SUMMERTIME IS HERE!!!!!

Today is our first official day of summer, so only fitting that we go to our home away from home. The pool!!! Gotta love it no alarm clocks, no homework, no schedules, just FUN, FUN, FUN, and SUN!!!

Taelynn is finally independent enough with swimmies and a ring so I do not have to be in the pool the entire time. Jasper and Taelynn play really well together in the pool, and Savannah normally finds a friend(which is a lifesaver otherwise I would have to entertain all three, not fun!)

Taelynn wiped out!!(when we got home today, it took her 4 minutes after her bath to fall asleep, let's HOPE she stays asleep all night)

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY...

ALRIGHT I KNOW THAT WE NEED THE RAIN BUT TODAY WAS OUR END OF THE YEAR PARTIES AND OF COURSE THEY WERE PLANNED FOR OUTSIDE. BOO HOO!!! JASPER WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE A PICNIC THEMED PARTY, ANYWAY WE LAID OUT THE BLANKETS IN THE ROOM. (IMPROVISE!) I AM FEELING BITTERSWEET ABOUT TODAY, JASPER HAD THE BEST TEACHERS THIS YEAR AND MADE THE BEST OF FRIENDS, I KNOW SHE WILL MISS THEM A LOT!! HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO GET TOGETHER THIS SUMMER WITH SOME OF HER NEW FRIENDS. MRS. MARY WAS ONE OF JASPER'S TEACHERS, SHE WAS GREAT!

Watching daddy's fireworks

Today and tonight was soo.. much fun, we were at the pool all day, and got to hang out with new friends, and saw some old friends too. The girls wore themselves out! After the pool we went home to have a quiet cookout with just the five of us. I have to say John made the BEST ribs I have ever tasted, even better than Houstons. Dinner was awesome!!! Then our friends the Sheets came over for a mini fireworks show and some ice cream. This weekend was so busy I am not sure we could have packed in another thing. I know I had a wonderful time and I think the girls and John did too. The guys hopin' they did not set anything on fire.

Jasper's favorite part is the sparklers.
Taelynn LOVES Amber.
The "2" Savannahs. This is Amber's sister.
Cindy and my babies!
This is the best pix I have of the fireworks the rest did not come out good at all.

THANK YOU JOHN FOR A WONDERFUL WEEKEND, YOU SPOILED US ONCE AGAIN. I LOVE YOU!!!

"FIRST DAY AT OUR POOL"

My girls have been looking forward to this day all week!
Taelynn stays in the little pool most of her time.
Our future UGA cheerleader!
A little too much fun at the pool (this just lasted a second) still to be had!
This is what Savannah does the whole time we are at the pool.

Today was a lot of fun!!!! We got lunch and brought it to the pool and stayed until the little ones NEEDED a nap (Jasper of course did not sleep, too big) Anyway Savannah did not want to go home, her bff Amber was with us and her parents had gotten there right as John was packing up the girls. So I stayed with Savannah for another hour or so.(probably not a good idea John also took the sunscreen and Savannah got a little sunburn.) When everyone got all cleaned up we took the girls to a movie, as Jasper says "movie feater". We saw the new Narnia movie, it was good! The girls loved it. Well, after the movie we finished the night at Jim Bobs, good as always, thanks Benny!

I am sooo sleepy I going to bed, GOOD NIGHT!!

"Family Fun Night"

We had a GREAT night tonight! Just a little friendly game of Wii bowling (yeah right my girls are all about winning) Jasper has gotten SOO.... good at this game she beat me the first game. Besides we got daddy who is VERY serious about his game (look out)! You have to know that Savannah is the queen at bowling she ALWAYS wins. This was Jasper's strike! Go girl, you so good! As Taelynn says"double fives" (aka high five)
Check out the the INTENSITY! lol
Look out following in daddy's footsteps (serious)
Mommy ad Taelynn taking a break on the bed
Savannah showing her little sisters her new yearbook. She is so excited about it she and her bff Amber were in a cute picture.

"Rainy Afternoon"

A rainy afternoon ended at McDonald's for ice cream and an hour of play time.

Jasper got a haircut (I love it short)

"Simon Says"

Tonight we went to church to see the spring musical which Savannah and her bff Amber were singing in. It was too cute, FBCW always puts on a good show!!! The kids did awesome! We also got to see our good friends Hollie and Addie Hixson there, it was great to see them at our church (most of the time we have to go to Vinings in order to see them.) They did show the preschool choirs on the big screen so we got to see Jasper in the show too. Great job girls!

BFF'S in costume

My girl getting ready for the show

This was cool! All the lights were off and the kids had hand held lights singing "light of the world"

Saturday in the yard

It was a busy day for us today. John had to work and I was at rehearsal for Savannah's spring musical. That was our morning, I had to miss my nephew's pre-k graduation and a birthday party, Congrats Gavin, we are proud of you man!!!! Also Happy Birthday to Ari!! After lunch we spent the rest of the day in the yard, laying pine straw and planting flowers and all the usual stuff. Savannah, I think was tired, she spent most of the day inside but the little ones were troopers. Jasper and Taelynn played outside ALL day, digging for worms and pulling each other in the wagon (2 cute!!) I have never seen my girls this dirty before, it was quite a scene. Well, what do you do when they are THAT dirty? You hose them down! Jasper could not get enough but Taelynn wasn't too sure about getting that wet from a hose. Anyway the yard is starting to look good now we will finish up tomorrow. John worked soooo.. hard, he is SOUND asleep right next to me and not even upset with the commotion of me on the computer. (can you believe it?) All your hard work is paying off honey, I love the way the yard looks.
