Zackary's Last Day of Summer School and Emme's Supposedly First Day

Zackary did great in Summer School.  It was 6 weeks long Mon-Thur and every morning after showing me the toys outside to play with he literally was like bye mom!  Music to my ears after his whole first year at preschool he never wanted me to leave.  Emme came to class that day with us and she had so much fun she didn't' want to leave.  

Can you see her blending in with all the kids as they washed their hands before school started.  The girl on the end was teaching her how to wash her hands!  So cute.  

After hand washing she just walked over to the toys and started playing while Zackary joined her!  When it was time to leave she walked around the classrooms for awhile saying hi to everyone and then walked over to the church where we were early to watch Zackary and the kids in a sing a long.  Emme wanted to be a singer so she walked in and sat down in the front where the kids do when they sing.  Then she started dancing!  So funny.  There were only 4 moms there but we were all laughing at her cuteness.
Zackary now says, "I don't have to go to school again until after my birthday!"  I am glad he enjoyed his teachers and the new students over summer that he got to meet!

Where Troubles Melt Like Lemon Drops...

We had to say goodbye to Bentley last night.  He was there when you guys were both born, he was the ring bearer in mommy and daddy's wedding and he was mommy's best friend for 8 years.  Before I adopted him I didn't know that much about his breed...Bichon Frise's, but they are so smart, inquisitive, loyal and perfect family dogs.  He was so sweet to you both and know matter how much you bugged him he didn't care he let you.  We walked him everyday after breakfast, before lunch, and before dinner together.  We will still walk in his memory.  I will miss him dearly!  Dogs are the best!

Happy 4th of July!

These are just some pictures I took on our morning walk together.  Ben had to work Independence Day so I took the kids on a long walk.  We had a lot of fun and Emme sure did get a lot of compliments.  Felt bad for Zackary, should have dressed him cuter I guess!

Notice the doggie sling.  He walked that sling the whole time!  LOL

I am practicing getting off and on.  Once she accomplishes something she moves on right away to mastering something new!

LoVe, LOve, LovE

Our pseudo Mary Poppins (AP) turned her iphone camera around so Emeline could see her face.  These are the pictures she got out of that...adorable!  The above picture is the smile she gives to other children.  Haha! 

Driving My Car

We were so excited that Emeline taught herself how to drive this car.  It was new for us, Zackary never got on any of his toys and road them.  We were glad to see her use the toys to their full potential!  Zackary always played with them but just didn't ride them.  She was very proud of herself when she figured out how to get on and off and move the car around!  It was fun to watch!

Beach Days

It is so hysterical taking the kids to the beach (and quite a feat too).  Emme loves the water and wants to just play in it the whole time where as Zackary loves the sand and wants to build sand castles and dig deep holes!  One day they will hopefully be on the same page and we can enjoy relaxing at the beach!  :)

Dad and me looking out at the kids swimming in the water!

Here is Zackary digging enjoying being in his element!  We have to get him in the water more.  

I Love to Draw

Emme loves to spend the time drawing where as Zackary never did.  I remember when I was young I loved drawing so it is fun watching her carry her crayons around and draw so many pictures.
