Everyday dress up

I have boys and thought dress up was only for girls... WRONG.  My oldest loves to dress up in "character" - it could be a super hero, football player, cyclist, soccer player, cowboy, etc. etc.  You name it - but he is now encouraging little brother to get in on it.  Too bad he only ever wants to be batman!  This is everyday at my house.  J really wishes mom could be elastagirl from the Incredibles - I wish I could be a superhero, maybe then the house would be clean!!

Seven Years

We are so blessed to have found each other and to have found a way to live with each other!  Though we may have had a rocky courtship - our marriage has been bliss!  Thank you Bill for being a wonderful husband and father and thank you God for blessing our union - 7 years yesterday!

Grandma would be proud!

I started transplanting these tubers from my grandmothers yard when I first moved back to NC.  My grandma could grow anything and spent most all of her days outside.  I don't have her green thumb, but I have her irises and I also planted a sprout from her famous blueberry bush that is still growing 3 years later!

We Still Celebrate a Risen Lord!!

We don't talk about the Easter Bunny or Santa much at our house because we never want our kids to lose sight of the birth, death, or resurrection of Christ.  We hope you and yours have enjoyed a beautiful Easter weekend!

Joshua was too busy making Wolfpack signs in this photo!

So I'm the camera lady that sets the timer (where's my remote, by the way) then runs across the yard with a 30+ lb load on her hip. If I didn't carry that child - he'd be across the yard somewhere!  That's my excuse for looking frazzled! ; )

Does Anyone Else Feel My Pain??

Of course, I think I have 2 of the cutest boys in the world, but why, oh why, can't I ever get a decent shot of them together?  Check out this progression....

Bill is on a misson trip in Costa Rica for a week and I thought it would be an excellent time to load up the boys and visit my sister in her new digs! She has a great new home in a great neighborhood and we really enjoyed our visit. Below you see the most memorable part for the boys.
