My birthday

Thanks Adam and the kids for a wonderful 29th (actually 33rd birthday)! It was pirate themed, with party hats, cake,and a crown just for me!

Code of a Champion

Aidan had his first karate tournament Saturday, and for those of you who know what a struggle Aidan has, especially with performing and crowds (distraction); you will understand how exciting it was for him to win 1st place in his group for Code of a Champion kata. We are so proud (I cried a little) and hopefully this will keep him motivated to continue to practice and work hard.

4th of July at Misty and Justin's house

It is so weird that I am old enough now that it is my generation that tends to host the family get togethers. We had lots of fun at Aunt Misty's and Uncle Justin's house. The kids were in love with Justin from his recent trip to Hampton. And as usual Kara wanted only her Uncle Joey to hold her.

Unfortunately my sister Meri and her family left the day after we arrived. We all went to Cracker Barrell together for breakfast (I am sure the wait staff was so happy to have all of us there!)

Birthday Party

The next few days I will post our stay at my parents' house. Starting off with a birthday party for Aidan, Kara and my niece Hailee.

End of the year wrap up

So, we have been going to Busch Gardens every other weekend and the kids love it!

The school year is about over for us, Aidan will be in 2nd grade next year (wow) and Georgia will be going to prek4. Kara will probably go to a mother's day out in the fall.

This summer we will try to stay busy by going to Busch Gardens, local parks and the movies every week and will also head to Covington the 1st week of July. Aidan and Georgia will stay the 2nd week of July with Maw maw and Paw Paw.

I have been pretty busy with my intern for Catholic Charities, and am really loving it. I will finish up at the end of June and will also take one other class the month of June. I made straights for my first semester back in school and am really excited. Adam has been really busy at work and travels every 4-5 weeks. He is off this week and I will take advantage of that by having a spa day to celebrate mother's day and few weeks late, but so worth the wait.

Ballet Recital

Georgia had her end of the year Ballet/Gymnastics Recital on Thursday. Adam actually was able to make it to this one. She was so excited to see us and she was too adorable. She kept saying "I am so good at this," she does not have any problems with being too modest!
