Summer 2009

Well it's been a little bit since I have blogged.....so thought I would do an update! :) It has been a little crazy around our house this summer. Jevin played baseball this summer, which he completely enjoyed and loved! He completely amazed me this year....he played so awesome, I was a very proud mommy! Caitlyn decided she didnt want to play softball this summer, I was a little bummed about that....so we signed her up for gymnastics, she really enjoys that, she goes once a week to that! And well, little Kirsten, she is just herself, a 2 year old, she is such a joy to us though. She has been doing really well lately with her manners, she has been saying yes ma'am, please, thank you, excuse me, sorry. So I guess she is learning something productive at school when she is not playing! :) That makes me happy! If only Jevin & Caitlyn could take some of those manners from their 2 year old sister! ha ha

Well we also got to go on an awesome vacation trip to Florida! It was definitely an adventure with three little kids!! But they had so much fun! It was their first time to see the ocean and I hope it is a memory they will have for forever! I know that Scott & I will! My parents & brother accompanied us on the trip, so it was so much fun! The condo we stayed in was awesome too. We all pretty much had our own space. Mom & Dad had their own room, with a bathroom, Scott & I had our own room (Kirsten stayed with us), then Jevin & Caitlyn had their own room with bunk beds and Zack stayed on the couch (it had a bed in it). So it was just perfect. It was walking distance to many places.

Jevin & Caitlyn are staying home this summer with a sitter (my cousin). This is the first year they have done this, previous years they were in daycare. So this has been a new experience for them. I think they are enjoying it. Although, I have now made them a daily schedule so they dont sit around and watch TV and eat all day! :) But they have been going to the pool some. But I can say that I am definitely ready for school to get back in session so they can get back into some sort of a routine! That will be great! I know my parents used to always say, I am so ready for school to start back and I used to always so NO! But now, as a parent myself, I completely understand why! :)

Anyway, the summer has been going great so far! :) But it is almost over, only one more month till school's back in session! And that will be here before ya know it! And I cant believe that Jevin will be in 3rd Grade and Caitlyn in 2nd Grade! WOW.....Seems like they were just babies! :( But they are the joys of my life! :)
