Wow! Where Did the Summer Go?

I know it has been along time since I have posted anything. What can I say, life with a four and two year old is busy and a lot of fun. We have had a busy last few months. We have visited the zoo, Big Surf, swimming and more swimming, camping, and the kids favorite so far, Worlds of Fun.
It is so fun to watch the kids grow and do new things everyday. Some of the new things for Reid lately is riding with no training wheels, writing and spelling three letter words, and reading about 25 words now. He also got a dirt bike that he can ride really well. He played on his first tee-ball team, too. I can not believe he will be going to school in one year. He is ready and excited to go, but mommy is not. He also had his first visit to the ER and came out with 7-8 stitches in his tongue.
Mallie is talking more and more all the time. She has quite the personality. Over the past three months she has learned how to count objects up to ten, ride a tricycle, bike with training wheels, and drive a powerwheels jeep and gator. Today I walked into the kitchen and she had a ton of her baby dolls, telephone, doll sippy, and camera at the kids table and was giving her dolls water and having conversations with them. She is becoming such a big girl. Her favorite character and show is still Dora. She watches it at least three times a day.
As far as me, I have been busy coaching 7-9th grade softball and will now do volleyball. It has kept me busy and active. I only have 14 more days of break and then back to routine. I am not looking forward to leaving the kids again, but it will help us stick to a schedule.
