PCB Fun with Grandmother and Rob

Grandmother,

We have had so much fun with you this Summer. Glad we got to spend a weekend with you before you and Rob head back North for the Winter.  Thank you for always playing with us, the shopping trips and all the adventures. We will miss you so much. 

Lots of Love!

Lydia and Dantz

PS. One of us already cried for you while our mama was tucking us in tonight. :)

Just a few pics.. and lots and lots of rambling.

I have been slacking in the blogging department, big time. I just cannot seem to find a good time to post and I definitely haven't been taking many pictures.

 Speaking of blogging. Anyone out there use google reader? I knew it was going bye-bye, but I guess I just ignored it and bam, all the blogs that I follow are gone. What are y'all using now? I cannot go to each address to keep up and I don't really want to list them on my blog. Email me with the latest and greatest, please.

 Anywho, life has been a bit crazy. I like the phrase, blessed yet stressed. That seems to be true around here lately. And what is up with all the rain? Anyone else getting ready to float off?

The Summer is just about gone. We got word today that a full-time nurse has been approved for the school system, so that makes it much easier for them to care for Lydia. They will have a nurse at Montana full-time and we are beyond thrilled about it. We got the big, school supply list offline this week, so it's time to take big girl shopping. I bought her school uniforms last week. I just cannot believe she's going into Kindergarten. She is pumped.

Have I mentioned how much they LOVE each other??

Will and I slipped off to St George mid-June to celebrate our anniversary. We were gone less-than 24 hours, but it was long overdue. We got to see some of Will's old friends from his days in Vero Beach and it was fun to catch up.

Lately, we have been a bit on edge. Will lost his job a few weeks ago and it stinks. The hardest is we are total opposites. I make quick decisions and rush into new plans. (which isn't usually good, but I like action) Will is a thinker, researcher and slow shaker. We are struggling with a balance, but I know we will get to where we need to be. God is awesome and always provide. We are totally trusting in him. We are thankful and blessed that he put me back into my old job, from my previous life. And insurance is through my company. PTL!  This too shall pass.

Mom has been here all Summer and we love having her around. The nights she spends with us, Dantz crawls in bed with her around 6, every morning. They sleep and snuggle until about 7. It is sweetness. Emma and Sue Ellen are with her a lot and we love their visits. The girls have a big time playing together. It does my heart good. (still missing my brother, every single day)

So, I am pretty much all over the place in this post. Just typing and not really even reading it. I will delete or save for later, if I decide to edit. So, this is the latest. Girls are getting big, cousin love,  I started crossfit (love, love, love it!- cannot believe I waited so long) , Grandmother is here., work is crazy-crazy, family is near, friends are dear, Will is job searching, everyone is busy and the rain continues.....

AND Happy Birthday to Granddaddy King tomorrow. Love that man and everything he has done for his family.

SGI- July 4, 2013

A big thanks to Bea-Bea and Papa for a wonderful week at SGI.

Sweet Summertime!

It's Summertime! It's a bit different than years past, since I'm a working woman these days. The girls are still enjoying childcare and it has been wonderful having Grandmother here this past week. She's been picking them up early and they've been sleeping later in the morning. They are having some fun. Will and I are enjoying ourselves too, with an extra set of hands around.

Hope to be back soon with more Summer Fun!

Cha-Ching!

Tooth Fairy is coming to see L!

She lost not one, but two teeth this morning.

Family Beach Time!

End of 3P and 4P, plus visit to Montana

The girls both enjoyed their end of the year festivities. I have to admit that the last day of school snuck up on me. I wasn't prepared. The girls did not seem to notice though. They loved their teachers and they both had a wonderful year. It blows me and Will away with what they have learned this year. Cannot believe our baby Dantz is heading to 4p next year and Lydia to Kindergarten. A big thanks to their precious, loving teachers!

The next three pictures are of Dantzler at her end of the year party. She is one happy girl.

This picture is of Lydia and her sweet friend, Emma King at their end of the year party. They are going to miss each other next year, when Lydia goes to her new school. 

And this picture was taken this morning. It was Lydia's last day of 4P. She said she wanted to wear that dress bc Mrs. Sanders always like it. :) Dantzler finished the day before and this unprepared mama did not get a picture of her. So, we are just pretending this picture is the last day of school for both of them. (for some crazy reason I thought their last day was Friday) :(

Now, these pictures give me some serious mixed emotions. We took Lydia to open house at Montana Magnet last week, where she will go to Kindergarten. She was a little unsure to begin with but her two buddies from preschool and daycare showed up, so that sure did help. We are so sad that she is leaving First Pres, but we are thrilled about her new opportunity at Montana.

She looks so scared :(. She was really taking in what Mrs. Clark was saying....

Yay for Summertime!!
