We love summer!

Fun Pics

We are having fun and enjoying the summer! Here are some pics of us at the beach and with our whole family at the Japanese steak house here in town. We were saying to good bye to our cousin Dawn who was in town visiting before she starts her very exciting college career! We are so proud of you sweetie and can't wait for you to visit next summer and tell us all about the boys and parties, oh ya and the classes!

They let the "kids" take turns playing the drums. Ans yes some of the bigger kids played too!

This is a great shot if you keep in mind a 5yr old took it!

Another perfect day OBX style ;)

This is Seth's best friend from school, they had a great day together!

Sethy and Dawn! Ahhhhhh!

Family love. We might have to relocate to West Virginia! LOL!

Seth's Birthday is next week, the 20th, so we will have lots of great pics and stories to update with! See ya then :)

HAPPY 4TH

Happy 4th everybody! Hope ya"ll had as great a time as we did! We set up a popcorn booth at our local fire work festival and made a little over $520 (after paying for supplies of course) to donate to the CFF!! Not only did it raise some great money but it was a blast! Seth lost his tooth in the watermelon eating contest and still managed to take second place!

Thanks so much to Holy Family Catholic Church for letting us borrow their popcorn machine! And to all our family and friends who came out to help and support us!

May 15th was a BIG day!

This was such a beautiful and busy weekend and we had so much fun!

Friday night we had dinner with pirates at the Musuem of the Albemarle which included dinner, games, music that the kids were able to participate in and of course Pirates! Saturday we had t-ball pics (which he could not have been any more handsome in with his beautiful hair and backwards hat) then a game. This is his third game and he finally seems to be getting the hang of it. He hit the ball both times at bat off the coaches pitch (that right t-ball no longer involves a tee, weird huh?!?) and even paid a little attention in the out field. So all in all I was a very proud mama ;-) We wanted to have lunch with daddy who was working that day but didn't have much time since we were due to volunteer at the potato festival at noon so we settled for a very romantic sandwich in the truck while Seth changed his clothes in the back seat! The festival was a blast we always see so many people we haven't seen in so long and Seth ran into several friends from school and of course his cousins. After 2 hours of volunteering and 1 hour of walking around buying this child everything in sight I was pooped and ready to head home, lucky for me he was pooped too so we found our way to our couch! All in all it was a really perfect day, hope you all enjoyed yours as well!

What did I get for Mother's Day???

Seth saw a commercial on Nick for a Scooby Doo Marathon that your supposed to watch with your mom...lucky me! The good news is that he let me snuggle the while time which I LOVED!!! Not to mention several colored "cards". I've also found on Mother's Day being so thankful to be a mother to this beautiful boy (even if he did show his tail at the resturant)! Hope everyone else had a great day full of snuggling too!

The Meaning of CF family!

So Seth's tummy got very upset suddenly at school on Tuesday and he had a "big potty" accident right there in the middle of the school office while waiting to take his enzymes. Turns out he's been taking his enzymes before his meals and then not really eating therefore resulting in a seriously upset stomach and apparently "EXPLOSIVE DIAHREA!!". So anyway his teacher calls me and I'm rushing to get there with fresh clothes knowing that he is akwardly standing around with poopy pants awaiting his mom to come clean it (the joys of motherhood!). When I arrive at the nurses office he has been cleaned off and his clothes rinsed out, turns out another CF mom whos son also attends Seths school (but it in a seperate hall because of the age difference) happened to be volunteering at the front desk that day and understanding the situation took it upon herself to take care of a member of the "CF Family". Seth and I both know Kim so we were both comfortable and happy to have her there. I didn't expect to feel so emotional over what started off as a wordrobe change but it was really great to see a friendly face taking care of my baby the way I would and understanding in a way that so many others would not, that shit happens to CFers. Thanks Kim, and I promise if your kid ever needs it I will wipe his butt too!!! ;)

We are having a great spring!!!!
