Weekend Getaway

We decided to take one of those nice little long weekend trips this past weekend. We drove up to Washington to surprise my siter and brother in law to be their for our nephew Nathan's 1st birthday party! (Still can't believe he is 1 already)! We enjoyed spending some time with them on Saturday and then we drove down to VA Beach to spend the day together on Sunday. We had a great day! The weather was perfect - we put our tent up on the beach, and stayed on it until about 8pm! We played Bocci, played in the sand, boogie-boarded...and just had a great time! It was a fun time together! Here are a couple of pics from our weekend adventure. Peyton did get pretty tired of riding in the car and had some "moments" - but otherwise, we throughly enjoyed our long weekend! I still need to catch up and post my mission trip and Disney pics - just haven't had the time! Hopefully Soon! :-)

Has it really been 1/2 a year since I posted? Wow! A lot happens in a year. I don't even know where to start to catch up on a half a year. I guess I can't really! One of the major points of interest was that Kevin graduated in December with his Masters in Business Administration from Winthrop University. I am so proud of him for this accomplishment! He went to school while working full time and never letting his duties of being a dad and husband slide at home either! Our super hero for sure!!!

The boys are growing like weeds! Brayden is still swimming and playing baseball! He won his first race last weekend up at SwimMAC in Charlotte. He came in first in his breaststroke race! We were very proud of him! He is doing really good is baseball this year too! Pete continues to keep us busy as well! He is very talkative these days! He loves to point out "Octagons" AKA Stop signs, everywhere we go! We are working on potty training and trying to take Pappy away! :)

Brayden also took his first flight a couple months ago with one of our friends who is a pilot. He said he was a little nervous at first, but he loved it. We flew over our house, his school, and most of Lancaster! We really enjoyed it!

And we enjoyed Easter together as a family! It was a a nice time together. We spent time with my parents and with Kevin's parents. We didn't realize that the very next week my Dad would be hospitalized with severe pain in his back and legs. He is still fighting with it and is now in a rehab faciility as the doctor's are tying to figure out what to do next. Please keep him and my Mom in your prayers as they are trying to go through this very difficult stage!
