We're Back!!!!

After two weeks of wonderful weather in the Outer Banks, we unfortunately have to come home. The kids were under the impression that we were moving to the beach. I can't blame them, I could happily spend the rest of my days on the beach. But, alas, we have to come back to the real world and look forward to our next trip. So, here are some pictures showing that a good time was had.

And Baby Makes 5?

Well, I guess most of you know by now that we are going to have another little one. As much as we would like for it to be a girl, we just want it to be healthy. Clay and Nate, however, want a baby sister and don't care who knows it. Sorry about the fuzzy picture, but I had to take a picture of it with my camera.

The Kids New Toy

Well, after two Saturdays of hard work, Nick, Paul and I finished the swingset. I think we did a good job.

So Close Yet So Far Away...

After spending the day inside, Kaya just wanted out to play. Unfortunately, her favorite toy didn't want to cooperate.

School's Out For Summer!!!

Well, the boys had their last day of school today. We had lunch together and played some games. In the video Nathan and his friend Tobin are playing air-guitars and Clay is with his best girl Annalise. For some unknown reason Clay had a weird fascination with his ear. You'll understand when you see it.

Playin' Tag

Okay here's the gist. Susan tagged me in this thing. (I never expected to get a chain letter regarding my blog spot.) So, now I have to announce 10 weird things most people don't know about me. Then I have to tag 10 more people and list why I tagged them, then they have to spill their guts and tag 10 people. To all those who I tagged...NO TAKEBACKS!!! You can't tag the tagger. So, send it back to me once you've done it. Now, I'm assuming you don't have to have a blog to do this. Just send it in an email. Well, here's my dirty little secrets.

1. I go to sleep at night playing an actor alphabet trivia game I made up. You take an actor whose name starts with A and link them using movies to an actor whose name starts with B in as few links as possible. Then B to C and so on.
2. My nickname in college was Shera from He-Man.
3. I love to peel paint off old buildings. I can't help myself.
4. I've brainwashed my kids into thinking I'm 3 years younger then what I really am.
5. I cut my husbands hair.
6. I'm afriad to go up the basement steps in the dark.
7. I like to watch the Backyardigans.
8. I've always wanted to go to Ireland.
9. I can't read in the car without getting sick.
10. I hate waking up in the morning.


People I'm tagging.

Nikki- Because she needs a break from looking for new jobs (he he).
Jon- I need to bug him from time to time.
Nicole- It's not like she's busy working.
Rikki- To remind her I'm still kicking.
Sasha - To take her mind off of all things baby for a little while.

Mom - Just to see what she'll say.

What we learned at school...

Here's a little clip of something the boys have learned at school. I was really surprised when the boys started spouting it in the middle of Walmart.
