Ninny's 90th B-day

In the back of Ivey's truck with Kristine and Aurora. They played with some clay and just loves being in the back of the cool truck.


Scott, Riley and Dylan. Owen and Noah have latched on to them and Owen says he is Dylan a lot. As a matter of fact he was Dylan on Thursday after seeing him cut a tree down. These kids have a vivid imagination.

Ninny. Owen and Noah picked out the candles. Always a must have at a b-day party.

Bradley sporting a cool helmet. He is one of their heroes. Also pictured is Buzzy, Ninny, Julie and Daddy before his big back surgery.

2 dorks

This is one morning about 7:30 a week or so ago. We rocked this cool get up on the first cool morning. Scott made them this dirt pile to play in beside their sand box. We hope it will keep them out of the one they made beside our patio. Better yet lets hope they don't bring in the nice red clay to the house.


Owen

Noah

This was the last pool swim of the year up at Bradley's. We truly hate to see the warm pool days go. They had the best summer in the pools at Bradley's and Kool Park. They became brave water animals. They weren't scared and jumped in like men. We will take swim lessons in the spring. So long summer hello fall. My favorite season!! Hence we got married in September and had 2 kids in October a year later. Let the party begin!!!

Discovery Place

They loved looking at the big City. I think they liked it hte best. They were amazed at all the tall buildings and hustle and bustle.


Petting an iguana. I did it too and it was cool.

Loved this area.

Noah

Last month we took a trip to Charlotte and went to Discovery Place. FUN. FUN. We saw all kinds of animals, science and building blocks. It had been a very long time since Scott and I had been there. We will be going back. Then we went to our favorite restaurant: Steak N Shake in Mooresville. Yummy. By then the kiddos were toast. Owen and Noah liked playing the drums that were made up of pots and pans and kitchen utensils. Day trips can be hard since they are always ready for their nap around 1pm but it is always worth it.

Hot Rods

We went to the Hot Rod Show in Newton. It was ultra hot but we had fun. We wanted to see them cruise bit we got there too early, it was hot and we had 4 hungry animals. WE also had an awesome cup of lemonade. Good times...

Noah: this kid is serious about getting a dirt bike.

Owen

Owen and his crazy pose.

I could not resist this crazy Kodak moment. They do have on boxers under there. Only these 2 crazy kids could pull this off. These aprons have come in handy cooking, doing art and building crafts with daddy.

Happy 39th Birthday Daddy

Scott looking cool yet sleepy. Nothing like getting up at 7am and kicking it.

On August 6th Scott had his 39th B-day. Wow!! The boys got him up first thing and did presents and cupcakes for breakfast. I made Scott's favorite: magic middles. mmm mmm good!! All Scott wanted was stuff for his new dirt bike. Which drove me crazy but we love him so much and he is so good to us we got him all his gear and helmet. We love all the memories we make each holiday, birthdays and everyday. I hope we have many more to celebrate. Next year will be Big!!

Skateboarding, bikes and neighbors

A few weeks ago Owen discovered he liked the ride his old skateboard. Following in dad's footsteps for sure. Owen really did well. He skateboarded down the hill and in the road. All with Scott by his side. They even chilled with our neighbors that the love: Brandon, Tyler, Jalen and Trae. Good times in the neighborhood are the best.

In the mountains at Price park

2 monkeys

We went on our own creative trail. We got to play fetch with 2 cool lab dogs.

The Gang: Brie, Christopher, Owen and Noah

Looking for creatures...

Noah as Davis Beckham

Eating our fav chips. Maw-Maw brought some carrots too.

Noah playing soccer with dad.

Owen with the cicada Maw-Maw found. They are bug crazy. They make a good team. Noah is the one who catches or picks them up and Owen is the loving motherly one.

We had a great time at the park. They were not the best listeners b/c there was only a 15 minute nap. Other than them going out to far in the water w/o their swimmies and Scott jumping in and grabbing them it was a success. That scared us to death. I am terrified of water for many reasons. Too many bad things can happen. We made them be done with the water. they got very mad but we found other stuff to do.

Tattoos

Owen

Noah

We got some new tattoos yesterday. We hadn't put on any lately. Noah has a giant buzzard on and Owen a puppy. I am just glad they go away. Please excuse the mess in the background. That is typical everyday. They drag out everything and spread the love.

Happy Birthday America

We had a great 4th. We were sick for over a week before with hands, foot and mouth. It was horrible. Owen got it first and then Noah. We got better and went to a party at Bradley's. Noah swam forever and Owen was busy taking care of his lightning bug and picking flowers for Ninny. We have taught them some facts about America. Remember I was a history major and get thrilled to hear them tell me that Betsy Ross made the first flag and the eagle is the United States of America bird. Love it. We have ben busy staying cool this week. We did catch 2 toads last week and they both went to heaven before the day ended. Owen loves pets. Dead or alive. Poor kid!!
