Vacation, Ballgames, etc.

We made it back from a great vacation in the mountains of Blue Ridge, GA. What a great time we had! We biked, played video games, swam in the lake, commandeered a paddle boat, went shopping and ate pizza and ice cream in downtown Dahlonega, cooked and ate as a family every night, spent quality time in the hot tub, and took some good family portraits (thanks, Alaina). I'll post the portraits tonight. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for an awesome vacation!

Ball season is over. Kinda sad. Kinda happy. Sad because the boys were having so much fun at it, and we were, too. Jackson missed the last two ballgames when we were on vacation, and his team did not make it to the City Tournaments. Tyler's team made it to the tournaments but got put out in the first game against the Indians last night. Tyler is upset that he did not make the All Star team this year, but both of my boys are all stars to me! Gymnastics is over until the fall, so now we can just focus on having fun this summer and enjoying the outdoors when it's not too hot.

Baseball will start again this fall so the boys will be given a choice between baseball and soccer. Lily will be given a choice between gymnastics and soccer. Both boys will be going to school at Walter Jackson Elementary, and Lily will be attending Danville Baptist Pre-School half-days beginning this fall. Gosh, they are growing up so fast!

Brandon and I have decided not to go to Cabo in September since we are saving for a house. We are going to Orange Beach for 5 days instead. Much cheaper, still a beach! We plan to just chill out, eat out, shop for school clothes at the outlets, and enjoy each other's company without children. Totally looking forward to it!
