Taking time away to play!

Well if you haven't noticed, I have not posted anything new for ohh about a month. Well, I have good reasons...

1. I have been busy accomplishing my goals!! Ha Ha

2. I have went on vacation.

3. I have been recovering from vacation.

4. Now my kids are sick.

The list could go on but I will spare you the continuation! First things first...here is a recap of the last few months...

Andrew and Alli were in their school play "The Wizard of Oz" in May. They were Munchkins. They were the cutest little Munchkins up there! Especially talented too. Andrew could pick his nose and sing all at the same time! (We are working on that one!)

Next up...T-ball. We went to Andrew's last game right before we left for Utah on Vacation. The rain was coming down but the kids played on.

We were all watching under an umbrella! The car was just too far away!

Next up...Graduation! Yes I am now the proud mother of not one but two graduates! Well okay they just graduated from Pre-Kindergarten! They were so cute and they each got to sing at the microphone. They are such cuties!

Okay next up...finally a well deserved Vacation...We went to Grandma Rushing's in Utah to some much needed pool side relaxation. It was a long drive but we made it. We were able to go to Lagoon and play all day, we visited family and friends, and we played a good amount of Puerto Rico and Ticket to Ride! Here are some pics of our fun va-k!

Ty really loved the water! He would point from his stroller at the pool and say "Uhhh." Which means "get me in the pool please!" We had a blast swimmin' in Grandma's pool.

We also were able to go to Provo and visit BYU's campus. The kids were so excited to see the Y on the mountain. Andrew's words were "Look there is a Y...now we need to find the B and the U." And of course when we were traveling thru SLC we did find the U on the mountain! So all we need now is the B!

Okay next up...Lagoon! We spent the whole day there. We were so grateful to David and Melissa for taking Ty for the day. With 100 degree weather we were glad that he got to spend it nice air-conditioned place! As for the rest of us...we spent the day lathering up in sunblock, getting butterflies the tummy, and cooling off just a bit at the water park! This was Andrew and Alli's first experience at a amusement park. They loved it!

We closed the park down and this is what the kids looked like at about 11:45pm that night.

We had a lot of fun. Playing with cousins and spending time with Grandma & getting some good family time in! So now it is time to get back to the real life! Enjoy your summer Vacations!

Love,

the Rushings
