Great Wolf Lodge

Over Labor Day weekend we spend an extra fun night/day at the Great Wolf Lodge.  MUST do this again!  The kids had a blast, Brian and I had a blast and we enjoyed the company of friends when we went as well.  Definitely a must do again...did I already say that?

Matt and Tandi Visit from Mississippi

Matt and Tandi were making a vacation trip to Bowling Rock in NC and stopped in to spend a night with us.  What fun and such a treat!  We enjoyed having them and look forward to our next time together.

Kate Turns 2!

Karen and James invited us over to their beautiful home for Kate's 2nd birthday.  It was a butterfly theme and the children got to play outside on a massive swing set that James constructed for Kate and James for Christmas.  They also grilled out hamburgers and hot dogs.  Thanks for the invite Karen and thanks Kate for sharing your day with us!

Karen got crafty!

The beautiful birthday girl!

Bowling Fun

Sunday we met up with our friends, The Clarke's and went bowling.  They are getting ready to move to Columbia so we wanted to get together before the big moving day.  We'll miss ya'll!

Peyton and Hayden

Peyton's best little friend from school came over to spend the night and have a last hoo ra ra before moving to Columbia.  We will miss the Hayden stories and the get togethers.  I think they stayed up until 12:30 or so and were back up again at 6:30.  Couldn't tell they were lacking any sleep from these pictures though!

We'll have to do it again Hayden....soon!

Happy Cow Field Trip

I took off work today and joined Peyton's class on a field trip to Happy Cow Creamery and 12 Aprils Farm. We had a really great time learning all about the cows and their milk and we even got to sample milk and ice cream. The children got to take home a decorated pumpkin as well. While I was there I bought potato bread, whole milk, and two different types of cheese. It was quite the treat!

Christmas with Denise

Denise, Drew, and Charlie invited us down to Greenwood for some good food and fun to celebrate Christmas. It was a great chance to catch up. Denise and Drew used to be our neighbors but moved to Greenwood and we miss them terribly! Charlie built a beautiful home and it's always fun to go down and spend time at his house as well as on the farm that his family owns. It's about a 45 minute drive and the kids were flat worn out....as you can tell!
