Emilie Graduation & Zoo

Yeah, I know I am way behind, but better late then never. I thought that I would let everyone see a couple pics of Emilie graduating pre-school in May. She was so adorable!

The week before Elementary got out, Jalynn and I took the girls to the Zoo, they had so much fun!

Vacation

We left for vacation the day after school let out and drove straight through to Florida. The drive was really not too bad, the kids had so much to do that they left us alone for the most part. That is until they fell asleep. Justin slept non stop for 7 hours or so, but Emilie cried in her sleep, that was not fun. We got through it tho and we made it there in one piece. We did stop on the way at Destin Beach to let the kids see the ocean for the very first time. To be funny, Justin says that was one of the best parts of our trip. We met up with more family after we got there, the kids were so excited to see grandpa and grandma. The day after we got there, we took the kids to a really large McDonalds where I lost track of Emilie for a few minutes. Man o man that was scary for me. Cody, Heather, & Cameron arrived a bit later, then everyone went to bed. The first day at the parks we went to Magic Kingdom. You should have seen Emilie's face when she saw the castle, pure joy! We did and saw so many things, but still we did not see all of the park. In the following days we went to Epcot, there Justin loved test track. We also went to Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon, they were both fun and refreshing. The kids loved the lazy river most of all! We did go back to Magic Kingdom to watch the fireworks, and let me tell you, they were the best fireworks show I ever saw. Our last day there, Aaron got to not feeling to well, but we still went to Hollywood Studios for Star Wars Weekends! Justin had a blast and of course got to go on the Star Tours ride, that was his highlite of the trip, mine was when I got to go to bed! After a long week of walking around we started our way back home, but this time we did not drive straight home. We had an awesome time and we plan on going again.......in about 4 years or so! But here are some pictures for everyone to look at in the mean time!

New Hair Cut

Before my family went on vacation, I decided to get my hair cut and I was going to let Hazel do whatever she wanted to my hair. She took over 6 inches off of my hair and highlighted and lightened and the ending result is awesome! I love my new look, it is so easy to take care of and it looks really nice. She did an awesome job!

Out of the Loop-Easter info and pics

Okay it seems I just can't seem to catchup anymore these days, so bear with me! Since the last post, nothing real major has happened, but I will update as much as possible.

We had a nice Easter, we colored eggs, really the first time on our own. We had a special kit our friend Natalie gave us, where you could make your own stickers to put on the colored eggs. The kids had a blast.The finished product!
The next morning, they woke up to what they really wanted......Tennis rackets in their Easter baskets!
We also attended our church's Easter egg hunt, the kids had a blast!

Emilie Got a Haircut

A few weeks ago, Emilie wanted to get her haircut, so we did! Our friend cut over 6 inches of hair off. I thought I would miss it, but really it looks really good. Her hair is also much easier to take care of! She said that she did not want mommy fixing her hair all the time, well I of course still fix it, but it does not take as long. No she is not crying in the picture, her eyes were watering from a cold.
