So Proud!

I have to brag about Ashley a little.  I am so stinkin’ proud of her!  For those of you that don’t know her very well, she is very introverted in public and social situations.  She’s a crazy wild woman at home, but it takes her a while to warm up to people in public.  She’s [...]

 

I Am Thankful

How was everyone’s Thanksgiving?  Good I hope!  Mine wasn’t exactly as planned. I originally drafted a long post complaining about how nothing went right over Thanksgiving.  But after reading it, I felt like I was rambling so I will shorten it up for you.  Basically, we had to cancel our original plans (having Thanksgiving dinner [...]

 

Love the Lake

We had such a great time at Smith Mountain Lake this weekend!  Now that we are home, I feel like I have a little more time to blog about it. So the drive there on Thursday was quite an adventure.  You wind through the mountain, part of it on an unmarked road, to get to [...]

Today is my birthday and what better way to celebrate than with good friends at Smith Mountain Lake!  We rented a house up here for the weekend.  It’s been a lot of fun so far and the kids are having a blast together.  Here are some pictures from our first day!

 

Supernanny, Where Are You?

“Life affords no greater responsibility, no greater privilege, than the raising of the next generation.” –C.

Apple Addict

We have lots of Apple products in our house.  From iPods, iPhones, and iPad to a Mac mini; we are lovers of all things “Apple”.  So it’s no surprise that Ashley loves them, too.  We even turned the reigns of the iPad over to her because she was using it more than we were.  She’s [...]

 

 

NC State Fair

We went to the NC State Fair this morning.  Being a native of Raleigh, we’ve been to the fair a lot.  But we didn’t go in 2009 because Ashley was just born and we didn’t go in 2010 because Ashley was too young to enjoy it.  So this year we were really excited to take [...]

 

Wedding Anniversary and Hill Ridge Farms

Yesterday was our 7th wedding anniversary!  October is a busy month for us.  Ashley’s birthday is the 12th and our anniversary is the 16th. I’m dying to post pictures from our wedding but the computer that has those photos is unplugged at the moment.  Once Van gets it working again, I’ll post some oldies.  Our [...]

Today was Ashley’s birthday party.  We had a blast, but I am so exhausted!  Thanks to all our friends and family that came to celebrate Ashley’s special day! I’ll write a detailed post about it when I get the pictures back from Uncle Nathan.  But in the mean time, I thought I’d share a family [...]
