Spoiled Rotten

Recently, Caroline has shown great interest in riding vehicles and she has always loved to stay outside so the answer to that equation is found below. Missy and Ben let us borrow a couple of ride-on toys that Clayton had outgrown and she had a blast on them although she had kind of outgrown them as well. We were going to wait until Christmas, but she would enjoy it so much this summer. I know...I am still trying to justify it in my head. At least we spent part of our Stimulas Tax Check the way the President wanted us to!

Drew was here on Sunday for Mother's Day so he got to ride on the maiden voyage. He was very brave.
Watch out Luke...the driver is not watching where she is going. Drew is holding on for dear life.
I had to include this picture of our niece, Mary Rian. She is so cute!

Time for a Haircut

On Friday, Caroline, Arianna, and I headed for Virginia Beach to this cool Kid's Salon called Pigtails & Crewcuts at Hilltop. Caroline has huge issues with washing, combing, really anything that has to do with her hair so I knew this was going to be quite an exciting adventure. I picked this place because they have the cool seats to sit in and they have movies at every station for distraction purposes and because I knew we wouldn't know anyone in case she threw a huge fit! She really surprised me and did great. I figured we could go there a couple more times and then she would get used to Lori cutting her hair. The hair issues were really affecting Lori and Caroline's relationship and I didn't want that to happen so that is why I decided to take her elsewhere. Doesn't she look cute sitting in her fire truck!

Bachelorette Party

Our friends, Ricky and Ada, are getting married next weekend and we are so excited for them. I am the Mistress of Ceremonies, Wes is a groomsman, and Caroline is the flower girl. We are honored to be such a big part of their special day! Here is a photo from the bachelorette party this past weekend. I will post pictures of Caroline in her beautiful dress the week after the wedding and give a report on her performance...which I hope is very good!

Playground

We recently found out how much Caroline loves playground equipment after she spent a couple of hours playing at Clayton's house and at the beach. Well, we have a big playground in Courtland so on Tuesday afternoon Gan, GG, Caroline, Arianna, and I headed over there for an afternoon of fun! Now I am not so sure she should know that we have one that close....she can't stop talking about it. I am sure you will be able to find us there quite often in the next few months :)

First Weekend at The BEACH!

We spent this past weekend at the beach and had a great time. We stayed at Pirate's Cove - that place is awesome - thanks Big and MeMe! We took our golf cart and cruised around the whole place including watching the boats come in from fishing, we fed the tamed ducks at the back door of the condo, we played on the playground, and even went and put our feet in the ocean. The weather was great so we actually spend the whole morning and early afternoon on the beach. We cruised our golf cart over to Hurricane Mo's restaurant for dinner with the girls. Everyone had a blast. We didn't get many pictures, but we will be going back so I will get more later.

EASTER 2008

Easter Sunday Morning we got up and saw what the Easter Bunny had left for us....a whole bunch of candy and a few toys - then we went to church. Caroline had been practicing with the children's choir for months now and she did stand up there and behave, but I don't think the singing thing has caught on yet. She is still practicing with them and her next performance is Mother's Day so we will see how she does. She has started singing a little bit now, but it is only Happy Birthday.

Of course the girls had to have matching dresses :)
