Happy Renewal of Vows Anniversary!

This was scheduled to post on Sunday, May 29th but it obviously didn't! Boo!!

Ben and I spent the day saying farewell to some good friends of ours. (It seems like we spend a lot of time doing that!)

We kind of "celebrate" our renewal of vows anniversary because it was very special to have our friends and family with us to celebrate our marriage BUT count on our December 31st wedding as our "real anniversary!"

Here are a few pictures from that day....some of my favorite!

 

One of my FAVORITE pics ever of the two of us!

Happy HALF anniversary Benny!

Only another 7 months and we can do it again!

Mother's Day Continued

Ben REALLY surprised me this year and bought me a compound bow for mother's day. I loved to shoot when I was younger but unfortunately my old bow had broke while I was in college. Ben got me a very basic bow to get back into it. We have already had several sessions shooting it and let several of our friends kids shoot as well. (It's a youth size bow....most of you that know me personally will understand why I need a youth size bow!)


Target shooting



Ready, Aim, Fire!

I did mention that I was ill this weekend right?

Poor Ben is most definitely NOT youth size!

We also had to have a Red Ryder BB gun session!

Chris in on the action!

I was a little under the weather that weekend so pardon my grubiness.

Kindergarten Registation

It has not been almost 5 years since I gave birth to this beautiful little girl & it is not time to register her for kindergarten!

Ok, yes I am still in denial. I got her registered the Monday after mother's day. I am super nervous already and she hasn't even started yet! Kendall on the other hand is ready to ride the bus and go to her big girl school!

My mother-in-law was along so she snapped a few pictures for me!

What's blooming at our house

My sweet Jordan loves to garden with me!

 

1st Annual East Coast Skids Reunion

What is that? Well they are trying to get the old & new skids community together once a year. (Skids is an affectionate term for those who maintain & fly the huey (....the aircraft that my husband flies) and cobra. They also land upon the skids.)

Most importantly, it was a "date night" for Ben and I.

We have been trying to steal one night a month to just be a couple. You know enjoy each other's company without having to cut up anyone's food, yell because someone is being disobedient....just to remind you in case YOU and Your Spouse have forgotten what this is exactly!

So for our kiddos....we love you but need to be able to love each other more so that we can raise you right. That's why our date nights are so important....you don't understand right now but God-willing someday you will!

So fun to get dressed up and not worry about what is on my clothing or in my hair

Carolina BBQ, friends, live music, & seeing some old war heroes!

Have I mentioned that I have the hottest skid pilot around? I would even say the most handsome pilot ever!

Misc post for this morning

Kendall is THRILLED to be a flower girl for the first time this October.

My cousin Sarah is getting married. Kendall loves Ross & Sarah so this should be easy!

 (Isaac is also the ring bearer and the jury is still out on if he will need help down the isle or not.)

Anyway, Sarah sent me these pictures yesterday of the dress for the girls. We LOVE it!

Today is my favorite day of the week!

2011 Sounds of Freedom Air Show

So I started this blog to document our daily lives for my children. I guess a daily journal/baby book kind of thing so that they could look back & remember all of our times together as a family. I also wanted to keep our family & friends that are not near us up to date too.

I have been really slacking and missing my journaling time. Not only that but reading other blogs of people that interested me. I am going to try to make a little space in my day for this "me time" that I need!

In the meantime, I am going to try to get caught up on all of the events that have occured since Easter! Stay tuned. My goal is at least 1 post a day until I am caught up!

This past Sunday, we went to the MCAS New River Sounds of Freedom Air Show. We go just about every year & love to look at all the aircraft plus enjoy the show. This year, we knew that we only had a few hours since we also had Kendall's end of season soccer party as well.

We enjoyed free food (compliments of tickets from a friend) and also front row seats in one of the VIP tents. (also free from a random gentleman!)

We did get sort of rained out near the end but it was only about 20 minutes until we had to leave anyway! Hope you enjoy the pictures.

All kinds of fun bouncy things!

I love him!!

It smooshed me mom!

In front of daddy's Huey!
Soon to be the "old huey!"

Flying in the flag!

Very neat performance!
