WV...again.

We went back to WV to start out 3 WEEK vacation. This time we brought crabs with us. Jena's friend and I were the lone survivors. It took us almost 3 hours to lick them all!

Cousins

We left WV on Sunday....without Jackson. He is staying behind at Grandma Fealy's for the week. I miss him so much already but I know he is in great care and having a blast.

Idlewild, PA

While the boys were biking, Sandy and I took the kids to an amusement park. They all had a great time but I got a little nauseous on the spider ride. Josie and Sawyer are dancing at the Thomas the Train show.

Snowshoe, WV

We went to WV this past weekend so Jason and his brother could act like maniacs and go downhill mountain biking at Snowshoe. I reminded Jason he was 36, not 18. Looks like they had a good time.

Wildwood Boardwalk

While Amber was here we went for some rides and junk food at the boardwalk courtesy of Grandma Fealy. We tried while she and the Fealys were here but got rained out after 2 rides. Of course, we all had a blast. Sawyer is quite the daredevil. The boys rode a motorcycle ride and a little girl we had never met hopped on the back of Jackson's bike. I hope this is not a sign of things to come.

Beach Day

Jason's niece Amber is visiting and we have been trying new recipes and enjoying the Jersey shore. Last night we had Frittata Florentine with tomatoes from our garden.

Auntie Visit

Auntie is here visiting and got a room at the Cape May Motor Inn last night so we could use the pool yesterday and this morning. Every time we dove by this past week on the way to vacation bible school Sawyer would point and say "Auntie's poo, Auntie's poo."

Garden fresh

My garden is really starting to produce! We have had lots of lettuce, cilantro, basil and cucumbers. The peppers and tomatoes are starting now. Sawyer likes to go check on his "cutumbers" everyday. Today we had BLTs with lettuce and tomatoes from our garden. I also made pickles today and want to make pepper jelly soon. Watch out Aunt Mary!!

Union!!

We got some free tickets to the Philadelphia Union Soccer game again this year for military family night. This year Sawyer went too. We had a great time and the union beat Toronto FC 3-0!!

Baking soda, vinegar & food coloring will keep a 3 year old happy.

"Completely Healthy"

Sawyer's pediatrician detected a heart murmur and sent us to a pediatric cardiologist to have it checked out. Turns out it is an "innocent" murmur and the Dr said he is "completely healthy." Yeah!!!!

Harborfest

While Daddy was underway the boys and I enjoyed some fun at Harborfest. They both did the climbing wall and Sawyer even got his picture in the paper! We also bought a 25 ft camper. Jason has been getting it ready and we cant wait to use it. So far we have only done a little back yard camping.

Schools out!!!!

Gramm and Papa came for a visit and for Jackson's last day of school. After Jackson got off the bus, we rode bikes to get a special ice cream treat. We all went fishing with Papa but we only caught 2 small fish. The boys had a great time "fishing" and throwing rocks in the water.

Summer!

Jackson is officially a bike rider and Daddy let him ride his bike to school this week. Today was superhero and princess day for Jackson's Kindergarten class as well as awards day. Jackson dressed as Batman and received the Character Education award for his class. Tomorrow is pajama party day and Wednesday is the last day of school! Sawyer has moved from his tricycle to a real bike with training wheels. They are getting so big!!
