Carson's 4th Birthday






Carson had such a special 4th birhday. It all started with a surprise visit by both his wonderful grandma's! They were able to share in Carson's exciting Snake Encounters Party. Yes, it was going to be the Critterman, but that's a whole other story. Carson and all his friends were thrilled with snakes, lizards, and even a little magic! Do you see all those bins in the picture? They are filled with live snakes. We even had a 12 foot Burmeese Python in our FAMILY ROOM! AHHHH! Carson was not scared at all. He actaully loved it! Maybe he will end up being an entimologist/ herpatologist/ zoologist or whatever he is thinking today, afterall. A couple nights later he told me that he had the best birthday party ever....that's all we could ever ask for. We love you Carson!

Visit to Indiana





We had such a fun filled three week visit to Indiana this summer. After the wedding we went with John & Karen to Lake Cumberland and stayed at their condo for a few days. The water was a bit cold so no tubing or skiing, but the boys loved swimming & cruising in the boat. We returned back to Indy and stayed with mom & Joe. There is just nothing like relaxing at your parents. We went to the pool, hung out at Sherilyn's, went to Becky's for a couple days, watched fireworks, fished in the pond, roasted marshmallows, stayed up late and slept in, and on and on... One day mom had a truck load of dirt delivered (she always has some project going) and the boys played in that 10 ton pile of dirt for hours. My girlfriends and I had a great night out on the town. I didn't know what to do with myself not having to worry about a babysitter. It can be quite the chore finding one here. We love being with our family than just about anything....I miss you guys terribly and am already counting down till next summer. Ok - I have to end this post because I'm starting to get homesick:)

Adam's Wedding




What a wonderful day! Not a cloud in the sky, even though there was a 70% chance of rain - thank you God! Adam and Amy finally got married. We are so happy for them, and just love Amy. It was great to see so many people, a bit funny because lots of people thought we still lived in Charlotte.
