Tweetsie Railroad

We got a great deal for tickets and hotel, so off to Boone we went. The activities at Tweetsie were perfect for our kids, but I was not so impressed that we will spend the $$ to go back again. I'd rather go to the State Fair! Joshua became a cowboy on the trip and has now acquired a cap gun and toy riffle. He is constantly on the lookout for Indians!

Happy Birthday Bill!

Bill celebrated his 37th birthday this year, but he thinks the accident has added age to his body, so it was really like his 40th! I am just so thankful that he was here and HEALTHY for the celebration! Joshua thought Bill should have a bike or parachute cake. This is my attempt at the bike.

Blowing out the candles - too bad it looked better than it tasted! I tried a new icing recipe and Bill thought it was like eating shaving cream.

I scraped the icing off and tried again. This time the icing got the stamp of approval!

Bill wanted me to take the boys to the bike shop to pick him something out for his birthday and this is the jersey that was chosen! Bill has actually worn it, too. What a good sport!

Andrew turns 2!

Our little boy is 2! He celebrated this year with several parties and enjoyed all of the attention. He is a sweet, loving, strong-willed little boy and we look forward to watching him grow in the year to come!

Race Day

I have been trying to run myself back into shape. I've done area 5K's but this was my first attempt at a 10K since Cooper River in 2002! It was a tough course, but my training partner and I both won our age groups!

Andrew was a trooper - and was rewarded with lots of chocolate cookies from Mimi!Daddy and Joshua gear up for the 1 mile fun run.

They finish in a little over 13 minutes!! Go Joshua!
My legs were dead and my head was dizzy!
