We found a tree to climb, then lost Louie in it, then we found him again.
Louie went to Cub Scout camp this week at Andrew Jackson State Park. One of the activities was Target Shooting with a bee-bee gun. To earn a badge he needed a score of 35+ on five shots. Louie needed only four shots.
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...
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...
Ah, November… Louie marched in the Veterans Day Parade with his Cub Scout Pack. Louie’s Soccer season came to an end. The team was 7-4-1 in the regular season, and 1-1 in the play-offs losing to the eventual Champion. To put the final...
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...
Earlier this summer we purchased a membership to Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, and we have tried several times (unsuccessfully) to plan a visit. This weekend we finally made it. This was not Sarah’s first visit to a zoo, we took her to the National Zoo...
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...
With three kids it’s hard to think that any single month is really that much more hectic or busy than any other. So rather than say we were busy in April, I’ll just say that we were more prolific at getting out video, pictures and blog posts than most...
Saturday was a beautiful, if slightly cold, day. The kids wanted to play out side. Jenny and I wanted to play out side. After a short discussion it was quickly decided that we would go geocaching (the boys still call it treasure hunting ) today...
Today there was a conjunction of the Moon, Venus, and Jupiter today. I thought it was worth a picture. We pointed out the planets to the boys and had a lengthy discussion about the differences between planets and stars.
Yesterday was Katelyn's birthday, and there was a pool party at Grandma & Grandpa's pool to celebrate. Good fun was had by all. Sam spent the afternoon teaching the kids how to do a can-opener. Although I am not sure what he was trying...
Today was the last day of Louie's swimming lessons this summer. My Mom found a woman to give Louie private lessons at her pool. Private in that it would just be Louie and Katelyn. Towards the end of the lesson today Jenny and I came out...
There was a family gathering at the beach this summer. It just so happened to be the week after our trip with the Rineharts. Mom & Dad had rented a house for our family this spring, shortly after Mike emailed the family to see if there was any...
