Summer is here and Mommy is home for the next three months and we couldn't be more excited! Our summer has already been off to a great start! We are enjoying every single day together and I love it!

We've been to Mound park a few times and my school playground! They love to climb!


They love to swing! Like to go really high, well as high as I will let them!

Brother/Sister love

climbing, one of their favorite past times! :)

One pretty girl with some scraped knees! :(



Carter's silly face!

Addy swinging her baby Ella, she brings Ella everywhere!

Addy's funny face

We've already been to Kings Island a handful of times! This was the twins' first ride of the season, the silly helicopters! Jesse and I hate this ride because the line is super long, and the ride is so boring! The kids love it though! :)

So happy to be back at Kings Island!

Looking much bigger this year at Kings Island than last year! These two big kids actually rode the Beastie (which is now called Woodstock Express) and I can't believe it! It's their first REAL big rollarcoaster and THEY were the ones that said they wanted to ride it! We actually ran into one of their preschool classmates at Kings Island this night and the little boy was telling Carter and Addy that he just rode "the blue rollar coaster." As soon as we got done talking to Braden and his family, we walked away and Carter says, "Mommy, I want to ride the blue rollar coaster like Braden did." Addy agreed. I asked about 10 times if they were sure cause it's high and goes really fast, and they insisted! They didn't even blink an eye and jumped in line for it! We rode it, I rode with addy, and jesse with Carter, and we all loved it! Their faces going down the big hill were priceless, in fact, we did have to buy the photos at the kiosk booth! :) After the ride, Carter looks at me and says, "Mommy, now I want to ride Diamondback." No way son! That's a mommy ride! :) I don't even want to think about you being old enough to ride Diamondback!

I love them!

Having a great night at Kings Island!

Some guy said, "ma'am, do you want me to take all four of you in a picture?" I was like "uh sure!" I didn't even ask anyone, he came up and asked me?! I said, "You may take our picture but you better not try to steal my camera!" :)

Their absolute, hands down, favorite ride, BEETLE BUGS!

Getting ready for it to start!



Another favorite, the red airplanes! Bye Mommy!

addy is so silly! most of the time, she is being silly!




Silly faces!

The twins recently just graduated from their first year of Preschool! We went to the awards/certificates ceremony and I couldn't be more proud of my micropreemies! They were prancing around, so happy to "graduate" and have worked so hard to get to where they are today! Wow! God is so good! Here is addison coming down the aisle with her class, the blue group, Mrs. Clayton! There isn't a shy bone in this girl's body anymore! She talks to anyone and everyone, as long as she is in the mood! :) definitely a girl!

Alex and Carter waiting patiently during the preschool graduation ceremony

Addison getting her certificate from mrs. clayton! Addison was so proud of herself, it was hilarious! All of the other kids went and got their certificate and ran and sat back down. Not addison! She stood there for at least 2-3 minutes showing off her certificate to the crowd! She held it up, swayed it from side to side, to make sure everyone saw it and knew that she had graduated today! Wait to go pretty girl! Mommy is so proud of you too and I love that you are so proud of yourself!

Carter getting his certificate! Wait to go bubby! Momma's so proud of you, keep working hard! :)

We did it! We completed our first year of preschool with all of our friends! Mommy and Daddy are so proud!


Addy showing off her certificate AGAIN and Carter looking at her like, "addy, they've seen it a million times would you put it down!!!!!!!"


Clapping for themselves! :)

Mrs. Clayton with Carter, Alex, and Addison!

We love you Mrs. Clayton! This was her very first year teaching and she did such a great job! My kids loved going to preschool each day to see what new and exciting things she had planned for them! Mrs. Clayton wrote Carter a letter and told him thanks for being so compassionate, laid back, and easy-going. That's my boy! Mrs. Clayton wrote addison and told her thank you for being so friendly and having a smile on her face every single day! Awww, that's my beautiful girl, always silly and smiling! :)

after their preschool graduation and lunch celebration! :) Carter, the giant! lol

there's my silly girl again and my serious boy!

Could she be any cuter?

So big :(

I love him so much! Such a sweet boy!

We had cake and dinner with Mamaw and Papaw and Kissy and Kyle that night to celebrate preschool graduation! We are all so proud of our 1 and 2 pound babies!

This was a yummy dessert I made, yes I said, that I made! I took it to Mom's for Memorial Day and this is what it looked like BEFORE I took it to mom's and she dropped it all over the kitchen floor! :)

Memorial Day! Heading over to Mamaw's to cookout and swim! Addy said "I am the mommy." She says she's the mommy because she has sandals on, a coverup on, toes painted, and she's taking pictures! You're right baby girl, just like your Momma! :) I love it that she wants to be like me, if only this trend could continue! :)

Our first (of many) swim at Mamaw and Papaw's house, Memorial Day!

Carter and his best pal Uncle Karl!

This big boy can touch flat footed in Papaw's pool! He can just walk across in the shallow end of the pool! So crazy!

two peas in a pod!

Carter had his last baseball game this weekend! Thank God his games don't go into the summer because this game was hot enough! Wow!

Addy and papaw watching Brudder play baseball!

addison with aunt shelly! she loves shelly! Addy and Carter had their very first sleepover at someone else's house this week! They spent the night with Shelly, Carson, and Alex (well and Jeff too!) this week and had a BLAST! They didn't even want to come home! They are growing up so fast! Wow!

Carter playing the field :)

Carter and Daddy after their last game!

My two handsome boys! Love them!

The brothers after a round of golf at the Mound! Jesse, Dad, and Kyle each had on a bright orange golf shirt (unplanned of course lol) this day! Jesse changed after they played golf which is why he isn't in his orange golf attire lol. We had a family reunion at Mound Park on Saturday and the boys golfed first before lunch at noon. We had a great time!

Daddy and Uncle Karl playing at Mound Park at the Reunion

playing at mound park at the family reunion! Again, much bigger and older looking than last year's pictures from the reunion! Wish I could freeze them again! They were once frozen for about 8 months, too bad I can't freeze them now! :)



This past weekend, I threw Kristin a bachelorette/personal shower! She is getting married in 3 weeks, very soon! I can't wait for her wedding! We had a great time this weekend with all of the ladies! Allison, Shelly, Vanessa (Kyle's sister), Kristin, Me, Miranda (Kyle's sister), Natalie (Kyle's sister), and Caitlin (Kyle's cousin). We went to the Greene to eat at Brio, was going to see Bridesmaids there but it was sold out. So we came home to my house, let Kristin open up her interesting gifts, ate a pretty funny looking cake if you know what I mean, and played games until 1 in the morning! We had a great time!

The beautiful bride to be wearing her light up huge diamond engagement ring I made her wear! She was a trooper! she will be such a beautiful bride, I can't wait!

Kristin getting ready to leave for her bachelorette party!
