Memorial Holiday 2010

David actually got to take the Holiday off as scheduled. He has been working such long hours lately. We really was looking forward to him being home.

Friday evening we told the girls we were going on a adventure on Saturday. They were almost too excited to go to bed. After a lot of questions I told them we were going to Cave In Rock. Well they had no clue and wanted to know all about it. I told them it was a surprise and they could just think about it. So Molly decided that she needed to think like a rock!!

So after cake deliveries were done the next morning we set out on our adventure. Of course we had the typical questions like"is it long" from Lindy.

As we got closer to the hills Molly would comment about the "beautiful view".

We started our day eating at the Fish House Restaurant in Elizabethtown. We love this place. The best fish ever! Then we headed to Cave In Rock. The girls fell asleep on the way there. I wondered what sort of mood they'd be in when we woke them.

But they were ready and excited to see what the big fuss was about. It was a beautiful day. Just a tad hot for me, but we sat out walking around the park. We made our way down toward the river and the girls were loving all the rocks and steps along the bank.

They were anxious to walk into the cave. It was slippery so Dave took them in where you can look up and see the light. They really liked the cave.

I love this picture.

Then we headed to Pounds Hollow.

I remember going here when I was a kid not much older than they are.

There is a beach area and several picnic places.

It being such a hot day I thought we could wade in the water to cool off.

The girls would have loved to build a sand castle. But I didn't want them in the sand.

But they had a great time looking for "she shells"

Good thing I had a change of clothes int he car. Next time we will pack a swimsuit!

It was a really good drive. We are hoping for another

adventure real soon.

On Monday my family fixed fish at my parents house.

Dave took a few bikes to putter around on. I can't believe my dad rode one.

Molly & Lindy loved helping with the fish.

Pre-K Is History!

August 2009

1st day of Pre-K.

May 25, 2010

Last regular day of Pre-K.

I was so sad this day. My babies are growing up and I can't stop it!!

I'm very proud of the accomplishments these two have done while attending pre school.

I think they will do well in kindergarten.

On Wednesday the 26th, the Pre-K classes had a "beach day" for the very last day of school.

So we lathered on the sunscreen and away we went. Of course I founds a chair in the shade most of the time.

Mostly they just wanted to play in the sprinkler.

The school treated the families with pizza.

Playing in the rocks with Aryli.



Saying goodbye to their teacher.
Miss Tammy & Miss Ginny.
(Miss Mary was sick)

So, now we are getting all their physical appointments made for kindergarten.

Lindy is worried that she will need a shot.

They will see a dentist, eye doctor and their pediatrician.

Lots to do before August.

Big Truck Night

For the last few years my hometown has had a big truck night at the school for the kids. We happen to be visiting my parents on this day so we got to take the girls for a bit. They had lots of activities for they to do. There was kiddie train rides, popcorn, cotton candy and pizza.

They also got to visit several emergency vehicles. Like a police car, firetruck and ambulance where they got a pair of rubber cloves!

Here Molly is honking the horn of a semi truck!

Lindy climbed up on this huge combine.

They enjoyed it a lot.

And best of all it was FREE!!

Gymnatstic Spring Performance

Molly & Lindy have been in gymnastics since August of last year. Their last class was a Spring Performance. They got to show off all they have learned for their family. The best yet is each kid got a certificate and trophy. Lindy was excited.

Because if you remember she was not happy with JUST a ribbon for the cartwheelathon that they participated in last December.

So, she was looking forward to this day...

Warming up for the show

Lindy grabbed her trophy so fast it was a blur!! :)

Really she loved it!

Grandma & Daddy were able to come.

So was Mamaw, Colin, Daniel & Aunt Donna.

They are going to miss gymnastics. They both did a great job.

Thank you Mamaw & Papaw!!!!

Car Wash Fun

On a warm summer night...

while daddy did this....

we did this!!

This puddle was huge. First they walked through it.

Then they stomped through it.

Then they sat in it!!

Before we left they were laying in it!!

FUN FUN FUN!!!

Swimming in the Rain

While swimming in their pool it started to rain. The girls came running inside because they were "getting wet"!!

hummmm!!

Check out their solution!

I think it's pretty clever.

Jake's Graduation

It's hard to believe this boy is now a

high school graduate!!

We are proud of you Jake!

My nephew Jake and his niece Hadlie.

I LOVE this picture.

Swim Party

One last pre school birthday party

for this year. I am so sad that

my girls are growing up. I know it is a fact of life

but nevertheless I am sad.

Just this morning Lindy complained

about her teeth hurting. After looking her

over, I discover that her two lower front teeth

are slightly loose. Oh my!! Yet another

reason to sigh!! This summer

will fly by and come August I will no longer

have my kids at home. They will be

full time students.

(a deep breath & a big sigh)

Maddie had a swim party. Molly is not as afraid of the water as much as she use to be. Thank goodness. They even ditched the rings at the party.

The birthday girl, Maddie.

See, they are so brave. Even jumping in!

Thanks, Mamaw, for the awesome swimsuits!

Lindy is a fish! You have to watch her like a hawk.

They had a great time.

Congratulations Colin!

We love you!
