Last Day of School

2010-06-09T12:05:00.000-07:00

It has been a very long time since I have blogged. I need to start doing it more often. :)

Today was Alexis' last day of school and let me tell you we are really glad. She has been waiting and counting down the days till this very day. For some reason this last month has been diffcult and very tiring for her. But summer is here and she will have a very fun pack summer. She is going to Shining Stars this summer and they have field trips planned for everyday so you will have a lot of fun stories to share.

I will have to post update pictures of her tball games from this year and additional photos soon.

I know it has been a long time since my last post. With all the wedding planning, new babies in the family and helping with my sisters wedding time has gotten away from me. I thought I would post a little update today. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures but I will post some soon.

Well in 6 months Chad and I will be getting married. I had my second dress fitting this Saturday and with all my hard work I love my dress. I have been going to the gym 6 days a week to tone up for the big day. :) Also, after a lot of thought and help from others I have finally picked out Alexis dress. This is after she tired on every possible dress in the dress shop that fit her. I ordered the bridesmaid dresses this weekend so things are on their way.

At the end of March I will be hosting a baby shower for my sister in law who I love dearly. It's hard to believe that in 11 weeks my brother will have his own little girl to spoil!!!!

Also, at the end of April I will be hosting a bridal shower for my sister Beth who will be getting married at the end of May. We are so excited to have a new brother in law.

Alexis is growing so fast. She has her first loose tooth and she will show it to anyone who will pay attention. She wants to eat an apple to see if it comes out but then again she isn't that sure. Alexis will be done with school for this year in 3 short months. It's hard to believe she will be moving on to first grade.

We are so lucky that Nicole is going to come stay with us for the summer to be Alexis nanny. I'm sure I will have a lot of pictures to post from their adventures.

Well I think this is enough for now. I will post more soon.

Take care everyone.

Alright, I know I haven't updated this for awhile. I got and email from Stacey telling me I need to get my butt in gear. :) Thanks Stacey. Love you!

Well Chad, Alexis and I flew to Kentucky on July 10. We spent a couple days in Nicholasville, Kentucky at Chad's parents house while the guys were at the D & d Open golfing event they have each year. Proudly to say Chad and his partner won the event. :) Way to go baby. We we go there Thursday Lori had planned a bithday party for Alexis because they didn't not get to see her on her bithday. We had cupcakes with ballon candles and she got spolied with gifts. :)

Friday Lori, Alexis, Cindy Chad's Aunt, Tara, Chad's cousin and I went to the pool in Nicholasville. Needless to say Alexis enjoyed herself. I was like a big jungle gym in the middle of a pool. There were slides, water spinkles everywhere and Miss Fearless didn't want to sit out of the water at all. We stayed there for a couple of hours and then travled home for a much needed nap. :)

Saturday the ladies traveled to the mall in Lexington. As were on our shopping trip a storm hit. I had no clue the storms were so intense down south. We saw leaves and dust flying through the courtyard of the mall. In the end we found out that one of the skylight panels had broken in the mall and that made the whirlwind effect in the mall. After the shopping trip we were super hungry so we stopped at Red Robbin and had a bite. Then it was of to home for nap time until we headed to the golf course to see the guys. :)

Sunday was a relaxing day we sat around and enjoyed ourselves until the "wet dogs" I mean guys that were on the golf course all day sweating returned. Chad and his partner won the tournamnet so he was ready to boast we he got home.

Alright this is the end of the first week there so I will post pictures and start another posting with the next week.

Alright, since everyone and their dog has one of these I decided to set up one to share the joy that is in my life. Alexis is graduting from Preschool tomorrow which is hard to believe. I don't know where the time has gone but she has grown up so fast.

I will put some pictures on here tonight of the great time we had this weekend with Nana and Papa at Tulip Time.
