Pre-K or Highschool!

"Mom, seriously ... I am in Pre-K now, don't you know"

"What comes after Pre-K ... College?"

"I think I want to sign up for dance .... I saw all of the pretty girls go there"

"When can I drive a car like cousin Billy ... after Pre-K?"



Big changes for this school year. Tyson went into the GA Pre-K program (thank you GA for having such wonderful education programs) and the twins are going 3 full days a week now!

Tyson is on the public Kindergarten full day schedule preparing him for the big leap to elementary school next year. He goes 5 days a week 7:45 - 2:45. He is adjusting well and enjoying every minute. Check out his school blog site here.

The twins HAD to have backpacks like big brother ... they could fit in them but it is so cute!

It is incredible to watch them all interact at this age. Jaxson is Tyson's shadow following his every move and repeating his every word. Tyson digs it and has really developed well into the "big brother" character. They have their moments when they are all needy and we have to throw our hands in the air in realization that we cannot always please them all at once. Really, it builds independence in them and that is a huge lesson in our house right now. We are constantly checking things off the “list” … brushing teeth, getting dressed, washing hands, buckling the seat belt …  in time I am sure I will miss doing these things for them. Right now … I keep checking them off the list J

Between my preschooler who thinks he is going on 16 and terrible two's x 2 ... we are enjoying life! They are an adventure everyday ... and we are BUSY!

Keeping up w/ the Jones'

My confession ... I have the blogger blues ... I just ran out of steam ...


Between the hours Brian and I have been putting in at work ... and spending as much time with our precious kiddo's ... keeping up with the Jones' ... literally has been a task and a half.

So the camera has been coming out less, the laptop practically non-existent after work hours and we are just trying to enjoy as much of the summer as we have left.

We belong to a community with several subdivisions ... we recently located this in one of the neighborhoods we had yet to check out ... yes, a year and a half later we just found this pool.



Tyson and Jaxson ... Non.Stop!


Our little sun queen ...


Spending a lot of time at the lake with good friends!


And giving out a ton of wakeboard lessons ... look at Ryan go. First try out this season and caught on like a pro!




School starts so soon ... enjoy the rest while you can!!
