"The Coolest Places at the New House" by Benjamin and Ethan

As we spend time getting to know our new house, the boys have not wavered in what they think is the best place in the house -- but it is not in the house......
It is the swing set. In fact when were negotiating on the new house, the boys kept referring to this house as "the swing set house."


This is the second best place outside -- the hill that leads to the backyard. (I am sorry for the shaking on the video). To hear the video turn the music off on the right-side of the screen.

We look forward to much more fun in the yard and the hill will be so much fun in winter during our one snow a year!!

Beach Trip 2011

In the midst of selling our house, buying a new one and moving, we decided that going to the beach would be a good idea! (We had a planned beach trip with Papaw and Uncle Evan.) So, the minute we retuned the U-haul from moving into our new house, we packed up the SUV and left 12 hours later for the beach. It was so nice to be able to relax and spend time with family! Thanks for the trip Papaw!


Ms. Sharon joined us on our trip. We think she had fun playing in the sand with the boys!

Mmmmm.....fresh fish sandwiches on the beach! Papaw decided that he was going to try the lobster tails!



Uncle Evan got in some great playtime with the boys!


Brian and Ethan went on a crab hunt. The minute that Brian caught this crab, Benjamin took off running and Ethan wanted to help hold the net.

The next day, the net must have had a hole in it -- no crabs that day!

Benjamin spent a lot of time digging "water craters" and sitting in them.

The boys really enjoyed being in the ocean more this year -- minus the getting salt water splashed in their faces!
