Back in the swing

It has been really crazy around here preparing for Josh's wedding lately. Juggling a bride who has no opinion, daily home life with the kids, and visiting out of town relatives makes you really tired.

It is all done now! Finally. No more worrying about my brothers wedding. I did the best I could to make it run smoothly and be an organized event. I hope they enjoyed it and they better get me some pictures since I was to busy to take any for myself. I had a daughter as a flower girl, husband as a groomsman, Diggy sitting with some friends and making sure he didn't escape, video recording the ceremony, and directing people when they needed to walk out. Needless to say I was frazzled and didn't get to take any pictures.

Alivia was so funny being the flower girl! She was very excited to be the center of attention you know, because that is just who she is. She did a good job walking out putting down flower petals and stood right where she was supposed to. After standing there for a minute and scoping out the crowd she finally spotted her favorite person in the whole world. In the middle of the ceremony there is Livi yelling "Hey Diggy!" with a great big grin and waving to make sure he sees her. It was quite funny and I expected nothing less of her. She is my little social butterfly. Even in the middle of a quiet room of 100 people.

This week starts another crazy string. Alivia will be 4 years old in 6 days. We are planning to have a family dinner at the local pizza place on Thursday and leave for vacation on Saturday. We have decided to take the kids on a small trip to Disney World before Livi has to start school in September. I am excited to finally get to go back and Cam has never been so it should be interesting. We will be staying at an awesome resort with a private water park so that will be fun to play with the kids there. I am really looking forward to getting away from this town for a couple of days. A little change of scenery never hurt anyone.

When we get back from vacation it will be time to get serious and start a routine for Livi to go to school. We have doctor appointments dentist appointments buy school supplies and get on a better schedule. The new schedule is going to be hard on all of us. If my kids wake up before 9:30 am there is probably something wrong with them :) I'm going to shoot for a 8:30 bedtime and 8:30 wake up time by August 20th. That is my goal. We are just not morning people and love to play outside until 9:30 on an average night.

Other than that not much else is going on. Not that I would want or need anything else going on... you get the point. I have been a horrible mother and not taken any pictures of the kids over the past month. I didn't even get any pictures of my own daughter dressed as the flower girl at my brothers wedding. Horrible!

Until next time. Bye Bye!
