WE DID IT ALL
So we are back from our wonderful, fantastic, marvelous, fun filled vacation. We saw princesses and fairies, we went on roller coasters and tea cups, we ate ice cream and sushi, we saw T-rex in an ice cave, we built sandcastles and swam, we rode in a car and golf cart, we jumped on trampolines and did zip lines...I am telling you there is hardly anything that we did not do on this trip. It was exactly what the Dr. ordered. As we get back into our routine here and the car unpacked I will blog more and upload the pictures. Here is one from our last night on the beach...thank you to everyone who made the trip outstanding! More to come...

A LOT can happen in a week...
So we have had a bunch of changes here in a week's time.
1) Kaitlyn was just accepted into a charter school here, which we think is great news. The class sizes are really small and it has a language and technology focus. The school goes through 5th grade and then she will feed into the normal middle school. Another good thing is that Addison and Jacoby are able to go there as well now without having to go through the whole process all over again. Way to go Kate!
2) Brent has become an independent contractor over the weekend with his huge efforts in remodeling our downstairs bathroom. I don't know if you can really call ripping out all the old stuff remodeling, but we certainly are moving in that direction. However, right now we are making do with cement floors and a non-existent shower....it is really exciting though as we had carpeting in our bathroom before and I am sure you can imagine what that was like after 15 years of the previous owners using it....YUCK!!!!!! I will take the cement floors any day :)
3) Addison has officially learned how to not only skip, ride her bike, but count to 20 in Spanish....the kid is just simply amazing. I would love for a day to just get into her mind to see how it works because on one hand she can't put away her shoes to save her life but then on the other hand from going to a class at the library she can walk away and tell me tons of stuff in Spanish! I call her my little sleeper because just when you think you have her figured out she will surprise you with something new....gotta love it though!
4) Jacoby is sitting up and still as wonderful and happy as ever. What a doll baby...seriously I cannot get enough of that boy! He loves sticking out his tongue right now...which today I let it lick just a little bit of my sherbert...believe me he stuck it out so quickly again and laughed it was so much fun to see how quickly his mind worked. He is constantly entertained by his sisters which I guess makes my job a little bit easier!
Alright my time to jot down some notes is over as the dinner hour is fast approaching.....love to you all......Oh the video is of Jacoby (thanks Ryan for getting me in gear to figure this out)...

Goodbye Preschool, Hello Kindergarten
Kaitlyn please come down and grab your diploma
Yeah, she is so proud....we are so proud!
Little Sissy is so proud too! So was little brother, but it was difficult to get a picture with him while at the program...
Our little munchkin is finally done with all the preschool....we even extended it one year....gotta love how quickly they grow up whether you want them to or not! I will post more pics and tell you more about the day as it was action packed with surprises galore, but right now we are headed out to enjoy the exceptionally sunny Saturday.
