Since you've been gone... Fall fun.

Since our parents have left, life has been crazy and fun.

 Me and Ainsley have a girls night and see Disney's Princesses on Ice Dare to Dream.

Ian is "Kinged". He was chosen as the first Kindergartener to get the honor. Mead (his "Big") is putting on hid robe.

I change my first flat tire at 6 weeks post partum. I am woman... hear me roar.

The hunt for the perfect pumpkin.

 Photo opp.

 Ainsley gets to ride Thunder (she was so thrilled) and play on the tractor and in the mound of hay.

 Little miss busy body decided the bale of hay on the top needed to be rolled down to the bottom. She has as much muscle as she does attitude.

 Halloween. Our King and mermaid, ballerina, oh wait Super Girl.

 Candyyyyyyyyy!

 Our growing girl. Kylee is so sweet and such an Happy and good baby.

 Brad's work takes us to a resort in williamsburg. Ian bowled around 100 frames by himself. The girls passed out and Bradley helped his 2nd year team win the resident competition.

I put Ainsley back in the highchair to help contain her.  Tonight this is how she was sitting. Hmmm ...I don't think it's working.  Ian seize a photo opp. My kids really do love each other hopefully it lasts.

Our Elizabeth River Cruise

Every Year they take the residents on The American Rover for a sunset criuse. It was an amazing experience. The ship itself is beautiful and the kids loved every minute of it.

Waiting to set sail.

The Sails go up...

The Crab on the dock post. It's the tan circle blow the water line on the post. I know hard to see with the fuzzy pic.

We watched the sunset, the helicopters pass, saw the construction of a navy boat, watched a paddle river boat go by and even saw a raft carrying navy? divers (forgot what their called- sorry didn't get a picture). It was just like out of a mission impossible movie.

We even got caught in a rain storm, and had to put the sails down and sit in the water for the storm to pass. This picture just doesn't do justice. And when everyone else heades below for cover...

Ian stood out in the rain, while Brad Ainsley and I tried to stay dry under the canopy; we might as well been out with Ian.

And here is one of the many mermaids that dot our city. Ainsley loves spotting them calling 'mermay' 'mermay' when we are driver around town.

Package from Grandma!

Kisses from Ian

Thanks thanks For the fun chairs! We miss you Both so much!

beach fun

We are just loving the Beach. We go about once a week. The bay is only 1.5 miles from our home and the ocean is about 3o minutes. The last two saturdays we've gone to the ocean and Ian is determined we get our own boogie board. I want to try surfing now!

No I'm not pregnant.

Bush Gardens

Bush Gardens! 6-17
We had a blast. It was so hot and we had only been in our home a week so hadn't climatized yet.

This was an awesome tree house? Ian wan't a tree house- that was one of his requirements when looking for our home. Think Brad can deliver? you know with all his spare time!

Ian L_O_V_E_D this roller coaster. He went a couple of times in a row. I wish I had a scanner to show you his face their camera caught.

Our Happy Kids!

I taught Ian to put his hands up on a ride. With this kid it only takes once.

Mile Stones
