 weeks pregnant and feeling great! I am off for the summer and we have decided that I will stay home full time so I will be taking a break from teaching for awhile. I am SO excited to start my new career as a full time stay at home mom :0) Here is a picture of Caroline proudly wearing her "big sister" shirt.

Summer Time!

Caroline is loving the start to summer...

Mother's Day!!

What a GREAT mother's day! I woke up so excited this morning... I had two lovely presents from Caroline. She gave me an adorable flower pot that she made in speech class and also used her allowance to go shopping and buy me my favorite perfume :0) What a great way to start the day. We headed out to the zoo today with Uncle Ben, Grams and Grandad and had a blast! I am so lucky that I got to spend the day with my mom! Caroline of course fed the giraffes, saw the gorillas, rode the carousel, and for the first time EVER rode a pony. She did so great and loved it... we were so proud of her. She of course was petting it and making a lot of ahhhhh... noises. She is such a compassionate little girl and has such a sweet heart towards animals. I definitely think she will grow up and take care of animals, be a zoo keeper or a marine biologist. What a picture perfect day!!
