Summer is Here!





School is out and the kids are home for summer. We kicked off the summer with a trip to Savannah and Tybee Island. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating the kids accomplishments this year! They have both grown tremendously! I have to brag on Madison a bit. The last day of school we received her CRCT scores (Georgia's standardized tests). She scored almost perfect, only missing 2 out of 160 questions! I guess we could always tell she was a smart one! Keep it up, girl!

Six Flags



As official Georgia residents, we decided to purchase Season tickets to Six Flags for the year. We have been several times already, and have had a blast. There is so much to for all of us. A few highlights of our trips so far are that Madison rode her first upside down roller coaster, The Mindbender. She was really nervous, but very proud of herself for trying it! I don't think I rode upside down at 7 years old! I was too scared for her, that I couldn't ride it with her. Thankfully< one of my best friends, Rachel, was with us and rode with her! Hudson also rode his first roller coaster and is ready for bigger, upside down ones as well, but he is not tall enough yet! You should have seen him ride his first mini coaster, hands high in the air and a big smile on his face. We always new he was a natural born thrill seeker! One of the best parts is the parent swap....If you have small children, you can go through the exit, bypass the lines and get directly on the ride with no wait! I couldn't believe it! Brian and I have gotten to ride almost everything! We will definitely get our money's worth this year!

Happy Easter



We had a great Easter this year. We started the weekend with our first Easter egg hunt at night. We all enjoyed the experience of using flashlights and searching through fields for eggs. What a fun concept! The next morning we attended the egg hunt at our church, visited the Easter Bunny, and dyed eggs. The kids participated in their first sac race. Brian and I even got a chance to race....He proudly won! On Sunday, we attended Easter service and had an early dinner with some friends at our house. The kids got to enjoy several Easter baskets courtesy of their loving grandparents. They loved them!
