"First Day of School, First Day of School........"

Jacob had his first day of Kindergarten on Wednesday the 26th. He had a great first day and he is enjoying going to school. We made it through the first week, it was only three days but we still made it. I think that I did pretty well with him going to school. I only cried for a minute when he got on the bus and when it drove away. After he got on the bus we drove over to the school and watched him get off the bus from the street. He was so cute, just hopped right off and into the school he went. He's very excited because he has some friends in his class, one of our neighbors' and a boy that went to his preschool. He is really enjoying riding the bus. It's the cutest thing, when he comes home in the afternoon it's him, Lauren and Johnny (who is now in 1st grade) all sitting in the same seat together. He brought home some homework on Friday and had to do it as soon as we walked in the front door. I just hope he stays this ambitious about homework through the rest of his school career. Now onto the pictures.........

Peach Pickin'

First they rode on the Cow Train and then we were off to go Peach Pickin'...............

The end result a very heavy bag of peaches. They were oh so yummy though. We all had a great time, even though it was hotter than heck out. As soon as we were done picking we left for home. That afternoon Joe and I went out for our own little date night. We had dinner and then went and saw The new Harry Potter movie. We have been busy as usual, we did the peach picking actually a couple of weekends ago, right after my last post. I just thought I'd share the pics still even though it was two weeks ago. Gradually I will catch up with sharing all our adventures of the Summer. We have also since we to a Nats game, been to the pool twice with friends and done some running around school shopping. This weekend (tomorrow) we are taking the kids on a last minute surprise trip to the beach, just a one night stay. I have to be back a t work on Sunday. I will definitely have lots of pictures from that trip to share I am sure. Just a good note to end our Summer on, nothing like a beach trip even if it is short.

In other news, with Summer ending this means new beginnings......Our Big Boy Jacob is starting Kindergarten in less than a week. I can't believe it he has grown up so fast. He's super excited and can hardly wait. He is so happy that he gets to ride the bus to school. More to share on his adventures I am sure. Hope everyone is enjoying their last days of Summer. Until next time.......

Fun with Friends....

On Tuesday this week we went over to our friend's house and the kids had a great time playing on their big water slide. We finally had good enough weather for them to play out on the slide for a few hours. We had been trying to get them all together to play on the slide for a couple of weeks but everyday we had planned for it it ended up raining. Again our weird Summer weather. They all had such a good time, they really didn't want to stop but it was getting too hot and it was lunch time. Jenna even had a ball this time. When the kids first went on the slide on the fourth of July she only went down it twice. This time she went round and round we even had to tell her more than a few times to stop cutting in line in front of all the boys. On to the pictures.......Only a few, but a few is better than none at least I remembered my camera this time. : )

Jenna hitting the bottom... Jacob taking it a little sideways

Gotta love those legs, She flew down the slide so fast.

This weekend is going to be a busy weekend for us. I am sure I will have lots of pics to post after the weekends over and all settled down. Tomorrow we have a little running around to do in the early afternoon. Then tomorrow night we have our annual Light the Night kickoff party and it's at Nationals Stadium again. Go Nats! We will have our party and then onto the game, they are playing the Arizona Diamond Backs. On Saturday Jacob has his last Saturday game and then maybe Mommy and Daddy are going to get to go to the movies to see the new Harry Potter movie since we haven't got to see it yet and Nana's back home now. Nana has something fun planned for Jacob and Jenna on Sunday after church and Daddy will be going to see his friend Brandon race. I of course will be at work and it's going to be a early day for me...start time 6:30 a.m. oh and did I mention it's TAX FREE WEEKEND. Yeah it's going to be crazy busy at work this weekend. Needless to say we will all be busy and like I said I am sure I will have lots of pics to share. Have a great weekend all.........

One Month and Counting.....

Hi all! I know it's been forever since we have had an update but I have tried to update but was experiencing some problems with uploading pictures to blogger. So here we are a month and a half later. We have managed to stay pretty busy this summer. As you can see we have done a little bit of everything. Lots of water activities when the weather has permitted. We have had lots of plans to spend more time in the water but our weather hasn't been our typical Summer weather. Starting from the top we have went to the park with friends, Jacob of course has had T-ball practice and is now playing games. Daddy and Jacob went and watched Brandon race, then there was fireworks in the park on the 3rd of July, and on the fourth of July we went our neighbor's for our annual 4th of July celebration during this time we had also our annual visit from our niece Alyssa. Then like I said Jacob's T-ball game started, then we made a short trip up to Hershey, PA we visited Hershey Park the first day in which the kids loved the water portion of the park. We spent most of the time at the park in the water, the weather turned out really good the first day we were there. Our second day in PA we visited Chocolate world, we watched the Really Big 3D Show and went on the trolley tour around the town. Next the kids went to a birthday party at Kidz Play here in Winchester for some friend's, then for one week Jacob had Vacation Bible School in which he loved. He had a lot of fun and made some new friends and had some fun with some old ones too. While Jacob was at VBS Jenna and I frequented the park. Next we went to a friend's house for a BBQ, again the kids played in some more water having a ton of fun with their friends. Then there was Jacob's T-ball Pool Party that last all of 45 minutes until a huge storm came. Next we went to a really cool water park/pool in the next county over called Franklin park. The kids absolutely loved it there. I have no pictures from there because I forgot my camera, oops. The following week we went to another water place in WV with friends again. More T-ball in between of course, we are averaging one game during the week and one Saturday game. We only have a week and a half of T-ball left though. Last but certainly not least we went to the Drive-in with friends tonight. So there you have it our last month and a half. Like I said busy, busy.

Summer is going by so fast. We have less than a month and our baby will be starting Kindergarten. I can hardly believe it. I have his school supply list and have bought everything on it except the Playdoh. It is actually a lot shorter than I thought it was going to be. Jacob is really excited about starting school. About a week after Jacob starts school Jenna will be returning to Preschool. Which she is also looking forward to. In September we will be making a trip out to California for a business/personal trip. Daddy has an annual meeting thingy and it's in Anaheim this year. Right across the street from you know where.....Disneyland. We are going to take the kids along with my parents and possibly my brother to Dland for one day. We are also planning on seeing my Grandma and some friends. Most of our time there is planned for, LOL. The kids can hardly wait to see Grandma, Grandpa and Uncle Matt and the rest of the gang and also to go to DLand. Hope everyone else is having a great Summer. We are thoroughly enjoying ours. The weather could be a little bit better but why complain. It'll eventually come around, right? Again sorry about the long delay I am going to try and be better at updating now that I know what the problem was. Till next time......
