Memorial Day Weekend...

I hope you all had a good Memorial day holiday. We actually had a very good weekend. We started out Friday by going strawberry picking. Emma and Steven had a great time. Emma really picked it up quick, but was not as keen on weeding out the bad ones. Saturday we had the family over as Doug, Trish, Emily, Jody, and Tommy came over for a cookout. I cut the grass early that morning, then we went shopping and then back to the house so the kids could play. For dinner, BBQ chicken breasts on the grill with hot dogs, corn on the cob, rice, green beans, walnut ginger salad, strawberries, (that we picked) and last but not least, smores... Sunday we did some yard work and just hung out at the house. Monday, I got to go hit some balls and practice golf for a few hours in the morning, and then we hung out a little bit before Amy laid down for a nap. (she had to work Monday night) She got up a little early and we took the kids to the pool. They really love to go there. Emma eats it up. I will post some of the pictures from the weekend.

It has been a while!! Blogging is hard, with 2 kiddos

Hey everyone. Like the title says, blogging is hard with two kiddos. By the time you are done running, and eating, and cleaning up after everyone..., there is not much time left to blog. I promise to try to do better. Maybe Amy and I can rotate, and each blog every 5 days to a week. My sis and her boyfriend are here visiting this weekend, (yay) and are crashed on the sofa resting. Steven is downstairs playing, and Emma is napping as well as Amy (she has work tonight), so I am taking what window I have to get a quick blog in. We have done quite a bit since the last blog. We went to Asheville, NC. to visit Amy's grandmother on Mothers day weekend. That was a long (but nice) trip. It was good to see everyone, and the kids did pretty well in the car on the drive. I don't think Emma is ready for a trip over 4 1/2 hrs for a little while. It was very pretty there in the mountains, and there was plenty of good food. we stayed in a nice hotel with a pool which the kids of course loved. The weather here is looking good. Supposed to be in the upper 70's to mid 80's all this next week. We just got ginger bathed up and shaved for the summer, so she looks really good too. Steven also got his first buzz cut of the impending summer. Emma and I have a litte bit of a cold. Just a little sniffly and she is coughing a little, but nothing bad, and no fever. hopefully this is the last cold of the season, and we can move on to the fun of summer. Steven only has a week or two left of school and then he will be in summer camp of one sort or another for the next few months. Hopefully we can catch up with some friends over the next few months we have not seen in a while, and maybe get to Va once before our beach trip in July for Emma and Tommy's birthday's. Out yard work is finally done as well, and we actually have some grass!! Hopefully we can continue to get rain a day or two a week and it will keep growing. Anyways, let me conclude with some photos of those said kiddos, and some of the stuff they have been doing.

Thats all I got for now. Everyone have a good weekend!!
