Summer.... Please Slow Down!!!!

Summer, Please slow down I don't want you to end!

i am not ready for getting up early, getting two kiddos ready for school... one of which IS NOT a morning person, or homework... we have FINALLY reached the point where our day doesn't really start until 9:00... i never ever thought i would see the day my kids actually slept late... and now that is all about to change... sign... change is good right... so they say... i keep telling myself that... ready or not here it comes!!! Meanwhile we have been enjoying ever ounce of summer fun... hang on this is a hodge podge of pictures so be ready... Brylee got to be princess for a day... we rolled her hair, applied make up, put on a crown, and pretty pink princess dress and headed to the party to celebrate cousin katie turning 3...

While sister girl was decked out in her finest... big brother bear and daddy were roughin it in the woods at RA dad and lad camp. They had a blast! Here are a few pictures... i am suppose to be getting a cd of pictures but until then here are a few from their fun camp experience...

look out second grade here comes one motley crew...

funny enough 4 of these 7 guys are all in the same class...

yes say a prayer for that poor teacher(s)... they will have there hands full

cooking breakfast on "buddy burners"

S.N.O.W. ( Something New On Wednesdays)... jackson has been having a BLAST on Wednesday nights at church this summer... we have the best children's leader who has been doing all kinds of super fun stuff with the kids... these are picture from Splish Splash night and the giant water slide..jackson and mrs laura going down the slide... she is the best... how many children's leaders would do that... and have that much fun! Mrs. Laura's husband Mr. Phil was mine and richard's first sunday school teacher at LBC and he left our class to go teach in the children's ministry when our kids were babies... we were so sad... but now we are go glad b.c they now have our kids... what a blessing they are! they have also had a "messy night" where they played in pudding, grits, and flour and tonight we had a mini-carnival with games, popcorn and Mr. Phil's homemade cupcakes and icing... OH MY they were DEVINE! i hope to get my hands on some of those picture too...

We went to Alabama Adventure Monday and had a blast! We were there ALL DAY LONG... 10 to 5... the kids LOVED it... they got to ride the "toilet bowl slide" for the first time and that was Jackson's favorite... they loved the "big kid water slide park" and the lazy river too. Again we have finally reached and age where we can just go and do all day long and everyone is just fine! So nice to reach that point! No picture from that... i think my little point and shoot finally bit the dust... it works sometimes and not others... this was a not others time :(!

I think we are headed to the lake this weekend for a long weekend... looks like it might be the last time for a while... school is around the corner, football for daddy will be in full swing very soon, and we will just have to slow down and take it easy and kiss summer fun goodbye!

leaving you with a beautiful sun set from our front porch tonight!
