Happy Anniversary!

It's been a long time since our prom 16 years ago!! Jeremy gave me his class ring on May 30, 1993. (Even though from about October 1992, we were always together!!) We were married 5 years later on May 30, 1998. Married for 11 years!!! WOW!! Time flies when you're having fun, huh?! I married the most perfectly wonderful man. No one could ask for a better husband or father. Once, I mentioned that I'd like a bookshelf to fill an empty spot in the living room. A week later, he brought home a perfect cabinet he'd built to surprise me! He came home during lunch one day while I wasn't home, put a rose on the bed and rose petals on top of the ceiling fan. That night, he turned on the fan, and rose petals filled our bedroom! I've never wanted for anything because he works so hard to make sure he provides for our family. And don't get me started on what a PERFECT Daddy he is!!! There is nothing he won't do for our boys, including "beat up time on Daddy", "Ball Fights" (which means throw every ball in the room AT Daddy!), playing in the fridged ocean water in April, and the sweet excitement he showed when they all learned to ride a two-wheeler! There are not enough words to describe the perfect man that I was blessed to marry. I can only say how thankful I am that he never gave up on me, no matter how many times I turned him down. I am so blessed to have him in my life and I pray that I can show him everyday how precious he is to me... I love you, Babe!!! Happy 11th Anniversary!

No More McDonald's for Daddy!

Riding home from the beach. The pictures are pretty self-explanatory!!!

Lots of Beach Fun!

We had lots of fun at the beach over the Memorial weekend. Carolina Beach has fun rides at the boardwalk and a great fireworks show! The boys and Daddy searched for (and found!) lots of sharks teeth. On a walk on the Rocks at Fort Fisher, we saw a man catch a sea turtle! We watched while another man cut the line and set him free! The boys LOVED that! More crab hunting on the Rocks, too. No trip to the beach is complete without a trip to the arcade,of course. Ry hit the jackpot on tickets a few times, so he was able to get a mini skateboard for a prize. We went for a walk on the pier and watched a man catch a 11 pound blue fish!!

Lazy 5 Ranch

Avery's last field trip this year was to Lazy 5 Ranch. It's always fun to watch the kids reactions to all the animals! At the beginning of the wagon ride, a big cow of some kind slimed Avery's seat with it's big tongue! He refused to sit down til it dried!! He fed a giraffe from the bucket. Last time he fed a giraffe, he was about 2 years old. He walked around pointing at his hand saying "Big Horsey" for months! He even did it in his sleep!! We had a fun time, but left before his class went to have lunch at a park, so we could head to the beach.

Graduation Day!

I have no more babies!!! Bryson has his preschool graduation on May 21st. He sang loud and looked like such a big boy!

I Scream! You Scream!

Today was Bryson's last day of preschool. Where has the time gone? He's so excited to move on to kindergarten! The teachers gave me a collection of pictures from this year and it's exciting (and sad!) to see how much he's changed. I went for his ice cream party. He LOVES chocolate and sprinkles!!

Avery loses tooth #7!

Avery bit down on a lucky charm marshmallow and seriously loosened a tooth! He went to brush his teeth that night and pulled it on his own!! (By the way, his teeth are NOT as yellow as they appear in the picture!!)
