Catching Up

We did a lot more this summer than what Mommy has put on our blog!
We were just SO busy and never sat still for long enough to let her update it!

So, in a nut shell...

We went to Myrtle Beach, SC!
We saw most my cousins and Mimi and Papa!
We rode a VERY tall Ferris Wheel!

AT THE BEACH

Some of my cousins and Uncle Tim!


ON THE FERRIS WHEEL!
It was all enclosed and air conditioned inside each seating compartment!

Then we went to the North Carolina Aquarium at Fort Fisher!
We saw a lot of ocean creatures, including SHARKS!!

AT FORT FISHER

Then we sold our "KILEY" van! :(
But not before documenting the special moment and place where Kiley was born!
Bye Bye van.

THE VAN





It was a great summer! School is back and we're enjoying it!
Love you ALL!

First Days of School 2011

First Day of second grade for me! Ms. Burke is my teacher and I
think she is really nice! Here I am ready to go!

Kiley's first day (well this was orientation) of preschool!
Ms. Brenda is her teacher!
Her friend Emerson came along too!
Kiley is sooooo excited!

Sorry it's sideways! Listen to Kiley's words about preschool!
(It's gonna be AWESOME!)

Happy 2011 School year everyone!
love the girls

It's a Big Big Deal!!

I swam for the first time last week!!
The day before I used my floaty and barely wanted to get my face wet...then SPLASH!!
I went for GOLD and SWAM!!!
Mommy, Daddy and Kiley were soooo proud of me!
(Mommy actually teared up!)

Here's a video that shows me swimming the very next day!

and I've been swimming ever since!!!
Love ya'll!

Happy 3rd Birthday Kiley!

Happy birthday to my 3 year old sister Kiley! She had a princess play date with a bunch of her best buds! They decorated their own princess crowns and cookies!

I was home from school for spring break so I got in the action too! My friend Ava came over to keep me company! We all wore our prettiest princess outfits! So cute!

Even cousin Luke joined in the fun!

The celebrations continued all through the week!

Grandpa Pond came to town to give Kiley a birthday hug! GG came down, along with Uncle Thom and cousin Mark, Jodi and Jason! It was Uncle Thom's birthday too!




AND...

Daddy, Mommy, Me and Kiley went to a Mudcats game! Kiley got a great birthday baggie full of goodies! We even got to see and hug Muddy!

What a grrrrrrrreat time!

Kiley's new favorite thing to do since turning 3 is riding her bike and ringing her very own bike bell from GG!

Ding Ding!
