30-A Wednesday/Thursday

On Wednesday we had a "dry run" on the kayaks, since we plan to have a 3 hour paddle on Friday. We had no problems. Graham & Hunter sat nicely in the boats and Carter was a big help with the paddling.

Later in the afternoon, we hit the pool for a bit and then took out the bikes to get ice cream. That trip was quite comical. Jason & I took turns pushing our bikes and hanging back with Graham. It took much longer than expected, but the ice cream was very yummy! Later that evening, Jason and Hunter fished in the lake, but still no luck!

On Thursday there were "double red flags" due to Tropical Storm Andrea. The waves were 5-7 feet high and there is a strong rip tide. So, though we couldn't go into the ocean, we went to the beach to check out the 5-7 foot waves. We were able to see how the ocean comes into the coastal lake, which makes the lake brackish.

My friend Laura and her son Lawson came for a visit in the afternoon and we went to the pool and to dinner at stinky's fish camp. Lawson is super cute and it was good to catch up with Laura!

Cookie Exchange

The first Saturday of December, I hosted my first Cookie Exchange. I had been wanting to do this for years, but things were always too busy. I decided to go ahead and do it anyway this year and it was fun! Lots of ladies attended and the cookies were great! Maybe I will do it again...

Hunter is Five!!!!!

Hunter turned the big 05 on Saturday, September 26th. He had a Mario Bros themed party. It turned out pretty well. He had a good turn-out at his party, even though it came a flood about the time everyone had to get in their cars. Thanks to all who braved the weather! The kids had a great time and no one got konked in the head while they were trying to break the pinata! :-) Hunter's Cake - I didn't even cry while decorating it! Daddy and Graham watching the Pinata action! Temporary Tattoos Isaac hitting the Chomp Chomp Pinata Hunters BIG present - A playground that is still sitting in boxes!

Carter for President

So, Saturday afternoon Carter decided he was running for President. This idea came from the book he recently purchased at the school book fair "Spongebob for President". He decided to make flyers saying "Carter for Prezident" and put them all around the house. I went upstairs to fold the laundry and came back downstairs to find his flyer creation station empty. I went outside and saw flyers all around the porch, but no sign of Carter. I called his name inside the house, I called his name outside the house and then I caught a glimpse of him halfway down the driveway. I thought he was heading down the driveway, but he was actually coming back up. I said "What on earth are you doing?" and he said I went to Mr. James' house to ask him to vote for me and he gave me a check. I almost passed out! I thought he had conned our neighbor into giving him a campaing donation. After he made it back to the top of the hill he showed me his notebook where he had writte...
