Aubrey
My baby is almost 3!!!
Aubrey started preschool last week and did way better than I thought she would. Last year I think I had to pick her up on more than one occasion because she wouldn't stop crying. This year? Forget it...she loves it! This will be our first year experiencing the whole age thing-- she's the youngest in her class, just under the cutoff date of 9/30. So while everyone else in class is 3 turning 4, she's just 2 turning 3. I'm anxious to see how she does. I actually think she'll do fine. It will be nice to hear what the teachers have to say at our parent/ teacher conference in November.
Aub got to go to dance last week and she had a blast! The first thing she said when she came out of class was "I want to dance again!". Too cute!
Anyway, we are celebrating her birthday in a couple of weeks with a tinkerbelle party once Mike gets home from Mississippi. We are having it the same day as Nicole's first soccer game-- fun day!!! 
Nicole
Real school is here! It's hard to believe Nicole is in actual Kindergarten!!!
Our first week was a little rough....we had one really bad day....but she's good to go now and she absolutely LOVES school.
She also started soccer. Totally fun and she's pretty good at it :)
She gets to go to her first dance class today and she can't wait!!

The beginning of the end
First of all, I'd like to give a shout out to my husband for making the cool slides for our slideshow that you will find at the bottom of the page. It's awesome! Thanks Mike! Please scroll down to check it out :)
I think today is the official start to the end of our summer.
Tonight is "Meet the Coaches" night for soccer....which we signed Nicole up for the fall season. Tomorrow night is Aubrey's preschool orientation. Thursday night is Nicole's Kindergarten open house....and then school starts next Tuesday!!!!! WOW!
I have to apologize for being gone so long again. I tell you what, time has just flown by this summer! Mike would like to say it's been the summer from hell and "never again will he do this much driving!" Whatever! Yes, we are all pretty much worn out, but it's been fun for the most part!
Ok, so since we last posted, we've been to Myrtle Beach, The Outer Banks, and to Pittsburgh...I guess that does sound like a lot of traveling! Anyway, you'll find lots and lots of pictures below that highlight the last few activities of the summer. Oh, and that includes a fun Jonas Brothers post!
So what's next on our agenda? School, soccer, and dance. School starts next week for both of the girls. That means Nicole will be on the bus- ahhhh!!! I just don't see how I'm going to be able to drop her and pick her up everyday....so the bus it is! She's a tad nervous, but I think she'll be fine once she gets the hang of it. Aubrey starts preschool next week as well. I'm really excited because she'll be with the teachers Nicole had the first year she went and we absolutely love them! We'll learn more about our soccer schedule tonight hopefully. She'll have practice sometime in the evening during the week and then games on Saturday mornings. Last, but not least, both girls will be in dance on Thursday afternoons. I was able to find a class that both can be in-- how convenient!!! It's a tap/ballet class. This is Aubrey's first official activity besides preschool so I'm very excited for her!!!
That's really it, I guess. Oh, wait, did I mention Mike is leaving again? I don't know why I am saying again, the guy rarely has to go anywhere....but ya, he's leaving. And he's going to miss Aubrey's birthday which totally figures. You know, every time they schedule him on a trip it's during some one's birthday. How lame is that? LAME! The only reason he was here for mine & Nicole's bdays was because he had appendicitis. I guess I shouldn't complain, but it does suck.
Hopefully, I will be more on top of the blog since our activities are starting up again. I know I'll be posting lots of first day of school pictures, soccer pics, and dance pics so be ready!
Miss you all.....enjoy the blog!

The Jonas Brothers Concert
Thank God for Kristin! She always scores the best tickets!!!
She called us Tuesday around noon saying she had two VIP tickets to the Jonas Brothers concert that night. Didn't take us long to decide we'd take em! And surprise, surprise, Mike opted to take Nicole. He says he just likes to see Nicole enjoy herself at things like that, but we all really know he's a huge fan of the boys. Haha!

Mike said they actually put on a decent show, and he was glad to see such a positive thing for the kids to be into these days. He was impressed!
Below you will find a video from the concert for your viewing pleasure-- along with some pics-- enjoy!
The Outer Banks
Ok, so our next road trip was to the Outer Banks. Typically, it doesn't take more than 2 hours to get there. We decided to go on Sat which was a horrible move that turned our two hour road trip turned into a four hour road trip. And then, we had the bright idea to take the sentra because we were going to be taking the van to Pittsburgh at the end of the same week....thought we were smart and we'd save a penny taking the old car. Well, we did, but during the 4 hours of stop and go traffic our little sentra just couldn't take the heat while running the a/c.....so we pretty much roasted our asses off during the drive. At one point Aubrey got so mad she was screaming "I hate this!" from the back seat! It was bad. We were never so ready for a cold drink by the time we got there.
Our time there was a blast. We actually crashed Mike's cousins' family vacation....we are so glad we did! They were kind enough to invite us down for a couple of days, and Mike was able to get a day off of work. We absolutely love it there- it's gorgeous!
The only bad part of the trip was Mike coming down with salmonella poisoning. The day we left we thought he was hungover....two days later when he was still pooping and feeling awful he took himself to medical. They gave him two bags of fluids + antibiotics and told him he probably got sick from the raw chicken necks we used for crab bait.
Check out the girls in the last picture.....that was our last day at the beach and they were just a tad exhausted!!!

Medieval Times
Ok, so definitely the highlight of our Myrtle Beach trip was going to Medieval Times. It was so entertaining! I have to say, I think Bill enjoyed himself the most....although, I doubt he'll admit it!
