Le and Daniel's Birthday Party.

We combined Le and Daniel's birthday parties this year.  We rented a pontoon and took ten kids to the lake for the day.  It was a great group of kids who all got along well and it was a great party.  I've posted a lot of pictures and I hope I've included everyone.  Special thanks to Barbar and Kevin who came with us and helped in all of the fun!

First Day of School 2010

I love posting this picture every year.  I like to look back and see the changes.  Le is starting 7th grade and Daniel is in Fourth.  Don't the years fly?

On The Run

I'm working hard folks!  Sandy has been running for about a year.  About 3 months ago I picked up the nasty habit.  I HATED it!  I mean HAAAATTTTTEDDD it!  But I've kept at it every other day.  This past week I crossed some kind of thresh hold.  I've started regretting not running on my "off" days.  SO, for the past few days I've been running every day.  Let me clarify.  I'm not RUNNING.  More like "loping".  But, I'm doing it.  I'm up to two miles.  Again, not great but it's something.  I'm working up to running a 5k Oct. 30th in Greenville.  I think Sandy is going to run it with me and Blair is going to run the half marathon.  We'll see...........

Just wanting to know

Hey Guys,
I have a random question.  I set this blog up for all of our friends and family who are out of town.  A way for all of us to keep up with each other.  I enjoy posting and love to look back at the photos.  It's like a family photo album.  But does anyone ever look?  I get no feedback postings.  I seldom get verbal feedback!  Do me a favor.  If you follow and or check the blog leave a brief comment.  You don't have to let me know who you are if you don't want to.  An inquiring mind wants to know!

Boy Scout Camp (Camp Old Indian)

Le is spending the week at Camp Old Indian. This is the hottest week since 1920. We went up Wednesday for family night. OMG it is so hot! I can't get over these boys attitudes. They are hot and miserable and having a blast. We are so proud of Le. Le is working on his Wilderness Survival Merit Badge for Eagle Scout. He had to hike into the woods with a couple of other boys and build shelter and spend the night in it.........And to think his mother believes Hampton Inn is roughing it.............

Waiting for a breeze.

Le showing us where they built their camp. I wish it had still been standing but they had to tear it down the next morning.

Hanging out at camp.

Look at how tired Le looks.

Le and Spencer.

We brought Le a Coke and a cheeseburger. HEAVEN!!! He devoured it.

I love this picture. I don't know why. I think it's because I can "see" the man to be.

Hot waiting for dismissal to dinner.

Dan, Blair, and I go to the farm

We took a trip to the farm while Le was at Seasalt camp. The pictures are not very exciting but we had a nice time. We played a lot of cards and rode 4 x 4's and hung out with family. Dan and Sissy with Alex in the background.

The weather was great. Not much humidity. We used the good weather as an excuse to go on a picnic on the farm.

Luau the Last Night in Hawaii.

We ended our two weeks in Hawaii with a bang. We had front row seats for a great luau. The food was so much better than I expected. This was one thing that I felt we NEEDED to do but I wasn't excited about it. It ended up being one of the highlights of the trip. Le and Dan "booping" Blair for the millionth time. If it hadn't been so obnoxious this picture would be cute.

I just realized I didn't take a single photo of the actual Luau. Oh well. It was great. The best part of the evening was Sandy giving me a beautiful necklace for planning the trip. Wow!
