Painting

When we moved into our new house, every room except the kitchen was painted a very nice shade of yellow.  We want to paint each room a color of our choice & started that today. Our great contractor friends Valance & Robbie did it for us.

Spenser helps paint his room the color he chose (light blue)

Pittsburgh Goodies

Last week my Dad & Jordy drove to Pittsburgh & Michigan to visit family & friends & mainly for Aunt Annie's 75th birthday party.  I really wanted to go but being pregnant decided against it as I didn't know how I would feel. I gave Dad some money & told him that he must bring me back some Sarris chocolates & a Bethel bakery cake!  Pure Heaven! The smell of the chocolates immediately brought me back to my childhood & Easter & I got teary eyed! Of course nothing beats a Bethel Bakery cake & some of my southern friends here that tasted it agreed!

I love all the different "shapes". Also got a helicopter, race car, golf bag & others.

Look at that luscious creamy icing!

Dearest Papa

This is Jon's Dad who died 3 years ago today way too soon for us. We love & miss him everyday. We wish so much he was here to continue to share in our lives. He was wonderful & I'm so glad he was my father in law & the best one at that! We love you!

A Day at the Beach

Today, we went to Wrightsville Beach for the day. Keeping with tradition, Aunt Gabby was here for Spenser's birthday. We had a great day!

Ready to surf!

Spenser's 4th birthday!

We had Spenser's 4th birthday party at our house today. We bought an inflatable pool & I put it at the end of the slide on the swing set so the kids could have a water slide & it was a huge hit!  I think I'll have to try this later myself!

Happy Father's Day!

This is what I got Jon for father's day- M&M's of him & Spenser!

Bathing Beauty

I went to give Dexter water & found this little fellow cooling down in the hot sun in the dog's water bowl!
