Remember me?

I'll save the "busy" excuses for another day.....but we have been all over the place the last few weeks. Mainly we were in Disney the 1st week in May, a few trips to the Poconos for Courtney Cecelia's Confirmation and to celebrate Stephan's college graduation. Yes you are reading that right--Stephan is old enough to graduate from college. We also just got back from a weekend in Ocean City. Dan was traveling for a week when we got back from Disney so that set me behind a little. Connor asked Dan to be his Confirmation sponsor and Dan was happy to fly through Phoenix on his way out to LA for work. Dan was awe struck by the Red Rocks (as is everyone who goes out there) and had a really nice (albeit brief) trip to Sedona.

Disney is a whole 'nother blog, but Jack and Luke LOVED it. We went with Vanessa and Greg and their best bud Landon (our 3rd trip there together) and stayed in a Pirate Room at Caribbean Beach. We had a lot of laughs. Vanessa and Greg are the perfect travel friends--they let me be Clark Griswold and are along for the ride. They're up for anything--Blackberries in hand! We haven't been there since last winter and what a difference a year+ makes. They were able to go on all of the rides and Jack who is our little dare devil couldn't get enough. Luke liked the rides too but had a few "Eeyore" moments when he got off the ride and realized he was wet. Quinn was like traveling with a Cabbage Patch Kid. He was happy to just look all around, slept on the fly, ate whenever we sat down and didn't make a peep the entire trip. He is just a little doll. He is an occupational hazard is what he is. I would have 10 kids if they were all little Quinns! Our little boy is 10 months old today and a year is going by in the blink of an eye. I know everyone says time flies by but Jack and Luke's 1st year felt every bit of it--we were awake more that year then we were in our whole life. Quinn is just pure joy--a real treat to have just 1 baby to spoil. He has 4 teeth now and is all over the house--crawling, pulling himself up and just getting into general mischief. His personality and expressions just melt your heart. His big tricks include shaking his head, "no, no, no, no" and waving hi and bye to everyone with this floppy little wave. He says Dada all the time and just today I think he said "Ack" to Jack. Jack was so thrilled! He really adores Quinn.

Jack and Luke had their last day of school last week and are officially moving on to Kindergarten! We were sad to see the year end because we were so in love with their teachers and class, but we were also in such awe to see the growth and progress they have made in the last 10 months. Really amazing! I know there's still so much more growing to do, but they are really growing up. In less then a month, they will be 5. And what a 5 year old party we have planned!!!! Happy Summer!!!!
