Long Time No Blog

I know it has been a long time since i have blogged and I have decided I am going to make a serious effort to do it more often. I have a good friend who is always telling me to write letters to my kids as she is so great in doing that. But as I thought about it I thought this was the best place for me to do that and to update all of our friends and family in the craziness of our life. Of course I will not be publishing any embarrassing stories of the kids, wait, who am I kidding, I totally will! So come back again in the next couple days and see whats been going on! ~Steph

Drew's 9th Birthday

So almost a month late but better late than never, right? Drew turned 9 on July 22nd and I am still trying to figure out where the time went! He has become such a good young man. He has a personality that everyone he meets is attracted to. He is an amazing athlete at every sport he tries. His loves right now are skateboarding and football. He loves mom's cooking and he loves to cook with and for mom. I do not know really how to describe my little boy because he is exactly who he is supposed to be and that is not really anything you can put into words. We love you Drew!

Blackman Visit

For the second week of July we had the fortune of having the Blackman 4 with us for a whole week. That same week the entire French Fries came down with 5th Disease, yes it is a real thing and we were all sick. With that being said, I did not take many pictures since I felt like crud all week. I did snap a few in the moments before Jim and Jenn picked them up.

Dirt Fun

We went to our friends, Rick and Jen, and the kids had a great time playing on the lawn mower. However by the time they were done...they were filthy. Oh and the last pic of Drew is him being his normal crazy self!

First Beach Trip of 2008

Hey so it has been awhile...but I am posting now :) We went to Holden Beach a couple weekends ago and here are a a few of my favorite pics. Enjoy!

Winter Jam 2008

I took the kids to the Winter Jam 2008 concert this month. They had PureNRG, Group 1 Crew, Mandisa, Newsong, Skillet, Barlow Girl, & Mercy Me all in the same place. We had a great time minus the 3 hour wait in line, the temper tantrums, the nosebleeds, and the fact that it was a long concert. It had a different type of music that each one of the kids liked. Needless to say they all want to go back next year but I think I will take Burton.
