Dinner and the Movers

The movers could not have made our move any more complicated. They decided it was going to take 3 days to pack up our house and the best way to do that would be to come on a Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. Well, on Friday they packed up our entire kitchen. We had a few remaining food items in the freezer, but no way to cook anything! Luckily our good friends down the street took us in for a week and fed us home cooked meals every night! Thank you so much Garcia Family!!! We are so thankful for the food, but even more thankful for the extra time we were able to spend with you during our last week in South Carolina!

Surprise Going Away Party!

Kimberly had asked if we could come over for lunch one day so Cannon and the twins could have one last play date. Little did I know that she was really planning a surprise going away party for us! She had this planned long before we had even planned the Chuck E Cheese party for the twins. She was better prepared than we were, haha! Thank you so much Kimberly you are so sweet! I will always remember you as our first real friend in Summerville! And thank you so much to all of our friends that came. It was so nice to have one last play date with all of you :)

Going Away Party at Chuck E Cheese

In the weeks before our move we were so busy and felt like we were in a constant rush getting things organized and ready for the move. We were worried about trying to get together with everyone and make sure the the twins were able to say goodbye to all of their friends. Luckily all of their good friends were able to come to Chuck E Cheese to play and say goodbye! We were very blessed to have such great friends in SC. We will miss each and every one of you!

Great Aunt Peggy Comes to Town!

My Aunt Peggy and my cousin Sandy came to visit for a couple of days. It was great to have family in town especially with Brian away. They spoiled the kids with tons of goodies and clothes. Seems like every time we see Aunt Peggy the kids think its Christmas!!

Surprise Visit From Daddy!

Brian surprised us by coming home for the 4th of July weekend! The kids went crazy when they saw him. They didn't stop climbing all over him for about an hour! We took the kids to our church bbq for the 4th. They made it until about 8:30, but they were ready for bed before the fireworks show. They were able to run around like crazy, go on the jump castles, and have special Dora and SpongeBob Ice cream! On the 5th we went to the water park. Rylee decided she preferred to stay in her chair with all of her toys instead of playing in the water. Parker, on the other hand, was all about the water. He took Daddy all over the water park! I was content to sit and lounge in the sun with Rylee!

Dog Sitting

The Garcia's went on vacation so we are dogsitting their dog Ciara. The twins are used to having Andy (our Yorkie) around, but are in heaven with a big dog in the house!
