August 2015

August!!! We got to go to Orange Beach the first week of August with Nana and Papa and the Mosers. We had fun although, Brody, you had a bit of a hard time with some behavior issues. We are looking forward to you being back in school and having a routine. You do much better. But you both loved playing with your cousins.


Brody, you were not sure about the ocean at first. You just wanted to play in the sand. We finally got you in the ocean and you loved jumping the waves! We built sand castles, destroyed sand castles, found sea shells, and played in the water. Payton, you did not so much like the ocean. You did not like the way the sand felt on you and the water was too cold for you! :)


The resort had lots of pools and slides. Boy did yall love these! We spent lots of time swimming and you both loved it!! Brody, after your swim lessons you are swimming like a champ! Go under, down slides, and jumping in. Payton, you like to wade and swim in the water but not under yet. You will take swim lessons next summer!


After that we headed home. Mommy went back to work the next week and yall went to IHI for the last week of summer school there even though you hadnt gone in the summer. You both did great of course! Ms. Heather said Brody was a different kid and so well behaved! Good job bub. At least you behave well at school :) Just kidding! Payton, you were a champ - such an easy going baby. Good job sweet pea!


The next week IHI was out so Nana and Papa came and stayed wtih you. You had fun going to the community center, parks, and playing at home! Yall always love when they come and get spoiled! ;)
The next week started the school year for IHI. You both bumped up classes. Brody is now in Ms. Hollie's class with Ms. Cara Beth and Ms. Tammi and Payton is in Ms. Paulette's class with Ms. Tasha. You both love your classes and do awesome! Youre eating lunch well, napping well (for the most part...Brody :)), and doing great. We are so proud of the both of you. Mommmy wishes she could go part time - but with the cost still of day care and other things I cannot. But just know I want to but I am doing what is best for you guys and doing it because I love you. I am so proud you go to school like champs and do so well! Makes it easier on mommy being away from you!!


We had some youth events, church, lots of walks (and Brody you are learning your Stridor bike so well!), outside playing, Amazeum time, and just lots of fun with you guys! Payton, you had your 15 month check up with shots :(. You did great. Your iron is still a little low so we will check it again next month!
