Well, if you couldn’t tell it was a much more relaxed June for us. Baseball and T-ball both ended, and school is over. Both boys had their respective banquets at the beginning of the month. We celebrated Bupka’s birthday, Father’s Day and took a...
For the past few years we’ve been keeping you up to speed with the Dare-Devil and his reckless sidekick Fearless . Like any good movie trilogy, for the third installment, we’ve added a new character to the plot, Little Miss Mischievous. As usual it all...
Matt finished up his first T-Ball season tonight. Matt has been chomping at the bit for the past two years while Louie played soccer and t-ball. When I coached the soccer teams Matt was able to hang out at the practices and occasionally get...
Both boys were playing sports this month. Being Matt’s first sport season of any kind we really had no idea what to expect. Growing up I remember my parents encouraging each of us the “play our own sport” And I think going forward we may have to start...
April was crazy busy…and then T-ball & Baseball started. Sam & Susan welcomed Taylor Brooke into the family on April 1st. Easter provided several photo opportunities. There were several Easter egg hunts ( school & church ), Easter egg coloring...
March may have well been Cub Scout month for us. The Tiger Cubs went to Lean TV for an outing. While there they learned to use the various equipment and put together their own TV show. Louie’s first pinewood derby is chronicled here. And there are...
Tonight was the much anticipated Pinewood Derby ! Several times over past month it seemed like tonight would never get here. The past few weekends have been spent cutting, sanding, weighting , painting, and polishing various parts of the car. ...
We woke up to almost 5 inches of snow. An uncommon occurrence for us in South Carolina. The kids didn’t even want to have breakfast before heading out side. This wasn’t Sarah’s first, but it was the first time she was able to spend any real...
And I thought we were busy before… The last two months we have been so busy that we haven’t posted anything but the monthly review. We started the month with a trip to Clemson! It was quite enjoyable. We headed up after school/work on Friday...
This seemed to be the month for visiting Family and Friends. We started this month at the very beginning, August 1st, celebrating Kaiden’s second birthday. Who doesn’t love 2 year old’s parties? There were water games, cake, ice...
July was vacation month. We took a family vacation to the Sunset Beach for a week, went to Clemson for two days and the boys went to the North Carolina mountains to visit Santa Land in a special two day trip with Bupka. Plus two trips to Columbia...
After five days of watching Louie ride around with no training wheels, and several failed attempts earlier in the week, Matt learned to ride his bike with no training wheels today! Watching Matt ride his bike with the training wheels I was confident that...
As promised, here is a picture of the new bike rider… Funny story. Louie was showing off for Mommy and Bupka tonight. He was practicing two things really. 1. Riding, and 2. Turning Around. Yesterday we focused on riding in a straight...
Today was our first full day at the beach. The kids enjoyed the water immensely, like I said, Louie and Matt are completely different kids this year. Wanting to be in the water, not just in the sand. Sarah went out in the waves for an extended stay as...
Sarah’s first trip to the best beach on the east coast (Sunset Beach, NC) started July 4th, 2009. She seemed to like her first day in the ocean, but had other thoughts about the beach itself. Unlike Louie & Matt, SARAH DOES NOT LIKE THE...
