Portraits - At the Pier

Pictures of the men in my life under the pier in South Nags Head.

Spring Break - Outer Banks here we come!!!

We joined the Crawford's for a trip to the Outer Banks for a week! We chose a house on the Cape Hatteras Seashore, in Waves, just south of Rodanthe. The house was perfect for us - a place for everyone to spread out!

The weather was great! We spent hours digging in the sand making elaborate sand pits. One afternoon we drove up to Nags Head for a rousing game of Putt Putt golf. Countless hours were spent with the art box creating interesting and colorful art. Great food, great friends, date nights for the adults....lovely time!

April Fools Day!!!

No joke, it really is!

The boys woke to a breakfast of cereal, but, when they poured the milk on it the milk turned GREEN!!! Oh the shock and horror! Colin and Ethan refused to eat it. Ryan and Joey rolled with it. Branden was a bit horrified, then shrugged his shoulders and ate it!!!

Happy Birthday Honey!!!

Happy Birthday Kent! 47 years old!!! Just getting better, not older! ; )

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Lucky the Leprechaun came for a visit today! All sorts of mischief occurred! Chairs were turned around, pillows were placed at the foot of the beds, shamrocks were scattered about the house, milk turned green, and more!! The children spent lots of time hunting for the tricky little leprechaun!

Quite possibly the BEST thing was that when we all got home the Wii was on and we thing the tricky leprechaun had been playing a game! There was a new character named Sean who looked an awful lot like a leprechaun...

For dinner were had corned beef, mashed potatoes and peas! For dessert we had frosted shamrock cookies and green M&M's!

Mischief, merriement, memories!

Our Garden In Bloom

Popcorn and a movie!

A typical Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Depending on what's showing at the Base Theater that's where you'll find us! Clean, family oriented theater, great prices, good snacks! Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for kids. Popcorn is $3.50 for a jumbo, kids drinks are $2.25! We bring our own brown paper bags to divide up the popcorn for the kids. Often you find us there with our friends - Joey, Michael, and Carolyn along with their mom, Sandy. On this day we saw Marley & Me. Great, enjoyable movie, sad at the end, but sweet too. For some reason we would up wth popcorn buckets at home...not sure why...
