We're Moving...again!

Yes, it's official! After months of debate, we've decided moving back is the best thing to do. We LOVE it up here, but work-wise, we need to move back. We are going to miss our friends up here soooo much, but we'll be coming back to visit often!!

Here's some pics from a party some friends had. Shelby is in a pie eating contest & Aly is playing a game with some little ones from our hall:

Catching Up!

We've had a crazy summer, especially June! July was much more laid back. As soon as school was out, Shelby & Denver went to the Keys for a week with family to fish. Did they take pictures? Only 2!!! Since it was a disposable camera I don't have anything to show you. Alyson & I went with some friends to Myrtle Beach! I was pleasantly suprised! Did I take pictures? Of course:

 

Then we came back & went to our District Convention:

We've still got a month to go but we've got some news....

Shelby's Music Program

Circuit Assembly Pics!

Here's some pictures from our Circuit Assembly 4/2 & 3 in Salisbury, NC. What a wonderful program! The emphasis on maintaining your spirituality was just what I needed! The kids did great! Especially Shelby! Alyson is only 4, so she still has a hard time with the long days.

Shelby's First Talk!!!!

I was in such a rush to get this online, I forgot to do anything else! Yes, Shelby did great & he was sooo excited! He wasn't even nervous! Afterwards, we had some of his friends(and their parents) over for ice cream cake. It was crazy, but he loved it! Denver's parents came up & my dad did too! We were all so proud! We hope this is the first of many!

Lego Party!

After months of telling Shelby I would have a party at our house with his friends, I finally broke down & had it yesterday. Four other boys came over & it was like having a herd of elephants running in & out! But they seemed to have fun & that was worth it! I planned a few games like pin the dot on the lego, Lego car races, a Lego tower contest & a Lego chopsticks game. I also had a small treasure hunt around the house & they got pieces of Legos then had to race to put together a penguin.

After they made their own pizzas they played outside in the snow until I made them come in. Then they watched movies until who knows when. This morning was just Legos & more snowball fights until parents came! My floors took a beating but I held out mopping until there was just one left, but it was hard!

Let It Snow!!!!

Well, we've had a very interesting weekend! We were supposed to go to DC & then Northern VA to visit family. But a snow storm came through & now we're snowed in. We have an average of 15" here at the house. Here's a few pics of the kids!

A friend of ours gave Alyson her daughter's old Easy Bake Oven & here is Alyson's first masterpiece!
