Summertime and the living is easy...

How funny is that quote- its obvious that song wasn't written by someone with two little girls to keep them busy!

And busy we have been! Once again I begin a post with the words..."I'm sorry its been so long since my last post" but I just don't seem to have the time these days. So I am going to shoot for shorter posts more often- we'll see how well I do with this...

Here is a short recap of the last few months, leaving out all sorts of stuff I am sure!

Preschool, gymnastics, choir, music, and all other things ended in the spring. The summer began crazy busy with a trip with friends to the lake followed by two busy weeks of VBS/VBS planning, then came Dance/Princess camp, Girlie Girl then a trip to Grammy's. This week it was Art Camp and next week its First Pres camp, then its a week off, then a week to the beach just in time for school to start! WOW- like I said we have been busy!

Here are some highlights...










and this seems to be all blogspot is allowing me to upload today, so I'll try again later...

Happy New Year!!! 2010- WOW!

Well..its a new year already! I can't believe that my last post was from the beach this summer! So much has happened since then and I am making a promise to myself to be a better blogger! This post is going to be my "recap" from the past few months to get me caught up and ready to go this new year! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and is having a fantastic 2010!!


Merry Christmas!






Thanksgiving was a great day! We started off at the Gobble Jog on the Square. Sarah Kate took part in her first Tot Trot and loved it! Lots of her friends where there running too.


One little, two little...its Thanksgiving time!



Since we hadn't had pictures professionally taken of Hadley since she was born, we decided to have some done around her 1st birthday. A sweet girl I grew up with in Dalton is now a photographer and she did an amazing job!






Halloween was so much fun! SK wanted to be Snow White and insisted her sweet sister be a dwarf (Dopey more specifically). I found a precious Garden Gnome costume that we pretended looked like a dwarf and SK called her Dopey (pay backs might be rough). We had a wonderful time at parties, parades, hayrides and pumpkin carvings! This is my favorite time of the year!!





A few more from the Halloween and Pumpkin Patches...

When Sarah Kate wasn't around Hadley was a Daisy

I got to go on Sarah Kate's first ever field trip (we rode on a big bus and ate snacks out of brown bags- the whole experience) to the pumpkin patch. So much fun!

Sweet Hadley!



One of my favorite things about the Fall is a trip to the Pumpkin Farm!




Sarah Kate got Fifth Disease and loved having such red cheeks. She loves this picture b/c of her cheeks and wanted me to include it! Daddy didn't weather Fifth's quite so well...


Just having fun!



Sarah Kate participated in cheerleading at our Church this Fall- she loved every minute of it! It was a wonderful way to spend the beautiful Fall days outside! Grammy came to see her cheer too! GOOOO Mighty Munchkins!!



The FAIR came to town and there is no better way to say goodbye to Summer and hello to Fall than a trip to the Fair! Hadley was still too little to ride anything this year but next year she will be all over it! Of course our dare devil Sarah Kate wanted to ride EVERYTHING but still needs to be a couple of inches taller for the big rides. She is fearless!



Can't believe that my baby is growing up! We had a "Cupcake Brunch" to celebrate Miss. Hadley turning ONE! Despite all the rain (this was the weekend the flood began) we all had a wonderful time! Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!



I had my 15 year class reunion and had a great time catching up with friends!


Sarah Kate had her first trip to the dentist! She got a good report and really had fun!


Our first time to Centennial Olympic Park to play in the fountains- after Dana and I figured out how to work the parking machine we had a wonderful time!



The Girls first Braves Game!! What a fun day- thanks Penual Family!!

Busy Summer!

We have been busy, busy this summer! June was filled with summer camps at the Church for SK, July was the beach and some girls weekends and so far August isn't letting us slow down much!

Here are some pictures of the beach- we go with Robert's family to Hilton Head each year. This year was fun, despite the bad weather!!


Sarah Kate loves the beach

Hadley's first time to the beach!

Guess who loves sand??

Yep- I was there too! Just usually hidden behind the camera!

Robert teaching SK to surf!
