Christmas-Present

Well, let's see here.... Last post was December, it is now the end of July!!! Don't you just like my blogging skills?! I love doing our blog, but life takes over and I either forget, don't have time, fall asleep, you know! So Christmas.....umm that was long ago now and I don't remember what we did to be honest.Had a wonderful Christmas with the family,rang in the new year?! We did take the kids to the polar express, they seamed to uhhhh! Notice I said they and uhhh, it wasn't worth the drive to be honest oh and the $150 bucks!
Our Christmas was great as always, spent time with the families!! Kids made out like bandits as always! Don't our parents know we have toy OVERLOAD at the house?!
The Veit Kiddos!!
Here is AJ and his favorite Kindergarten teacher, he made her that tree as a gift!
March was Annabel's 4th birthday, boy was she excited to turn 4! I think she was 3 forever, but asked every day when she would turn 4. The day came and now she's asking to turn 5 already! Goodness chick be happy you're young!! You're making mommy and daddy seam very old! She thinks she is a princess, maybe because her parents are always telling her how pretty she is. Hey girls need confidence right?! And she has a brother to bring her back to reality, and tells her she's driving him crazy on a daily basis!
Annabel and her BFF Rocki
May is AJ's birthday and our first born turned 6! What a great little guy we have, he is into military, and baseball! He has had a busy year, he just finished up his 3rd season of baseball. He's a natural born slugger, he recently told me he wants to be a ball player when he grows up!! He is a great big brother and just a sweet guy! He is also in Tae Kwon Do, but it isn't his favorite.
Broke his first board on his 6th birthday!! June came and went, big things happened. AJ graduated Kinder, how proud we are!! He was sad to be leaving his teacher and his friends for the summer. He loves school and enjoys every bit of it.
AJ and Mrs. Manning! June also kicked off our summer, we go to Florida every year with the kids. This was our third year since we started this vacay. We load everyone up and drive on down, the kids enjoy it and know the many states we have to travel to reach our destination! This year we let AJ take a friend with him, this is just the start of many can so and so come?!
Now JULY!!!! The best month ever, I say that because it's my Birthday month!! Not that I'm excited to have turned 31 but oh well, you get better with age right?! We just celebrated with family and friends, dinner and drinks. Hubby got me a nice trip to the Dominican Republic, yes as of right now as I type this we leave in 9 days! Pics will follow I promise! Other than that July has been lazy, both kids have been sick. Many trips to the doctor and one trip to the ER. Just winding down, the last of summer till school starts up the 27th!
Annabel's hospital trip, all test negative. Just had a nasty virus
Annabel also started dance in July, boy was she excited!!
Well till next time and I hope I don't wait 7 months to blog again, because I really enjoy doing this. Hope everyone had a great 4th!!
here are a few summer pics to leave you with....
