Last Day of Kindergarten!

And just like that in the blink of an eye its the last day of kindergarten and Jackson is on to the 1st Grade!!! Jackson was excited and sad all at the same time to say goodbye to his friends but then I reminded him that SCHOOL IS OUT FOR SUMMER and on we went!!! All the kids in the class gave me hugs and a sweet gift for being their homeroom mom for the year! It was a pleasure and a treat to be in the class this year and spend time watching these sweet children grow!!! We had early release today so we took Jackson to his favorite place The Grille for lunch with Mimi!! We could NOT have gotten through this week without Mimi it was one hectic week!! Thank you Mimi so much for ALL your help!!!! And thank you Pop for letting her stay one more day!! And then our neighborhood had a great BIG bash for the last day of school!! It was so much fun!!! Jackson ran with all his buddies for over two hours! they played with water balloons and squirt guns and had lots of fun snacks! It was a GREAT last day!!! Let the Summer of 2014 Begin!!!!

SO CUTE!

Last day cue the tears!

Love this sweet boy!

Under the Sea Kindergarten program!

I may or may not have cried during this sweet little "Under the Sea" program that signified the end of Jackson's Kindergarten year! It was definitely a tear jerker to hear our little guy singing the good bye songs to all his friends! It has been a great year! However I just can't understand where this year has gone it seemed to fly by the the blink of the eye! Jackson was so so excited about this under the sea program and has been signing it to us for weeks. He did such a GREAT job and we were so proud of our little guy! He knew all the words and had some fabulous dance moves too! As I sit here blogging the night before the last day of Kindergarten for our little Jackson I am amazed at how far he has come and all the success and accomplishments Jackson has had this year! He is such a sweet boy loved by his whole class and just a ball of fun and energy with such a kind and loving heart! We could not be more proud of you Jackson!!! We love you to the moon and back!!

Walking in!

The class!

SO excited to sing!

SO happy!

Saying goodbye!

He's got the moves!

Love this sweet boy!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!

We had a great Memorial Day weekend full of fun activities and friends!! When I asked Jackson what his favorite part was he said The Beach of course mom!! Jackson loves the beach!!! Then came Sunday night where we went to the Pincus's for fun BBQ and swimming and again we all had a blast!!!! To which Jackson then told me it was another favorite part of the weekend!! And Monday Ryan had to work unfortunately so I took the kids to the mall to get out of our house and then came back and swam in the pool until the storms rolled in!! Such a nice weekend!! Love the 3 day ones!! It makes me look forward to summer break that much more!!! 6 MORE DAYS!!!

Family Beach Day and Addison's 1st time at the beach!

What a great way to kick off Memorial Day weekend!! Saturday we went to the beach with the Pincus family!! It was so much fun!!! We love the beach however it is quite the production to go so we don't go as often as we would like! But now that we have it down maybe we can go more often!! The kids all had a blast in the water and sand and sun and played so nicely together!! Jackson went "surfing" aka boogie boarding! I know Pop would definitely not agree but he had fun nonetheless! Addison was a HUGE fan of the sand she played in it and even ate some YUCK! She was so cute just playing and walking around exploring!! She wasn't a huge fan of the water but that was ok with us she still managed to have a blast! Then we took a lunch break and went to The Palm Pavilion Restaurant and it was delicious!! We were at the beach for 5 hours and Addison NEVER napped it was all too exciting and new! She fell asleep as soon as we put her in the stroller to leave but then woke up when I had to hose all the sand off and didn't fall back asleep until we pulled into our driveway! Figures! Jackson fell asleep on the drive home which he never does anymore he was exhausted! SO MUCH FUN and we will definitely be going back again soon!!!! Thanks Pincus family for a fun-filled family beach day!!!

Summertime is upon us!!

Love that it is almost summer!! We had a great day with friends on Saturday in Clearwater Beach! Jackson and Addison enjoyed playing with their friends Ellie and Addie!! Jackson was a fish and only got out of the pool to fish off the dock!! And Addison had fun exploring but wanted nothing to do with the pool which we were ok with! We had a lovely barbecue dinner outside and the big kids swam until 7:30!! Needless to say Addison fell asleep on the way home and they both slept extremely well! There is exhaustion and then their is sun and pool time exhaustion gotta love it!!!

Then Sunday rolled around and we had family fun day in our pool!! Love these beautiful sunny days!! Previously Addison has wanted nothing to do with the pool. Jackson and Ryan could go in and she just watched! Those days are now over! As soon as I got in she walked right over and jumped in which was so so cute however scary at the same time! I gave her to Ryan and immediately called an ISR instructor and we start swimming lessons on Monday!! Now that we have a pool we want to be as safe as possible!!! After we got that squared a way we all had a great time in the pool, had pop-e-cles as Addison says and enjoyed a lovely dinner outside!! Love the almost summer nights with our little family!!!
