Dog Days of Summer!!

July 24, 2011 Andres & Jack


The trials and tribulations of being 7...does this picture really need any explanation?

I am going to learn to ride this thing!!!

July 24, 2011 My big boy is determined to ride a bike. It was a somewhat successful day and we are looking forward to trying again this weekend!

I'm so proud of you, Jack!!! xoxo

The Petersons come to town!!

July 19, 2011 Laura and the kids came to town and I was so excited to see them. Laura and I have been friends for over 15 years. We have a hard time keeping in touch sometimes with careers, kids...life, but when we talk and see each other it's like a day has never passed since that first day in August of 1995! I love you, Laura and I am so lucky to have such an amazing person in my life. You are a fabulous Mom, but that doesn't surprise me considering your role model! xoxo

Panama City Beach Vacation

The boys and I went on vacation with The Handley Family this year. We headed to PCB for the first time the week of July 10 and had such a great time! It was really nice to relax and spend some time at the beach. We also met up with some other friends while we were there! Thanks to the Handley's for such a fun and fantastic beach vacation!

The kids "catching" a shark


So,maybe the shark was dead on the beach and Taylor convinced Drew she caught it. I mean, whatever! haha


However, Drew did catch this fish..."WITH MY OWN HANDS!!!"

Chick-Fil-A Cow Appreciation Day 2011

July 9, 2011

What is the best way to get free dinner on a Friday night? Well, dress up like a cow, of course! Chick-Fil-A has Cow Appreciation Day every year. They give you free dinner if you dress like a cow! I had forgotten all about it but it's easy to get a reminder when your neighbor works for Corporate! We all had a great time and had a yummy dinner!

EAT MORE CHICKEN!!! :)

No girl for this girl...

July 7, 2011 I was made to have boys! Although I have to tell you that, Chloe, my next door neighbor melts my heart. She is about the sweetest thing ever. She decided that I needed make-up and how can you say no to this sweet 3 year old?
Thank you for making me beautiful, Chloe! You ALMOST make me think I could have handled a girl...then I remember me at age 15! :)

Who needs a carwash?

July 3, 2011My car was BEYOND dirty...inside and out! I don't really enjoy washing my car, I do not find it therapeutic by any means! So, what is the best thing to do? Pay your 5 year old $5 to do it for you!!! :)

The Welch Boys take on Delaware

June 25, 2011The boys headed to Delaware on vacation this year with their Dad. I guess they rented a beach house with the entire Welch Family! The boys said they had a great week with Neil, their Memere and Grandpa and all their Aunts, Uncles and baby Cousins! As you can probably see from this picture that was sent to me, you can see why!

Child Labor Laws??

June 22, 2011I think Andrew is hands down the best Government employee I have ever seen!! What do you think? ;)

A quick note from Mom...

Dear Family and Friends~
I want to let you all know we are still here but it has been one heck of a summer. The boys and I are having a great time and they only have 2 weeks left before they go back to school! Where did the time go?!?! I was lucky enough to have close to 3 weeks off this summer and we even took our first trip to the Gulf. The downside was that we didn't make it to Maine this summer. This is the first time in the decade, yes decade I have lived south of the MD line that I have not been home in July! Please know we miss you all like crazy and I will be posting new entries over the next few days of our summer adventures! I hope everyone is as happy and healthy as the boys and I are! Love to you all!
XO-Sara
