On the 7th we flew into Virginia....first time we've ever flown with the kids....wow that was super fun! Let's just say Crew knew his juice and every treat was "tainted", so the good stuff didn't take effect until a 1/2 hour before we landed.....so let's just say I was a little more sneaky for the trip home. We stayed in a major ghetto motel I pricelined.....so not what was pictured on the net. The older boys were like "where's the beach?" and Cade said, "is this the beach house?" and I said, "no" and he's like, "whew!" That kid cracks me up.
The next day we drove to North Carolina to the Outer Banks in our "suburban" that I so called reserved. I guess the car renters assumed a suburban is the same as a jeep. Crew was holding down the fort in the back seat completely surrounded by luggage. I told him to hold up the luggage and he said, "Okay mom" with this puzzled look on his face.
Once we got to the beach house, Paul's sister Erin and her family met us there. They had gone to Washington D.C. to sightsee and visit Gene and Judie who are on their mission there. Gene and Judie followed them back from D.C., so they could hang out with us for a few days.
We had a great time....minus the heat wave of utter humidity for the first 2 days, but then a storm came through during the night...lightning was hitting the sand in front of the house....so cool....and then it cooled off. The water was warm and didn't have all the seaweed that the Pacific has. We couldn't get the kids out of the water.....except Crew....he spent all day running in and out so the water wouldn't get him. Hey, whatever keeps 'em busy!
It's been about 10 years since I've been in the ocean swimming, and I actually got in and boogie boarded (well attempted). The only time we ventured off to do something was to go see some lighthouses and the day we left we went to the naval base in Virginia. The ships were really sweet minus the lame tour.
All in all it was a fabulous time....great company and great scenery!

Just thought I'd give a shout out to those handsome boys I call my kids. This is one of those rare moments when they all would hold still for a "group" photo.

So, I did something this weekend that was one of the hardest things I've done, and Paul came with me to support...he's the best. I participated in the Crossfit certification. Wow, what a crazy weekend. You can go to their website www.crossfit.com and check it out. You have to scroll down to April 20 to see my pic on the site. I'm only posting this cause it's the newest thing I've done and I'm sure it's been too long since I posted. And it might be the only time I'll be on the internet (besides the blog..... And maybe those weak moments of crazy behavior that were taped and then put on youtube...haha!)

Allright, so I know everyone is sick of my "anniversary" post, but I haven't downloaded any new pics to the computer yet. So, I'm sharing this instead.......
(I will have new pics soon......I know you're all dying to see them.....haha....our lives are so exciting)

March 11
Happy Anniversary
It's been a wild and crazy l4 year ride with my sweetheart (well actually 17...we dated in high school...I know pathetic). That's the advantages to getting married young....you don't know what's out there...haha!
I hate to admit it, but I think we knew we were meant for each other when I first shared my red licorice with him in seminary class so many years ago.
There's never been a dull moment spent with Paul...or with the other "mini" Pauls running around the house now...boy am I in for it!
Here's to hopefully many more years to come!
Unfortunately, I couldn't include the "earlier" photos of our times together (we weren't digitized yet). But I do have a wedding video that's definitely worth sharing as soon as I convert it to DVD...........good stuff!
Well, it's been awhile since I've posted, but I feel like I've been in a dark abyss of sickness with the kids and Paul. I don't think I've ever done so much laundry or washed my hands as much as I did these last weeks....and that's a lot to say for me...haha! That's why my hands look as though I'm 80. (Nothing against the 80 somethings) So, needless to say, the pics have been sparse....
This is where I Wished I had been for the last 2 weeks.....and this is where the kids wished they had been ...Legoland

Our beloved Todd.
For our Christmas Eve party, we had a pajama party. Wow Todd....you went way out! So festive....There was a flap and everything..........
Kudos!
Cade took it into his own hands to "trim" his hair. So, needless to say, we had to buzz the rest off.
