During Memorial Day week-end, our family visited the Outer Banks of N.C. This is one of a favorite places to go. We visit the beach quite often during the summer months. Other than the beach, there are lots of things to do. One afternoon, we decided to go visit the Wright Brothers Memorial. The boys had a great time and learned all about Wilbur and Orville Wright. We actually got to see a couple of planes land and take off. Here are a few shots~
Sorry, I have been "blogless" the last couple of days. I have been really busy this past week-end. So here is what I have been up to the last couple of days!
Thursday night, the boys addressed their Valentine's cards for their classmates. It was too cute watching them decide which card to give to who. I remember that being such a big decision when I was kid. They had great time too!
Thomas concentrating on getting it right.
Tyler was looking so serious! LOL
On Friday, Frank and Tanner surprised me at work took me out to lunch. Tanner gave me some flowers and politely told me that HE picked them out but DADDY paid for them! He was so proud to give them to me. It was a very nice surprise - the flowers were a bonus!
The wedding plans are starting to come together now. Me and Stevie (bride to be) spent the afternoon printing her invitations and RSVP cards. We assembled them and now they are ready to be stuffed into envelopes and mailed. They turned out great didn't they? We had a great time together.
I have also been tieing bows for our Relay for Life team. I have tied bows for one of fund raisers for 6 years in a row now. This is such a great fund raiser. The ribbon costs next to nothing and we "sell" each of them for $ 10.00 each. People proudly display them on their cubicles, and mail boxes. For more information about Relay for Life following this link. http://www.relayforlife.org/relay/about Please donate to your local Relay event and if you are interested in sponsoring me, leave me and comment and I will send you the link so you can make a donation!
So that about wraps it up! Busy, Busy, Busy!
I will be playing catch on all of my blog buddies... I will be visiting you all soon!
As you could probably figure out based on my Wordless Wednesday post, we got a little bit of the white stuff here in eastern, North Carolina. It does not happen very often. In fact Tuesday's snowfall was the first accumulation we have had since 2003! We got around 5 inches and it was awesome while it lasted.... This was Tanner's first real snow - and the first one Tyler can remember!
Here are some pictures! Frank took these pictures while I was still at work.
Thomas and Tyler were so excited!
First order of business - SNOWBALLS!
Then SNOW ANGELS!
And of course - a snowman!
Tanner really like the snowman!
This is what the road looked like right after I got home from work. On a normal day it takes my 20 minutes to get home. It took 1 hour and 10 minutes on Tuesday! It was awful!
We had a wonderful Christmas this year. My little Tanner was sick with a fever which started Christmas Eve and all day Christmas day. Poor guy, he slept 4 hours on Christmas day. He is feeling much better now . Any how, we missed Rebecca and Steven (in-laws) as they are living in Florida now and were not able to make the trip home for Christmas. We still had a house full - full of family and full of love. My parents, my sister Many, my sister Stevie and her fiance Brock, Ms. Nancy(Steven's mother), and Steven's Uncle Joe and Aunt Jean were all here to celebrate Christmas. We had a nice brunch which consisted of way too much food, and opened gifts. The boys were so excited to see that Santa had brought them what they asked for. They got a Nintendo DS and a Wii. That is all that they asked for - good thing because the elves couldn't build them any more gifts! LOL. We all enjoyed the day - I just wished it could have lasted a little bit longer...
We sprinkled Reindeer food out- it consists of oatmeal and glitter. The glitter makes the oatmeal "sparkle" so the Reindeer can see it from the sky.
Here are the boys in their new jamimies. I normally get them Christmas jammies, but I couldn't find any this year. I think they liked these better!
Tanner - not feeling up to taking pictures.
Cookies for Santa.
Aunt Stevie passing out gifts.
The aftermath.... Sad - I know. But it was Christmas!
