Summer lovin… had me a blast

Here are some pictures of Nana and Grandpa’s visit!   We had fun in our “ghetto pool”! 

   

A great visit...

We had a great visit with Nana and Grandpa last week!!! Makenna especially loved having them here, and her and Shane both had great fun with them! I wish we lived near them. I have a couple pictures to post, but I can't seem to find the camera cord, so hopefully I will have them up later today.

Back to another busy week for us full of therapy and make-up swimming lessons for Makenna (since it got canceled last week).

Still can't wait for the August issue of Military Spouse Magazine to come out!

Blog revamp.

Its been a while since I’ve posted (sorry!)  But I really want to try doing this regularly again! 

Since my last post, we had a nice little side trip to South Carolina, to visit Mike’s cousin Donna and family.  Right now Mike’s parents are visiting and we love having them here!!!

Check out this old picture I found: 

So cute!

Mike playing bass

Thought this post was appropriate for all you traveling types. This is The Police - "Man in a Suitcase" played by me on my cheap guitar and $10 amp.

Guess who's a big girl now :)

Yesterday, Makenna had to have TWO baby teeth extracted!! Her bottom permanent teeth are coming in and her baby teeth weren't budging. I took her to the dentist to check it out and the dentist said it would be good to take them out. She did so great at the dentist! She's in a little pain now though. And its also cute hearing her talk with a lisp. LOL

I got a free photoshoot session from my friend Brandi (who did Makenna's ballet and our Christmas photos) of Shane. A sneakpeak of him is on my facebook, if you wanna check it out! He did great at the session. I can't wait to see how the rest of them turn out!

Father's day weekend...

We spent another weekend in FL, for Father's day this past weekend. Mike and his friend Timmy did a 2K surf paddle to benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma society. It was a blast!









Makenna also finished Dance Camp this past week. She had a great time and made some new friends :)

She LOVES to swim!


He LOVES the pool!

lots o' updates...

Sorry it's been so long since I've updated...It has been a crazy busy summer!! We are busy everyday and weekends we seem to always be gone. We just got back from a weekend at Ft. Walton beach visiting Jamie, my sister's hubby. We had so much fun!

Jamie was staying in a nice 3 bedroom suite, and of course Makenna had a blast in the pool. The beach unfortunately was full of seaweed, so we only went one day. I also got to see my friend Pam who lives there.

What a weekend!

We had a great time hanging out with Mike's cousin Donna and visiting Mitch and Shelly over at Satellite beach this Memorial Day weekend!! Makenna and Shane both had a BLAST, and loved the beach and the pool so much! Shane was getting very brave in the ocean! He had so much fun and I loved hearing him laugh and seeing him smile so much! Makenna did really good swimming- I was wondering if she had remembered how from last summer, but she picked it right back up.

This week will be busy for Mike at work..he's on 12 hour shifts and very busy. I will have to post pictures of the weekend later, because he is in the room sleeping right now (and the computer with the pictures are in the room)

Cool Dude

Can't wait for the holiday weekend!! Tomorrow we are leaving after Mike gets off of work and We are going to the Cocoa Beach/Patrick AFB area. Mike's cousin Donna is gonna go with us and we are meeting old friends Mitch and Shell y. Should be fun! Here are some pics of Shane getting ready having fun with sunglasses!

Makenna's Preschool graduation

Makenna graduated from preschool today! Hard to believe she will be in Kindergarten this year. I know everyone says it but wow, this year has flown by! The ceremony was really cute. Her school really goes all out!
I am still trying to upload her ballet recital too- hopefully i can get the video up soon!



Here she is saying "when I grow up, I want to be a princess"




With her "diploma"






Showing us her various artwork


With her daddy :)

Makenna's first ballet recital!

I have been trying for the last 2 days to post a video of Makenna's performance! I hope it works this time!

Makenna did AWESOME in the recital!!! She was not shy at all, she smiled so big during the performance! I wish you could have been there!

Shane is doing much better. The doc did mention again that he needs to get his tonsils out fairly soon, because like Makenna's, they are very large for his age. Still waiting on the call from his doc for his neurology appointment and also need to get some bloodwork done.

May updates...

Ok.. so my goal is to start blogging at least 2 or 3 times a week again! I've been neglecting this blog and it makes me sad :(

Here are Makenna and Shanes 2010 school pictures!




This past week Makenna has been busy with rehearsing for her ballet recital this Saturday! Wish you all could make it!
