Documenting Summer 2011

Well....while we are waiting....we have been accomplishing many things for the exciting Summer of 2011! I am thankful that I can say I feel like I have accomplished everything I had intended with Bryson for the Summer. I had this idea in my head that we needed to do as much fun stuff together before Britan comes so that I don't feel guilty once she gets here and life becomes a little more complicated. So here are some of the highlights for the Summer thus far:

~Cars 2!
~Bryson's 1st season of t ball
~A mini vacation to Knoxville, TN with the Derting's
~A visit to the Chuckie Cheese and Fun Station: Double check!
~Trips to the beach included the 4th of July, which I questioned whether or not would happen
~Painting at Unique Designs
~FREE movie Tuesday's
~SEVERAL days of swimming
~AND 100's of trips to Chick Fil A for lunch!

I hope that Bryson knows I have tried very hard to make this last Summer as an only child as much fun as it could be! AND I hope he doesn't act like me when I was his age and my lovely brother, Wesley, came along......I was very angry with my mother and I wanted to send him back to where ever he came from (sometimes I still do...ha ha). Hopefully, he is prepared for the changes coming his way at least as much as I know how to prepare him for his sister!

There are also, other things that should be noted as accomplishments......the dogs had a bath today and then the 3 of us had a water hose fight....Brooks and Bryson BETTER be glad I wasn't able to participate in a normal fashion (I am a little sidelined these days)...or they both would have gone down! The Summer to do list has made its way to the trash...which means windows are cleaned, curtains are washed, closets, drawers and cabinets are all organized and behind the couches are dust free! After my little incident with the house intruder on Saturday (the black snake that somehow found its way into the house)...the car seat is in the car, Bryson's gift from Britan is purchased and wrapped, and the bags are packed and ready to be picked up for their next trip....the hospital!

I hope you are enjoying the Summer HEAT as much as I am...NOT and I hope that you and your family have been able to make many memories to cherish forever as we have! Enjoy your upcoming weekend and stay cool :) Love and Lots of Fun to You, Alysha
