Jersey Shore (75 degrees)

Here I am once again, months behind. I figure if I can get something on the blog, occasionally, then I’m not doing half bad. At least this way there is usually lots to update on versus just giving little tidbits. Currently, we are in New Jersey for Scott’s cousin’s wedding. This was the first time the kids flew another airline besides Southwest. It was a 3 ½ hour flight and they were thrilled that a little screen pops down and we got to watch the movie “17 Again”. They did really well, or at least I was told they did really well. We flew with Gammy and Pops on Continental and we had five seats together and one separate. I’ll take that solo seat please! The kids each got to sit with a grandparent and enjoyed the flight. I enjoyed watching the movie and some rare reading time. In case you want to know I am reading Tori Spellings, Stori Telling. It’s really been a great book, hello 90210! I must confess that I really enjoy her reality series too. If you don’t watch it, well you should. It’s hysterical and lots of fun to watch, especially if you are from the 90210 generation.

Okay, so back to what’s going on with us. Carson is just finishing baseball and I must say he really has not enjoyed the season at all. Its machine pitch and he has had a hard time hitting the ball, he gets very frustrated. He finally hit the ball for the first time last week and of course we left for vacation and he hasn’t had another chance yet. Hopefully he’ll start to enjoy it again once he realizes it’s not as hard as he thinks.

We’ve been to Corpus a few times already and have had a great time. Scott went on his annual Father’s Day fishing tournament with all his buddies from San Antonio. He had a great time and I’ll try and find a picture to post. I believe I need to start a Mother’s Day trip of some kind, anybody else interested? Let me know. The beach has been great this year and the water is beautiful. Here are a few great pictures of the kids.

Both of the kids have had birthdays, Carson is now seven and Kynlee is ten. She has officially reached the ‘tween’ years. She’s growing up so fast. She went to church camp by herself for the first time this year. She had a blast and really grew spiritually during that week. What a blessing, God is great. Carson wanted to go, but I think he’ll have to wait until he’s ten. I think that will be our age for camp. Kynlee graduated from 4th grade and here is a picture of her on that special day with two of her best friends. It seems there is a graduation for everything now. What happened to only high school and college graduations?

I started this update while in New Jersey and will add another one as soon as I can. I have some really great pictures from our trip and the wedding so stay tuned.... I know what you're thinking..... not going to happen anytime soon!!! I might surprise you. Enjoy the summer!!
