Catching UP!

Hello. Sorry it's been awhile. No I haven't forgot about my blog, I just haven't found the time to update it. I have been reading my friends blogs, but just not my own. Oops!

As you can see from my previous post we did in fact go to lake Juliette this summer. We liked it so much that I decided to take the Girl Scout Troop next weekend with their parents of course. We are going swimming, eating a picnic lunch and we are going to visit Jarrell Plantation. I am excitied about going, and so are the girls.

This summer we really didn't do much. The girls both particpated in the Library summer reading program and I participated in my own summer reading program, hehehe. Any excuse I can find to read a book I take it. I love to read. I have also found out that my yougest Loves to read also. She is a good reader, both of my girls are good readers.

We also took the girls with a couple of their friends to Six Flags over Georgia, which they loved. I am not a roller coaster person, but I did enjoy the water rides and just watching the kids have a good time. It was an excausting day, but it was worth it. I didn't get many pics from the trip , even though I took my camera. I did take a picture of Skull Island, which is a water park inside of six flags, the kids enjoyed it and so did mama and daddy.

Also during the summer we lost a dear family member. Our little dog duke,

He was accidetaly ran over. The kids and I were heart broken. So we went in search of a new doggie. Which was very hard to do because you can't replace a beloved dog with another one. We searched for weeks and we ended up getting lucky. A dear friend of ours daughter had a full blooded border collie female who was a year old. They did not have time to spend with her. So they gave her to us, what luck!

Her name is ......

This is Bella at the lake. She is a water dog, she loves to play in the water and loves the girls. She is such a good dog. We are really happy with her. She allready knows how to shake, sit and stay. She can be trusted to be let off the lease, and she will come back to you when you call her. She loves to go in the truck or car with us. We couldn't ask for a better dog.

Now on to the Girls, Our youngest Graduated from Kindergarten in May. ( She started 1st grade in August) They did a remake of high school musical, except they called it Primary School Muscial. She was so excitied, she had a special part in it. She got to lip sink to the song " the start of something new" With her little friend who just happened to be a boy. lol! Her daddy and I had some fun with her on that. It was so cute. Here is a picture from the musical, if I put the girls pictures up on the web you might see alot of fuzzy, discolored, back of the head shots,etc.. of the girls.

As for my oldest she had to go to summer school becuase she did not pass the crct. She tried her best, which is all that her dad and I have ever asked of her. So she ended up in the end having to repeat 3rd grade. Which we have been trying ever since she was in the 1st grade to have her held back. It is a good thing for her, she can have an extra year to catch up.

So as you can see our summer was busy. And now with the kids back in school, I am at home. Keeping up with the mountains of laundry and dishes. Girl Scouts also started back up so I had to get all of that stuff ready to go for this year.

Well that's about it for now. I will post again soon.
