Our little one

Mason is just too cute for his own good.

Halloween 2009

Pretty Girl Emily

Birthdays

This month Pete and I both got a year older.

It's that time again...

Time to be on the look out for spooks and goblins. I'm so excited we are all going to dress up this year. Yes, I convinced Pete to wear a costume. Jacob will be a scary warlock, Emily will be a devil, Mason will be either a dragon or a dog. He hasn't made up his mind yet. I'll be a vampiress and Pete will be spider food. I've decorated the house inside and out. We are going to carve Jack-o-lanterns next weekend so they will keep longer. Every time we carve them early they end up all moldy. Since Halloween is on a Saturday I'm sure the ghosts will be out in full swing.

Mason

Yesterday we had a play date at one of the local parks. My friend Tiffany invited a photographer to come and take some pictures of the kids having fun. They turned out great. I was supprised I thought for sure Mason would look a mess. He spend about 20 minutes "rolling down the sand hills".

Pine Knoll Shores Aquarium

We went to the local aquarium with some good friends of ours the Brown family.

Yard Work

We spent Labor Day weekend landscaping. The front flower beds were horribly overgrown. We had to til it up there were so many weeds. It look so much better now.

USS North Carolina

Althougth it was HOT, we really enjoyed touring the USS North Carolina. Seeing the ship as it was during the war was impressive. The letter at the top is from a Jim Ellis to his family back home. I just had to take a picture of it. I wonder if he is any relation to me.

First day of School

Emily going to the 6th grade.
