First Day Of School

Well, my baby is in Kindergarten now (sniff, sniff). She did incredible. She loved it. Her teacher is incredible and I feel so lucky that Kaya gets to be in her class. I was there helping most of the day today so I have a ton of pictures (took over 400 for the day). Here are just a few of both my girls at our morning photo shoot. They are such good sports. Kal loves her third grade teacher, too.

Chicago Half Marathon was TODAY!

I did the Chicago Rock n Roll Half Marathon with Neil this year. He usually runs it a lot faster than I do... but he has a knee injury. So, we ran about three miles and had to walk the rest due to the extreme pain in his knee. It was nice just hanging out with him for that long, and we were walking at a slower than normal pace, so it felt nice. I even took pictures with my new (I LOVE IT) mytouch phone and posted to FACEBOOK if you can believe it. Last week I had never used facebook and only had a very old RAZR phone.... and here I was today, posting on facebook from my phone while walking/running 13.1 miles. Go Me! :) Also... here are three fun pictures that we had taken at a booth at the health fair we went to yesterday in Chicago!

A few more Florida pictures I love...

We were only there five days and I took over 1600 pictures. It was a wonderful trip. Here are a few more I just love.

The Jacksonville Zoo

Here are just a few of the pictures we took at the Jacksonville Zoo.

At the Beach

I took about 500 pictures of the girls at the beaches while we were in Florida. I could not stop taking pictures so I would never forget how awesome it was. I swear Kalli looks like a teenager in these pictures. All of us sure loved the ocean. It was amazing to see them play in the ocean. I wish we lived by water.

Super Family

We were lucky to get some lower priced tickets to Great American through Neil's work. We totally surprised the girls. It was a great day. Kaya won us all CAPES so we could be a SUPER FAMILY. It was awesome. Neil and I were the only adults wearing capes that day at the park, and I LOVED IT. I do have a super family.

We love Florida!

The girls and I came down to visit my best friend Shannon. We have had the best time. I have taken over 800 pictures in just three days. Here are just a couple that Shannon uploaded to our husbands from our SUPER FUN day at Sea World and then Dinner with Mickey.

Of course she had our four kids in coordinating tie die shirts. Tomorrow she has new LIFE IS GOOD shirts for all of us to wear. It has just been wonderful and the girls are LOVING on her new baby girl. I wish we lived closer to them because LIFE IS GOOD with the Beckham family.

Lucky

When I see this in the morning, I realize how simply LUCKY I am to live my life. They share a bed ALL SUMMER. Not just a room, most days, they fit into one or the other's twin bed snuggled all into each other. I love when they do this.

Happy Father's Day Neil!

The girls love any reason to celebrate, so you bet they loved Father's Day. I loved both of these pictures so much.

Softball Rocks

Oh I am always so sad to see the softball season end. Here are a few shots of Kaya's first year (she was soooo cute - it looked like her uniform was eating her she was so small - she was by far the smallest kid on the team) and some of Kalli who was an AMAZING catcher this year. How I love coaching them. I wish my Mom was there on the sidelines because she really would have loved watching them both play.
