Halloween

Better late than never ;-) So this year we had a gypsy, Darth Vader and two vampires. We had a great time carving pumpkins and getting candy.

Great wolf lodge

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay. This summer we spent a night at the great wolf lodge. Which for those of you who don't see the commercials all the time, is a hotel that sports a huge indoor water park and you can only go to the water park if you stay in the hotel. So we went and everyone had a good time. I don't think I could have stayed anymore then one night or I would have had water coming out my ears. They did have a toddler area at the water park, or as Jory and I called it, "the I hate parents" section. I don't have any pictures of that because everything that squirted water in that section hit you right at face level. The kids were fine but the parents were constantly under siege.

Squirrel lake

We went exploring a while back and found a park called squirrel lake park near our house. Here are some picture from our excursion.

Beatin' the heat

Well as you all may guess summer in the south can get hot. So we have installed our own cooling system, here's some pictures.

More pics from Granma Barbs visit

Here are some pictures taken during Grandma Barb's visit. The one of Brady is him doing a little thing he likes to call, "Big Nose". I think you can see why. It cracks me up! Aidan is wearing a sweet hat of Uncle Andy's and the last is of the whole family. If you notice it looks as though I am a recent amputee but no need to worry my limbs are all intact as of the moment.

The Art Show

The kids school had an art show to display all of the children's work. Here are some pictures of their amazing artistic abilities. Caley's was in the display case if you look you can see hers. It's the bright green lizard with the swishing tail and bulging eyes.

Trip to the zoo

While Jory's mom Barb was here we went to visit the north carolina zoo in Asheboro. Very cool zoo, I've never been to one with such natural habitats. Here are some pictures and maybe a video.

Playing with easter toys

Easter!

Okay, so I haven't quite found the balance between posting things to the blog and going to school. Here are some long overdue pictures of the kids. These are Easter pictures. I took the kids to an easter egg hunt in Stallings park and they had fun. Although the eggs were empty and you turned them in for a bag of candy, it was still fun. We took a picture with Charlie the easter bunny at our local grocery store. You will notice only three children in the photo with Charlie because Aidan refused to join. He merely stood by with a look of disdain, hands on his hips and everything, so we had to make do without him.

We're 3!!

Well I can hardly believe my little boys are three. They had a nice quiet birthday, just some cupcakes and presents. None of the presents they got this year made any noise, thank you very much! Here are some pictures to share with you the turning of the three! We got them some lightning mcqueen pillows that were very cute but they were too busy zooming around to let me take a picture.
