Went to Busch Gardens with the kids last week & had a blast. The only awful thing about the day was that it was soo hot. But a nice trip to Elmo’s Splash Zone took care of that. I totally got into my bathing suit right with the kids & splashed around. Yeah I got some looks from a few adults but it was so freaking hot and well Rachel wouldn’t go in the water unless I carried her and she needed it. In fact she was so hot that she laughed and splashed in the water! No crying!!!!

So besides that we’ve just been living our lives. We did just buy a 97 Town & Country van. I love it. I now have a vehicle  on Monday & Wednesdays when Charles is in class. My parents took me out to celebrate this past Wednesday – we had lunch at Olive Garden.  And that reminds me Troy had his first fit in public. I was so embarrassed. He didn’t want to sit down for anything. Finally the server brought over a few of those mint candies and that got him in his chair. Then shortly after we got bread sticks and that made him happy. Rachel did well but I totally expected her too. This Sunday we are thinking of taking the kids to the water park with my sister. Its closing soon since school’s starting back up.

& before we go I just have to share at least one scrapbook page.

I’ve been on a scrapping kick again.

Besides that we are doing good. Today is Charles first day of college. He had to leave here at 6:30 and his first classes hasn’t even started yet. Troy learned how to spell his name yesterday and its soo cute to hear him spell it. Rachel is a little climbing machine. She likes to climb up onto the couch and then someone has to help her down and then she climbs right back up.

Some updates on the family: Charles starts college next Wednesday. Troy is becoming more verbal every day & now when he talks you can understand 90% of what he says. Some times he talks too fast (like his mommy) and then you can’t understand him.  We taught him his name yesterday & its so cute when he says it.  He thinks he is 3 and will be 4 in December.. Yeah nice try on giving yourself a extra year. Rachel is doing great. It rained a little yesterday when we went to Wal-Mart and she didn’t scream bloody murder when the rain hit her. She whined a little bit but that’s it. She’s now able to climb onto the couch and our bed. She likes to hold onto the side of her crib & jump up & down on her mattress. Crazy fearless girl! Pumpkin is doing great. I feel them move a LOT every day so that’s a good sign! I hardly ever felt Rachel move.

Last night at dinner I went around the table and asked Troy what everyone’s name was. He got his name, Rachel’s & daddy’s right. But when I asked him who I was he said ” A bear”. Nice right? So I just had to scrapbook that.

This kit is perfect for all sorts of projects whether they are summery, beachy, girly or whatever you like! Includes 12 background papers and 44 elements.

& my two layouts
