More Pictures from the Weekend

Water Fairies

Matt & Olivia in the ocean

Boogie Boarding

Saltwater Cowboy Sunset

Huggy Girls

Avery thought this lady waiting for a table was Nana (Scott's mom). It was pretty funny to hear Avery yelling Nana's name over and over right after I took this picture.

Memorial Day Weekend

We headed to the beach for some R&R and super fun this weekend!
Today is my birthday and we went out on the beach this morning and now we are about to head to dinner. Yesterday was my sister Becky's birthday, we got subs and drank beer and watched 'You Tube' clips. It was fun.

Here are a few pics from today - stay tuned for more to come.

Sand Castle Training

Avery & Olivia

I LOVE this picture!

A ruined day for 3 young boys (all 3 went to jail)

The Daugherty's Visit

All of our out of town guests have to experience Satchel's Pizza and as usual the pizza was yummy and the kids had a great time.

Matt picked out the pizza and it was amazingly good - jalapeno, bacon, onion and pineapple.

So cute!

After dinner they played in the tub

Avery's First Dentist Appointment

Avery had her first dentist appointment last week. She did such a good job and was so cooperative. We did find out that her 'silly' tooth is indeed a fused tooth and she has TWO permanent teeth in it's spot as well, so the dentist tells me he'll need to assist the tooth fairy when those teeth start to come in. I also gathered from him that she will more than likely need braces. Fun stuff, huh? I wasn't super surprised.

Here she is being so good during her cleaning.

MeeMaw Slaw

My mom's mom could make the BEST slaw! Our family is forever trying to master the 'Meemaw Slaw'. I came close last week to getting it just right, but it still isn't the same.

It's your conception day!

This is probably a little weird and creepy to most of you, but May 20th is a very special day for us. Avery was conceived in a little petri dish on May 20th 2004.

Here she is 4 years later!

Domesticated Weekend

What a weekend of domestication!
I had been meaning to clean out closets and unpack boxes from when we moved in November of 2006! I am embarrassed to say I have been keeping clothes from 10 years ago.
#1 I thought I might get back in to them (haha)!
#2 they're really out of style!

We had some help this weekend rearranging our attic and moving some of the paint cans and left over house parts up to the attic. We really need a garden shed and a garage, but I digress.

Scott spent the entire weekend outside planting the garden (mostly tomatoes and peppers) and various other plants.

I cooked chicken and dumplin's this weekend - which was prompted from reading Scott's sister, Laura's blog. I didn't follow the entire recipe, but I did use the dumplin' part of the recipe and they were very good. Light and fluffy! We also tried both of Laura's homemade jams this weekend - yums! I think the apple butter is my favorite.

The Daugherty's arrive this week. We are so very excited to have them visit. We plan to head to the beach for a few days and hopefully take them out on our friend's boat.
