Fun stuff!

We have been working on Mimi's letters.  What better way than to read Chicka Chicka Boom Boom, right?  So one night during dinner, Mimi decides she needs to go to the restroom.  And she decides to sing - with the door open- while she was in there.  So we got a full serenade of the Chicka Chicka song while the rest of us ate.  Funny video...

 Well, foot ball season is here but her cheerleader outfit does not fit so well anymore - so we needed a skirt under it :)

 Knight/Captain America Mimi!

 We got to go eat lunch with Hank at school!  We sat on the stage in the cafeteria and got wave at ALL his friends as they walked by!

 All dressed up to go to work with Daddy since Mommy had a meeting to go to.

 Funday at Area 51!  Free games and bounce houses and food!

 And characters dressed up.  Hank requested the picture with Wonder Woman :)

And the Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs truck...Mimi and Hank are running with the rest of the gang!

School Days and Weekend Stuff

 Grandparents/Friends Day at school.  Since we don't have grandparents nearby...Daddy went as the friend for the morning activities!

 Princess Merida striking a pose

 Pool is still open and it has been HOT!  Glad we can still swim on the weekends!

 Hank LOVES taking pics by himself now....of himself...

 Touch a Truck Day with Jeff and Bryson!

 Gotta get Hank cleaned off...

 Hank and the GA State University Mascot

 Hank the truck driver...

 Mimi waiting for Hank to get out of school on a rainy day.  She loves changing the stations and pushing any buttons she can!

 Very busy in her kitchen.  She LOVES the Food Network and The Chew!

Naptime-needs her privacy :)

Hank's case of the giggles...

Just a little video that I hope makes you smile or even laugh as much as it makes us!

Happy Birthday Daddy and Happy 1st Day of Kindergarten Hank!

 Happy Birthday Daddy!!!!!!!! (it was yesterday).  All decorations chosen by Hank and Mimi...

 We had Monsters Inc hats, Star Wars plates, Toy Story Slinky Dog decorations, money confetti and Rapunzel balloons!

 Ready to sing happy birthday!

 We read the Night before Kindergarten with Hank

 And then it was his first day!  He is sporting his school spirit t-shirt!

 Starting the walk down the driveway...

Heading out of the neighborhood and over to the crossing guard to get to Sweet Apple!  It was a great 1st day!  Yay Hank!

Summer Fun Is Over!

What a summer!  We kept busy with all our vacations as you have seen from all those pictures.  And then we were at home the rest of the time doing different things.  Here is a look at our summer fun 2013!

 Sharing Mimi's ride on bike and squeezing cheeks :)

 Best buds....Mimi is going to be looking for some fun from Mommy tomorrow once Hank goes off to school...

 How about this...a handyman (woman) in heels...she makes house calls :)

 A little ice fun we had....freezing legos and then melting the ice around them till they fall out!

 We love the Minions in our happy meal!

 First trip to the movie theater to see Despicable Me 2 in 3D!

 Playdoh fun!

 Painting fun!

 A little fun in the rain!

 Lots of rainy or hot day trips to Monkey Joe's!

 And of course, the Sprayground!

 Playing a few games on our phones...

Kona Ice truck and meeting all Hank's new friend at the Kindergarten Ice Cream Social!

Whew!  I don't know about you but this makes me tired to think about all we have done!  It was a great summer and we are so thankful that we got to see almost all of our extended family!  

School starts tomorrow for Hank!  We will have pictures to show and good stories to tell!

We got to see the Greats!

Next on the trip was North Tonawanda, NY where we were able to get in some extended family time

 Very happy that we were able to spend time with Great Grandma Mary and Great Grandpa Jack!

 And the 3 generations of Mary...

 Ok, here is the pool and what next Uncle Dave...

 Yep!  Canoe in the pool and Hank went in...which left Mimi to question if she was going to get in...

 Yep...she got in to and they took a quiet little ride around the pool...if you can call it a ride.  The canoe was almost the length of the pool!

 Hang out time back at Great Grandpa Jack's house.  Daddy's good friend Kevin and his son Jack came over to play for a while.  Although Daddy and Kevin were in a food coma from the pizza and subs they ate :)

Hank and Jack hanging out and playing Chutes and Ladders.

We left on Sunday to head back home.  A quick trip but very important that we got to see the Greats!  Last of our summer trips for 2013!

Whirlwind East Coast Trip

We decided to take a quick trip up to the Buffalo area to visit family.  One the way....we stopped at Hershey Park and had an AWESOME time!  Here are a few photos from the trip we wanted to share.

 Tired from the drive the night before but getting ready to hit the road and head to Hershey!

 LOTS of mountains to look at

 And we made it and we are on the rides!

 Fireman/Firewoman coming through!

 Flying high!

 The water park at Hershey was awesome!  Hank tried every slide...but the water was freezing!

 If you look closely...we are sitting down on the slide in the distance...Mommy took the picture from far away...

 This was a ginormous area of the water park with dumping water and slides and all sorts of fun stuff!

Took my picture with the chocolate bar...yum!

We stayed in a hotel in Hershey after the park and then went on to Buffalo the next day...stay tuned for those pics tomorrow!
