The Oldroyd Family

Max is in the Preschool 1 class & did great on his first day! His class is big & has lots of boys but the teachers did a great job. Max was reluctant at first to so anything but soon followed the crowd & joined in on the bubble blowing, putting his face in the water & jumping to his teachers. Way to go Max! Nathan & Alexa are in the preschool 2/3 class. They are lucky because its just them & one other girl! I am still in awe at how much they were able to learn in just one lesson. Such a huge difference from last year when they would barely get off the steps. I am so proud of them! They were swimming & floating & diving for rings. They rocked their lesson & I couldn't be more proud of both of them!   I can't wait to see how much all 3 kids learn over the next few weeks of lessons!

They're getting so grown up!

We waited a little too late in the year to go camping but we decided to venture out anyway... We headed to Stephen F Austin State Park which is only about 45 minutes away.  Its a really nice camp area with lots of grass, trees & even electricity! Boys love sticks & my boys loved being able to whack things with them & not be told to put them down! We went on treasure hunts with the Geo Caching app.  It was lots of fun! (Minues the chiggers & poison ivy - ouch!) It was pretty warm but we managed... Hank had a great time being outside! And what's camping without S'mores?? A really hilarious thing happened around dinner time... a family of 5 drove up to the campsite across from us & set up shop.  Complete with a bounce house, rope lights, and EZ Up & lounge chairs!  Oh and a super nice RV!  Made our little site look puny!   The night was a little rough - Alexa, Hank & I were in a tiny little...
