So much to catch up on!

Wow!  I feel like it is has been FOREVER since I updated my blog, even though it has just been a little over a week.  We have definitely been keeping super busy, and a lot has happened! 

First, last weekend Ava's Girl Scouts Daisy Troop had their end-of-the-year "trip."  We were really roughing it, as we stayed in the timeshare resorts at Wyndham Bonnet Creek. :-)  This was the same resort that we were at as a family just a few weeks ago, and it was even better the second time around!  This time, we explored the property a little bit more, and there was so much to do!  I believe there were about six pools, and probably a dozen hot tubs.  A splash pad, a playground, two slides, and the list goes on and on.  Ava had so much fun, and I did too!  We stayed in a two bedroom "apartment" with two other girls and their moms.  Here are all of my pictures:

She is getting really good at swimming!

The girls had so much fun dancing and swimming at night.  They stayed up until 10:30 p.m.!!

Breakfast the next morning.

Ashlynn did not want her picture taken in the morning. :-)

Eric and Silas came to pick us up on Sunday, and brought their suits for a little swimming time.

Silas loved the splash pad!

So stinkin' cute!!!

 

 

 

It was SO MUCH fun!!  On Monday it was back to reality for all of us, and it was Ava's last week of kindergarten.  The year went by so fast!  On Tuesday, her teacher  Mrs. Henry, invited all the parents to come to the classroom in the morning to watch a video of pictures that she had put together that showed all the kids throughout the school year.  At first I didn't think I could go because of the daycare kiddos, but Eric saw how disappointed I was and offered to stay home in the morning so that I could go.  What a wonderful guy!!! 

 

Then, on Tuesday evening, we were invited to Narcoossee Elementary School's Art Night because some of Ava's artwork was being displayed.  We are so proud of our little artist!!

She made a sculpture of two bees and their beehive.

The picture Ava drew and painted of a fish.

Isn't it amazing?!?!

 

 

Then on Thursday, June 6th, Ava went to kindergarten for the very last time!  She was super excited to be done with school and start her summer vacation, but I just could not believe how fast she is growing up!  Isn't that what all parents say?  It certainly is true!  Here is my "baby" on her last day of kindergarten:

What a crazy week!  We stayed busy all weekend too, as we decided to paint Ava's bedroom.  I will post some before and after pictures later this week when it is completed.  We did some yardwork, and cleaned up the pool so that we could do our first family swim of the year!  The water was a little chilly at first because of all the rain we have been getting, but it sure felt good when this weekend was so stinkin' hot!! 

 

 



Look at our cute pool boy!

Silas working hard as well!  They all jumped in pretty quick when they were finished!  Needed to cool off! :-)

 

 

That about sums it up!  It is late on Sunday night, and I need to get to bed before another busy week starts bright and early! Good night all!
