Happy Birthday, Levi!

June phone pics

 We are having a fun summer so far!  I haven't got the "real" camera out much, but have some pics from my phone of what we have been up to!

The kids have fished with Daddy a few different times in the pond right across from our house.  The catch a fish almost every time they drop the line in!

Addie's catch!

 We've had lots of fun with friends!  This is Levi and Addie with Summer and Lydia

 Playing in the sprinkler

 Singing at a local nursing home with friends

 Picnic at the park!

 Pool time!

 The NC Arboretum with lots of friends!

And last but not least, a picture of the newest addition to our family...due to arrive by January 1!

Quick post

 Levi is growing up way too fast.  He just got his first bike, and caught on to how to ride it SO quickly!

 Levi holding "baby" Dylan, who is now 1.  Where does the time go?

Mother's Day

The kids (and Daddy) surprised me on Mother's Day with a delicious, hot breakfast in bed!

 My sweet kiddos

 Addie asked to pose this way for the pic

 So Levi of course had to do the same thing!

I am so thankful for Addie and Levi, and the privilege of being their mom.  I am so blessed!

End of Awana 2013

Addie and Levi both attended Awana on Wednesday nights at our church this year.  They both loved it and learned so much!

Levi completed his year as a Puggle

 And Addie finished her first year as a Cubbie

 At awards night, the kids got to go up on the stage and sing their songs and say a few verses for the parents.  Levi is apparently very scared to be on stage.  He is the one puggle who actually knew all the songs when the year started (due to Addie), but you wouldn't know it at Awards night.  He cried the whole time.

 Shy little Addie, however, did great!  She followed her friend, Addisyn over to the side of the stage, which worked out great so that we could see her!  She sang and did all the hand motions!

Random

 Here are some random pics from the end of April and beginning of May.  Enjoy!

Some ducklings were born in our neighborhood-they are a few days old here

 Addie went for her 4 year old well check up and was diagnosed with asthma.  Thankfully, it is under control!

 We were excited to finally be able to go hiking (it seems to rain just about every Saturday!), but sad that we had to bundle up this much in May.  Crazy!

 The waterfall

 I think Levi could throw rocks into water all day every day if he had the opportunity

 Addie finished preschool for the year!

 Bob had lost his ring in the ocean while we were in Florida and asked a man with a metal detector to look for it.  Much to our surprise, the man found it hours after we left and mailed it to us!

 We bought a van!

Final Magic Kingdom Photos

The rest of the day at Magic Kingdom was spent on rides and watching the parade.  Here is Levi read to ride his 1st roller coaster.  He loved it (and so did Addie!)!  He was barely tall enough to ride this one, Goofey's roller coaster.

 Waiting for the parade to begin

 Woody!

 Jessi

 Addie did this for a lot of the parade

 And this for the scary moments...such as when the beast rode by

 Dumbo!

 I remember this being my favorite ride from when my dad took me to Disney World when I was little, so we new we wanted to ride Dumbo.

 Addie was a crazy driver (even though she claimed it was a crazy car!)

 Levi was a maniac as well

 Sweet kiddos

 We took a break by taking the train around the park

 In front of the castle

 Aladdin's magic carpet ride

 Time to head back to the hotel and get some rest.  It was a very fun-filled day!
