Summer has gone by way too quickly! We have been so busy with the school year that Mommy has not been able to do a posting since December. Since summer has arrived, we have been busy planting flowers, riding bikes, playing on playgrounds, doing sleepovers with our good friends, and having a blast at Steve and Ms. Lori's wedding, not to mention the entire turning four thing! For their birthday, we decided to go to Magic Mountain this year due to the entire house selling process. Aron got a camera for one of his presents and promptly took some weird but good pictures. Alyssa decided to go for a beautiful princess dress with one of her gift cards and promptly dressed up to sing on camera. We have decided that Alyssa is the artsy type while Aron is the fartsy type. :-)
Aron and Alyssa got to be part of a wedding this summer. Daddy's cousin, Mr. Steve, was getting married and Ms. Lori wanted the twins to be a part of the bridal party. Alyssa was a flower girl and properly posed for every and any picture she was requested to be a part of. (We had actually lost her for about forty-five minutes because the bridal party wisked her away right as we were unloading from the car and she was enjoying her girl time immensely.) Aron was the ring bearer but got more of a kick out of being dressed up in his "monkey suit." He looked handsome and posed very well for each of his pictures. The best part of it all was that the Twins performed and behaved well for Ms. Lori and Steve, and ask me all the time when they are going to go and visit them.
Aron and Alyssa got to camp overnight with Grandma, Grandpa, Sadie, Lexie, and Bentley at a real campground. They slept in the camper overnight, went swimming, played on the playground, and went for wagon ride. They even had some of their pictures show up on the campground's website.
All in all, it has been a funny and busy summer. We decided that, after four years of squishing into our good little house, we needed to upgrade. Essentially, we outgrew our nice little house the moment we found out we were going to have a baby...oops, babies four years ago. So on the July 4th weekend, we officially placed our happy home on the market. We never thought we would be able to pull it off, what with living in our house while doing over twenty showings inside of the first five weeks. This house has never been so clean and will likely not be so ever again! :-) In addition to all of that drama, school will resume for us in a few days after they moved buildings as well. I will never move again, this I promise!
I believe this catches us up. Like I said earlier, lots of things going on and, as always, very little time to play. :-)
