Girl Time!

Isabel had a girls day with Lily and Faith. The girls came over for a few hours while their mommies went on a field trip with their boys. We started inside playing dressup but spent most of the time outside enjoying the beautiful spring day.

The girls loved the trampoline. Faith was giggling so much it was cracking me up!

It was a great day for blowing pinwheels..cute cheeks!

On our walk we counted the worms and the girls inspected them very carefully..and yes they wanted to hold them ;)

"hmmm, can we pick these mommy?"

Only Isabel attempted the scooter..for 2 seconds.

They all took turns riding on the trike and I pushed them around the culdesac.

The girls definetely had a lot of fun and I enjoyed it just as much!!

Raising the roof with Edwin McCain an event for habitat for humanity

How does shucking oysters, low country boil (shrimp and grits) and BBQ all with open bar sound? Now add an oldie but goody concert and we had ourselves a really good time!! Laura invited us to this event last Thursday and it was great.

Natalie going to work!

The oysters were steamed on the spot and layed out on these tables. Natalie wasted no time and started shucking them. It was obvious I had no idea what to do so she put me to work by getting the saltines and cocktail sauce as she went to work. They were yummy!

Laura joining in on the fun.

Natalie enjoying the oyster.


The concert was really good and of course we didn't miss the opportunity of a photo shot with Edwin!

This was "curly" as I named him when he was making eyes with me from the stage ;) His name, appropriately, is Larry.

Natalie, Laura and Allison

So fun! Thanks ladies for a great night!

Kids staying in!

Jackson had a tough week of a nagging low grade fever.

We made the best of it by playing games, reading, coloring, sleeping and of course goofing off

with the camera!

Isabel lovin' on her favorite brother!

Like our mess?

A few mornings we did yoga on tv. They loved it and got a good workout too!

The kids had a great time goofing around and dancing...enjoy!

Isa can be a little stinker and here's a little blip of it ;)

Weekend trip to the beach

On February 20th. we headed to N.Myrtle with the Tam family. We celebrated Tony and Chad's birthday (both on this same day) and also we celebrated our 9th year anniversary. We stayed at the Dunes village resort. The weather was not for being outside so Kelly hooked us up with this great hotel with 2 indoor water parks. Jackson and Abby felt like the park was just for them as they held hands in the pools and going to the water slides...too cute!

Jackson and Abby picking up seashells in the freezing cold!

Isabel didn't want to walk so she plopped herself down and started gathering her shells.

Isabel was also cold but very bundled up.

Isabel and I bundled up enjoying the sound of the beach...one of my favorite sounds ;)

Chubster Carter almost asleep ;) A super baby!

Isabel loved holding Carter. She would kiss him several times and tell me, "Mommy, I kiss baby" like she couldn't believe she was doing it..so sweet.

Yes, Carter is only 4 months old and almost as long as Isa!!

Planning our day while Chad and Tony served up breakfast..our husbands rock!!

It's not a birthday without cake! We also ate at P.F. Changs...delicious! We had a great weekend that was too short! Thank you Tam family for an awesome time!!

We stopped at the outlets on our way out and the kids got in the Children's Place display...some onlookers really thought they were mannequins! Very funny!
