soooo. i've been slackin' a little bit on the ole bloggin' this summer. sorry 'bout that. i decided to condense it all into one BIG FAT post. to start the summer off, you may know this already- but caleb graduated from kindergarten. i'm so thankful for how God blessed us this year with a fantastic teacher and super friends. it's made it so much easier to think about first grade without the same amount of stress i had last year.
we went with the shivers girls to the zoo. always a blast with those girlies :)
we: built card houses, got a little muddy, made lego castles, shot our bows and arrows, and visited the disney world of hunters- bass pro shop.
since the boys took swim lessons this summer we've been fish. after swimming yesterday C said, "mama, is all we're going to do this summer is swim?" i thought,
dangit kid. what more do you want from me!! but what i said was, "yep."
we visited my fam in tuscaloosa over the 4th of july and went to lake lurleen. you have to say lake lurleen really redneck to get the full effect. lake luuurrrrleeeeeeeen. i love lake lurleen. as a matter of fact, have y'all heard my opinion on state parks in alabama vs. mississippi? well here's the short version: alabama has the best state parks. the end.
while we were at meme and pops the boys spent a lot of time swimming and catching bugs. since you know, all we're gonna do this summer is swim :)
we also got a chance to visit the mcwane center in b'ham. if you've never been it's worth the trip. these boys had a good time! it's kind of like a cross between our children's musuem and the natural science museum. plus they had a dora and diego exhibit that collin was obsessed with.
C had his end of the year baseball party at the m-braves game. he and his team mates got to have a milk mustache contest and say the pledge with the players out on the field.
and finally- she really needs her own post- but i'm SURE there will be more pictures to come- brielle claire goza made her appearance on july 16 at 5:46 in the morning. me and her aunt jenn jenn got up bright and early to be there and were so thrilled to meet her. love at first sight for sure!!
i think that's about it. the condensed version of our summer. school is only two weeks away. not sure what i think about that. oh well, it's coming whether i'm ready or not!!
