Lexi's First Day of First Grade

We cannot believe that Summer is over and school is back in session.  More unbelievable that Alexis is starting the 1st grade.  It seems like yesterday that we were bringing our little Mooney home from the hospital.  It is true when they say time flies, it sure does!!  We are so proud of you Alexis!  We love you!!

Last summer vacation

Last week we took our last family vacation of the summer to Carlsbad, where we became beach bums.  It was such a fun and relaxing vacation.  So fun that we flirted with the idea of moving down there, but the kids squashed that idea fast.  They said they would miss their friends too much.  

  The kids learned how to boogie board and they LOVED it!! We also adventured to Belmont Park, which was also tons of fun until Chris and I both got sick from the rides.  I guess we are too old for the rides.  LOL  Well the whole family thinks we should make Carlsbad a yearly vacation, let's see what happens next year.
