Summer Camp

This week Anderson attended his 2nd week of summer camp!! He spent his 1st week of camp at Bethany Methodist with Mia, while mommy was in Savannah and EJ was at Grant's house! Thanks again Denna and Melissa for keeping my boys while I was gone, I really appreciate it!!

This time his camp was at Canyon Creek, his new preschool that he will be attending in the fall! I wanted him to get a little taste of it before he goes there permanently in September! Plus, it worked out great for me since I spent the week preparing for Martin Volleyball Team Camp and AMBC Sports Camp, which take place over the next 2 weeks!

Anderson seemed to really enjoy his new preschool and it worked out great because Miss Lori was his teacher this week and she will be his assistant teacher in the fall! Here is something you do not see very often at our house, camp must have worn him out...

In the Swing of Things

We have been home now for a whole week and a half!! It feels good to get the house back in order and to be in a regular routine again!

Not much exciting to report...mostly we have been hanging out around the house because everyday it is over 100 degrees outside! We did have some friends over on Tuesday afternoon to play with the water toys in the backyard and of course we attended story-time on Wednesday morning followed by lunch at Chick-Fila, which is a weekly event!

Aaron has enjoyed getting back to playing raquetball 2-3 times a week and I have enjoyed getting back into my routine of walking and running Fit Camp! We are in a competition with some of the employees and their families from my dad's company...we are competing in %weight lost, most steps taken (we have pedometers to wear) and most aerobic points! We should find out soon how we measure up because we just finished our 1st week of competition!

Other than that, I have just been preparing for Martin Volleyball Team Camp and AMBC Sports Camp, which are coming up very soon! I have also been roped into (that was for you Melissa) taking on a larger role in my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group at AMBC, which I am very excited about (also for you Melissa)! I am now on the steering committee and I completed my 1st assignment of starting a new MOPS blog. You can check it out at this link.

Hope everyone is having a great summer! Here's to hoping for some cooler temperatures!

Just a cute little picture from our trip to Houston, since I know ya'll like to see pictures! (I know Gigi will really like this one)

Anderson at the Beach

Anderson had a blast during his 1st beach experience! Here is a video of him and EJ ridin' the waves, which was Anderson's favorite thing to do there! :)

EJ at the Beach

Here is a video of EJ walking and crawling in the ocean water! He's not sure what to think! He had a great time during his 1st beach experience, he tried to eat everything from sand and seaweed to water...you name it, he tried to eat it! :)

By the way, he started officially walking 2 days before his 13 month birthday! He's been cruisin' for months but now he is actually standing on his own and taking several steps in a row! Anderson officially walked 2 days after his 1st birthday and was running by the end of the week...he has not stopped since! :)

More Travels

Sorry I have been so bad about updating the blog lately but I have been traveling the world! Ok, maybe not the world but for the past 3 weeks we have been on the road! Here are a few things we have done since my last post:

We spent Father's Day at the Ranch with Granddaddy!

We took the boys to Houston to see the Royals play the Astros. While we were there, we saw 2 games and also went to the Aquarium (where we ran into Yao Ming)!

We attended the 60th Vick Reunion, which was a blast! Here we are with Jess and Eli!

My sisters and I had a great time celebrating my mom's birthday with her in Savannah! No boys allowed!

We celebrated the 4th of July with great friends at the Ratzman's house!

We had a blast vacationing on Mustang Island with the Lewis crew! We are planning to do it again next summer!

Obviously, we had a great time traveling, but we are definitely glad to be back home and into a normal routine again!
