We're Back!

Hello to my few followers! Sorry for the delay in all of our posting but we have been consumed with track out and other activities! Let's see last we posted Andy & I had just returned from a relaxing vacation and it was the beginning of May! What have we been doing with ourselves?



We celebrated Mother's Day with a wonderful time! Church, Lunch, Nap, Strawberries! Then we were in full swing of the last month of school. Caden & his class put on their play The Odyssey. We signed the kids up for swimteam this summer. I don't think I had any idea how much time this was going to take! We are at the pool everyday it seems! But our little Marlin Maniacs are swimming like fish! Caden turned 8! Yes I did say 8! Wow he has grown up so fast! I love his personality...he is so kind and such a good friend. So for his birthday we took 11 of his friends to the movies to see Night at the Museum 2! Our dear friend and babysitter graduated from STMA...she is off to Cathloic U in the fall! Gran & PaPa came for a visit.

Susan & Maddie came to stay for a few days and loved splashing in the pool! We cooked out for Memorial Day & didn't send the kids to school! Bailey & George went to Pet Day at LES! My Cousin Michael got married in the mountians. Caden & Alli were in the wedding & Andy took the photos! We celebrated our 11th Anniversary! Alli graduated from Kindergarten! We spent a week at the beach! Aunt Debbie invited us to stay with her one night at the Embassy Suites Myrtle Beach! The kids had a blast in the water park and on the lazy river! Thanks Aunt Debbie!


We celebrated Jane's 60th birthday with dinner at Angus Barn. The kids got to go in the kitchen to decorated Gran's birthday cake. We also suprised her on Saturday with a party with her friends at their house! We have spent crazy days playing at the pool! Our first swim meet! Go Marlins! The four of us took off for a quick trip to The Great Wolf Lodge.


It was so much fun! We stopped by IKEA! We also got to meet our newest cousin Brayden & stay with Uncle Charles & Aunt Virgina! The kids love

playing with Ms. Grace their dog! Celebrated Father's Day with brunch and Sunset Slush! The kids and I gave Andy two suger gliders for Father's Day. I'll post more later on how ZuZu & Hatch are adjusting to our family! Granddaddy & YaYa were able to join us! Andy wanted us to work in the yard for his day so we planted, weeded & mowed! After we headed to Chargrill! Yummy! Smore's with friends! Swim Meets, Celebrated JVS's birthday, had some friends over for dinner. Shopping for school supplies. Now we have one more week before school starts! I can't believe it...it will be bitter sweet. I think they are so excited about the new school year! Alli is going to have the same teacher Caden had last year & Caden will have Mrs. Wood. We look forward to what this year will hold.
