How time flies

the view from our private cabana
 
 
 
Oh my how time sure flies by when we are busy. So since I haven't been very faithful about keeping my blog updated lately I will do one big post to get all of you caught up. to start off with two weeks after we got back from vacation at the beach I went to Silverwood with my parents and sisters family. The weekend we went the kids were at their dads and David had to work so it was just me going along with them. My sister reserved a private cabana at the water park and we had a blast. it was defiantly nice to have a place saved for us and not have to worry about people being in our stuff. Most of Saturday was spent at the water park followed by a couple of hours at the amusement park then a great family dinner. Me and the parents stayed at a hotel overnight and went back to the park the next day with a good family friend and his little family. Annie and I were buddies that day and I like to think she had a good time.

me and mom. We had so much fun!!!
 
The next week after going to silverwood the kids started school. we were lucky enough to have Wyatt for the first day of school. The kids had parent teacher interviews at the beginning of the week where they got to meet their teacher and see the classroom then they started school on Friday. After Wyatt's interview on Thursday we brought him home with us and in the morning I took both of them to school. for all of you who did not know Wyatt is attending Jefferson Elementary where payten is attending. They are in separate classrooms next door to each other but are in the same reading group and get to see each other at recess and lunch. I think it is good for them to get to see each other often. back to the first day of school, we loaded up the car and headed to school Friday. I took lots of pictures of the day so we can all remember it(of course). Our two babies are in kindergarten!
 
 
 
 
 
 
payten has been playing baseball for the last month and is loving it. She is a little slow but she has never played baseball before so I think she is doing great picking it up. Papa and grandma have been able to come to most of her games which she couldn't be happier about. Baseball is almost over, she has two more games to go then the season will be over. Once baseball is over she will be starting gymnastics along with Allyxis. Along with that Wyatt will be starting hockey again in a couple of weeks. The kids keep me plenty busy:)


 
 Last week we celebrated our first year together and to celebrate David planned out a whole night on Saturday without me helping plan it. He even picked out what I was to wear and got all dressed up himself. He looked so handsome in his dress clothes! first he took me out to a winery for a little wine tasting then out to olive garden for dinner. David doesn't care for pasta so we never go their which is why it was such a surprise to get to eat there. He even enjoyed the food he ate (yes I will never forget that he said that).  then we went home, watched a movie and cuddled. It felt great to have a night just for us so we could reconnect.

Look how handsome my man looks all dressed up! I think I have only seen him like this a couple of times. we need to do this more often!!!
 
Yesterday was the last day of our no kids weekend so we thought we would make the most of it. David slept in while I went to church and served in the nursery. it has been a while since I served in the nursery at church and it really felt good and was lots of fun. I defiantly have a heart for kids. Following church we loaded up our handguns and the 22LR and headed to the range. We were their for a good 2 hours. David was impressed with me and how well I shot. We got to work breaking in our new guns and I found I love David's 1911. We also found a left handed bolt action rifle for me for a really good price. once it is off holding at the store it is mine. yay!!
