This is what Chloe did during the rehearsal. She's not asleep, just laying in the floor eating yet another snack and playing.
I'm finally getting the pictures from our weekend on here. We really had a great time. I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted to. I took tons at the rehearsal and some at the hotel, but I didn't get any at the reception. Oh well, I still had trouble deciding which ones to put on here, so I guess that means I took enough. Chloe and Kiley had so much fun at the hotel. Chloe couldn't quite understand why her Granny couldn't be at her beck and call, but luckily she had Kiley to keep her occupied. I think Chloe enjoyed having a girl to play with for a change! She was worn out after being so busy, and she would just go right to sleep in her very own big bed! I never thought staying in a hotel room with three kids could be so easy, especially with a two year old.
Here's the latest drama at my house. Avery informed me this week, that he doesn't get a recess. I don't mean that he lost it, but that his class does not get to go outside and play. The first month of school was so hot that nobody went outside, so it's just in the past couple of weeks that I was wondering why Brady was going out, but Avery wasn't. I think the kids kept asking about going out, and the teacher told them that they don't have time. She said that they are in fourth grade now, so they don't need it. I haven't talked to the teacher yet, so I really don't have all the information. I know Avery might forget the details, but I also know he wouldn't just make up something like that. I also know that they haven't been going outside, so at this point I'm assuming that what he's told me is correct. I have to keep reminding myself that there is no need to get all worked up until I talk to his teacher. I really miss being able to email their teachers. I would have already had some answers by now if I could email. So, I'm sending a note to her tomorrow, and hopefully I'll get something back in the afternoon. I keep hoping for the best, but I'm not confident this is going to get settled to my satisfaction. See, there I go, getting ahead of myself! Anyway, I just feel really strongly that they still need a recess. From what Avery says, they don't really have any down time, and that's just not right. What do you guys think? Am I crazy to expect my elementary age kids to have recess? Aren't we trying to encourage the next generation to be more active and healthier?
We have had a busy, but great weekend in Florida. Thad and Stephanie got married this weekend, and the boys were all involved in the wedding. Brady was the ring bearer, Avery was an usher, and of course Keith was a groomsman. I have tons more pictures of our weekend, but I just had to share these tonight. I think they are all three so handsome!!
We were all outside playing one day recently, and I was just snapping pictures, trying to get some good ones. When I downloaded the pictures I was surprised at what a great picture this turned out to be. Brady doesn't usually stand still long enough for me to get a really great shot. He's also usually making some goofy face or running from me, so I was so excited about this one. You can actually see his eyes, which is nice since they're normally hiding under his hair. Anyway, I just had to share this one. I'll try to take some pictures of the boys with their haircuts I made them get yesterday!!
I'm finally getting around to posting a picture of the house. This is the only room that's neat enough to post, but maybe some day the rest of the house will be blog worthy! I really like how everything turned out, but I can't take the credit. My sister-in-law went shopping with me. She has an eye for that stuff, and I don't! (Thanks again!) I guess if you want to see more of the house sooner rather than later, then you'll just have to come visit!!
Today Keith and I have been married for 12 years! Wow, I can't believe that it's already been that long. It doesn't seem like it has been twelve years, but I can't really remember being without him. In the past 12 years, we have lived in four different states, moved eight times, had three kids in three different states, changed jobs three times, and bought two houses. It's been better than I could have imagined, and I can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the future. I am so blessed. Happy Anniversary Keith!!
