I know I posted all about Soley's party all ready but never posted the pictures! Well finally here they are! There are quite a few but well worth looking at! Again it was a AMAZING party and as always I can't wait to see what next year brings! Thanks to all the family that traveled so far to come to Soley's party and all her friends who were there to celebrate too!

Myrtle Beach

This past week we traveled to Myrtle Beach for our Family Vacation with My parents!  We had a amazing time as always! This year was Myrtle Beach, last year was Hilton Head.  They both were tons of fun but I think we love Hilton Head more! We had great weather until the last day when it rained but we were able to play at a fun zone type place which Soley had a blast doing!  We drove down and Soley did amazing! She is really the best traveler! She does better then me! My parents best friends also join us on this trip which worked out perfect because they brought 2 of their grandchildren who were 6 and 8, and Soley loved them! Soley really only plays with older children, she could care less about playing with kids her age, but anyone over 5 she does great with! My mom's best friend was our OBGYN so it's always nice to see her and her husband! 

Soley playing on the beach with my dad!






Before we left Soley and I got our nails done, matching with flowers! She loved it! Soley loves matching things!




Soley and Isaiah building a drizzle castle! Isaiah and Ella Joy were two of the most well behaved children I have ever seen!

Playing Put Putt at our Resort! She loves put putt!




Her First Doughnut ever! A Krispy Kreme! YUMMY!



My One edited picture, did not have time to do the others, Jon and Soley on the beach! They look so much alike! What a amazing daddy he is!


Another trip down in the books! Now we are home for a while! We have a semi light week ahead of us, Soley starts ballet up this week and we have orientation for preschool! Soley will start preschool two days a week coming up soon.  I actually don't think that she is going to do it and have prepared my self that we are going to be taking a large monetary loss, but we are okay with it.  I don't want to force her to go but want to give her the opportunity.  The preschool that we choose is amazing! We have known countless families from our church and friends send their children there.  It's for 2 days a week and four hours each day.  One reason why we chose it was because the director has been there 30 years and all the staff has been there a minimum of 8 years! Yes that is un heard of! They also cater to moms like me! They have a car pool but allow you to drop off and pick up if you wish.  They are very strict with a zero policy on behavior, which I love! The first two weeks they have a room for moms or dads who want to stay while their children are at class in case their children have a hard time adjusting! So we will just have to wait and see! I don't see Soley letting me leave the classroom so I don't beleive that she will actually do it but I hope she does like it!

Bentley...


Most of my posts on this old blog of mine are pretty happy but that's not always how life goes.  Many of you know that we have had bentley for 8 years.  At times his shedding and licking drove me crazy but he was the nicest sweetest dog that you would ever meet! All of the kids in our neighborhood loved him! I often would look outside and find the younger kids riding on top of Bentley while he was relaxing in our front yard. Over the past year Soley and Bentley have became best friends.  She would spend all of her time at the house playing with him, making him jump though hoops, and running outside.  Whenever we go away Soley cries, I mean cries, for him all week long.  They truly were best friends.  This past week while we were at the beach we got a call from Jon's best friends who were keeping him saying that he was not doing well.  To make a sad story less sad he passed away, and we are all completely heart broken.  Telling Soley was the hardest thing we have done as parents so far.  She cried for almost 2 hours straight, it broke our all ready grieving hearts.  It's crazy how much we as adults can get attached to animals, but a child it's a even deeper bond. 

We love you Bentley!
