Merry Christmas

Our "Extreme" Soccer Player

Summer 2007 Soccer season comes to a close the end of October.

Rendan played on team Extreme. He had a good time playing this year.

Pirateland Camping

Probably not much explaination needed.

It's a bit sad how much we pull out for a weekend...

Mom likes her privacy....

Serenity for all : ) NOT

Happy Halloween

Here's a couple of pictures from our evening of Ghouls and Goblins.

Texas Stadium

That's right, we were there and we got down on the field and had fun running around.

The Yorktown Trip

Here's some photos from our visit to the Yorktown Carrier in Charleston, SC.

The above photos were taken on the deck, the flight room and in the control room. Rendan tried his hand at the guns and that's us in front of the new Ravenel Bridge which connects the peninsula to Mt Pleasant.

Below you'll see Den 12, Tim cooling it in the Captains chair, Rendan trying out the pilots seat, the sleeping quarters for the weekend, and the luxury bathrooms : ).

We enjoyed lunch outside with Phil, Laura and the kids.

The end of a great day. It was truly a beautiful sunset over Charleston Harbour where the dolphins were playing and the boats were winding down for the day.

Birthday with the Girls....

If you were there you know the story, if you weren't.....sorry about that. Posting the picture for the girls. Thanks for the evening ladies- You're the best. DO : )

Labor Day

Woooweee. What a nice end to 'summer'. We spent a great weekend in Myrtle Beach visiting with family, eating good food, and soaking up the sun on the beach. The kids had a great time playing together inside and outside. Other than some illnesses the kids started sharing by the end of the weekend it was a great time had by all. Until next year....here's a sampling of the events.

Kerr Lake with friends

What a nice day we spent at the lake with Mrs. Daphine and Mr. Ronnie. Tim and Dawn tried tubing for the first time and Rendan braved swimming in the lake for the first time. We enjoyed riding on the boat and playing in the water. We finished the day with a great feast complete with shrimp, chicken, corn and more sweets than anyone should have in a month.

Carolina Kids....Meet the Tarheels 07

Annual meeting of the UNC Tarheels football team. 3 things to say.....hot....crowded.....and dead camera batteries...... need I say more??

As we always do, we intended to take Rendan's picture on the field. Here's the only 3 pictures I was able to capture with my dying, dying, dead batteries.

Beach fling and 1st day of School

We spent the last week of summer vacation at the beach with Mema and Ms. Beverly. After a fun weekend, Rendan started his first day of 3rd grade. He is now in year round school. On his first day of school he's sporting his new school spirit by wearing a Salem Salamanders shirt.

Soccer Try-Outs

Rendan tried out for the Apex Soccer League on a very hot Saturday morning. Soon after he got the call from Coach Rick that he would be on the Extreme team.....

Zachary's Birthday Bash

Happy 9th Birthday to Sir Zachary. What a great time everyone had playing games and riding rides. The Drop Zone seemed to be the best!!

You may be able to tell from the faces of those that were brave enough to ride.

Thanks for a great time!

Lake Lure Vacation

Here we are taking a little rest at Lake Lure with the family. It was a very nice, relaxing week in the mountains. We spent time together, resting, reading, watching movies, playing with the kids, holding the baby, and touring the lake. Of course, there's a shot in here of Tim's friendly find (walking stick). Enjoy the pictures.
