Where to begin?

I am so far behind on blogging that i don't even know where to begin. Sooo, i will recap the summer for you! It was a busy one with trips every week to the big pool (where i actually didn't get a single picture! Gasp!) as well as some trips to Wilmington to see the grandparents. There was plenty of pool time at Nanny's though & by the end of the summer, the kids were little fish! Jackson has been super confident in the water since last summer, but this year, Eli began to catch up some!


This summer, we also went to see Toy Story 3, where i bawled my eyes out at the end. Something about Andy going off to college & giving his toys away really hit me hard! Rebecca told me i was a nutjob, but i told her that after seeing Toy Story 1 & 2 a GAZILLION times with the boys, that i was just a tiny bit emotionally invested with the characters. Can't help it! Here are the kids after the movie.... We set off sparklers this year & watched the neighbors fireworks at Nanny's over the 4th of July..... I still can't believe that my boys actually held a sparkler.... that was a huge milestone because they are timid about these kind of things!


We got a LOT of good cousin time in with Emma & Leah... It was a great summer! I can't believe that in 2 days, Jackson will be starting 1st grade! Our summer just flew by!
