Things to do...

Hello, again! We are back in the routine, so I just grabbed a free minute to show a few pics of where we're at....here's a night at the pool, relaxing before the kids come back. Hobbes, with his favorite hobby(no pun intended), playing vrrroom-or cars, and a few decor pics for my mom and sisters. I will write more later, but for now, love to you all!

Moscow one more time!

Here are just a few pics from our latest Moscow excursion- unfortunately, I did not always bring the camera with me this time, so there are not quite as many adorable pics as usual.:( So, instead, I'll give you a short update on what we managed to cram into 1 short week.
We:
-went to Trinity Fest
-saw "Leave It To Psmith," a play directed by my dad, with Jordan as the star(if you're reading this Jord, way to go!!!) and my 2 sisters in hilarious roles (miss u guys)
-celebrated my mom's 53rd bday(am I supposed to write that?), by going out to dinner and... getting her ears pierced!
- cut Carolyn's hair in such a cute way, that I am very tempted to do the same
-saw my Grandma Garfield, got to spend more time with her
-got to know Naphtali, my new sister-in-law a little better, especially after losing to Seth and her in Star Wars Life...do not underestimate the dark side, guys....we'll get you next time!
-worked a shift at Bucer's with Bray...and of course drank a lot of coffee
-spent time with all our favorite friends...which makes us miss them even more.
We love you all, it was so fun to see you!

ALABAMA!!!

Hey, Everyone!
Sorry it's been awhile- summer is at the heighth of it's craziness...trips, packing, driving, cleaning....it's a whirlwind! We got back to Monroe yesterday evening from a trip to Gadsden, Alabama. It was Bray's Grandma's 90th Birthday, and we had gone to join the rest of Wendy's side of the family to celebrate. His Grandmommy took all of us to Six Flags over Georgia on Tuesday...and we all had a blast! Gotta love huuugeee roller coasters. To tell you how fun and crazy his grandma is, she also took them to Six Flags on her 80th, and plans to do it again for the big 100!!! What a great fam I've married into!
Anyhow, we are on our way to Moscow tomorrow, so I will just show you a few pics from our trip, and give you more details later. Love you all!
For the pics:
Here is almost all the fam. We're still missing:
Remy, Bethany, Archer, Jaiken, Jordan, Matt, Thomas, Emily, Samson, and Laurabelle.

Eating ice cream with Mom for the 1st time! Riding the Carousel with Gigi for the 1st time, driving the car...do it all the time;), playing with Pop and the Alabama basketball he won for Bray, and being cool dudes with Dad.
