Vacation 2011

We have kinda been homebodies this year; haven't really been anywhere. We took a quick Labor Day weekend trip to Atlanta and had a great time! We only stayed one night but it was definitely worth it.
We went to the Georgia Aquarium, the World of Coca-Cola, the Atlanta LDS Temple, and the LDS bookstore.

Our trip in pictures:

 Our friend Brian and his son went with us :)

This past month we also had Michael's mom here to visit. We went to a very yummy and kid friendly cafe for lunch..it is called the Runway Cafe and it is at the Greenville downtown airport. The boys had such a great time watching the planes take off and land while they ate:

We are now ready for fall and birthdays and holidays and festivals. Our favorite time of the year!!

1st day of 1st grade!

Well, my sweet Tanner started 1st grade today :) He was so excited and was extremely happy when I made pancakes for breakfast this morning. He was in seventh heaven :) He didn't want me to walk him in to the school, he is a big boy you know?!?!? Well, I did it anyway....I needed pictures for my blog! hahaha! He is not old enough to walk in on his first day all by himself, I had to know that he knew where he was going. Here is his walk:

I hope Tanner has a fantastic day!!

Our Summer in a nutshell

It is tough being a mom, a wife, a student, and more. I guess that is my excuse for being "that blogger" who has not posted since May. Good grief! What is wrong with me? OK, here is our summer in a nutshell.
We went to Table Rock State Park and had a great time. It is so beautiful and reminds me so much of Utah but with more trees :)

Tanner went to summer camp again and had an interesting summer. He was picked on a little and didn't have as much fun as he did last year but he says he wants to go back again.

We have been to parks alot because the boys have a great time and mommy can read her book while enjoying the sunshine.

And we had a great visit from Nana (my mom) in July. She brought the boys Groucho Marks glasses and they had a ball.

Well, that is our summer....we didn't do much but what we did do, we did together and had a great time. School is starting next week and Tanner is very excited to be in first grade. I am Vice President over programs from the PTA so I will be spending alot of time at the school this year. I know, just one more thing to add to my busy life. As school starts and life gets back to normal I should be better at blogging. Plus, my favorite time of year is coming fast. Fall festivals, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthdays for everyone but Zach will occur in the next 4 months so thing blog will be a popular place.

From Baby to Big Boy

I used to have a baby at my house. His name was Zachy and he was loved and adored for his long blond hair that was as soft as silk. Well, that long blond hair got too long and Summer was coming so Zachy's mom decided to scalp him..lol

Zachy has been traded in for a sweet little boy named Zach. He is so big and is an adventurous toddler with a cute haircut. We love him unconditionally, even when he throws food on the floor during dinner and dumps every cup of liquid he finds on the floor. Isn't he precious?!?!?!?!
