I'm a big kid now

Thats right our little Ainslee is potty trained!! NO more pull up or diaper bag. I am so excited we have been working on this for months and finally she is there. I am so happy to finally be a diaper/pull up free house. I just thought I would share the happy news.

Tyler's first day of Pre-K

Alright I know school started last week but I had to post this. Tyler absolutely loves school his first day he could not stop smiling and I think he was ready to go a half hour before we had to leave. The first picture is him at school his first day.


This is him on the third day waiting for the bus. He loves riding the bus he even wakes up (by himself) at six thirty every morning. He has never gotten up like this but he loves school so much he can't wait to go.

Swimming lessons

Tyler and Ainslee loved swimming lessons. Tyler got past his fear of jumping in and not having to hold onto someone. Ainslee learned that you need an adult around before you swim across the pool. They are growing up so fast. They loved their teacher Molly (easy to remember since it is my sisters name) she was fun and kept my wild children in line.

Little Fishes

This summer we have been going to the neiborhood YMCA. The kids love it there is a small water park and a kids pool. As you can see Ainslee looks like she belongs in the pool. They have also been taking swimming lessons I will have to put those pictures up later.

Camping and Six flags

We started off last weekend by camping about a hour from Six Flags over Georgia. We had alot of fun and the kids liked the part that we were right next to the park. We roasted marshmallows and hot dogs. We also went and played in the river at the park. We almost could have just camped out and gone home the kids had so much fun. But......


We went to Six Flags the next day and the kids LOVED it so much. We had to go see Thomas the tank engine first of course (Tyler's all time favorite). Here is us riding the Thomas train. They also had a Thomas playground and a gift shop. That was probably their favorite part of the whole trip.

Then Tyler got to ride his first big kid ride. I used to hate these things (Thanks DAD) but Tyler loved it.

Ainslee was so upset that she did not get to ride it. Shis our little dare devil!

Then we rode a few rides that Ainslee could ride like the carousel, a old timy car that Tyler drove, balloons, a boat swing thing, and airplanes.

Thomas and I did take turns riding the big roller coasters we both rode Ninja and Thomas rode Golliath. We wish that we could have ridden more but we did have fun and the kids loved it alot.

Memories tag!

A Different Kind of Tag:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together (either with just me, just Thomas, or the family). It doesn't matter if you knew us a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Thanks for playing along!

Our fourth of July!

My parents came down to visit on Thursday with two of my sisters. We all went to the beach and then to our favorite seafood restaraunt so far Tubby's Tankhouse (mmm so good). We then went to the candy stores on River street we ended up spending way more on candy then we needed to but it was so good. Then on Friday we went shopping at the mall and had our own little cookout in the backyard and cooked marshmallows over the grill afterwords.
Then on Saturday we headed to Columbia to see the Hoods. We went to the lake with their boat. They had a tube and wake board to play with. We had alot of fun then the storm came it was crazy. We tried to tie the boat down but the waves were so bad that one of the ropes broke and all the guys were out there holding on to it. It never ended up raining but it was cold and windy. On Sunday we went to church with the Hoods and had a birthday party for Brenna(Thomas' sister). We had a lot of fun and stayed busy. After our little holiday we felt like we needed a vacation though. Sorry no pictures again I need to go visit a camera shop. My mom did take some and said she would send those to me hopefully soon. When I get them I will be sure to post them.
