More interesting March happenings

If anyone has not noticed, I actually give birth to fish. Any where there may be a pool, ocean or lake my kids will be in the water. Now they have taken up a new past time. Jillian, Gabrielle and Sebastian are playing tennis...OK they are learning to play tennis. They have had only one lesson so far, but enjoyed it immensely and are sooo looking forward to this coming Thurdsay. The next big exciting thing is.....Jillian got braces on her top teeth today. She was so excited that she was actually counting down the days.

MARCHing on thru the year!!

Hello again to all. It is now March and I know have a few things to report on...YEA!!! This past weekend the kids and I took a little trip up to our Nations Capital to kill to birds with one stone. First stone to be thrown...Adam's Grandfather found out just after his 84th birthday that he has lung cancer (this cancer thing need to be put on hold it is effecting to many of my loved ones). We were planning on seeing the grandparents Easter but since this popped up we (Adam & I) decided that it would be best for the kids to see their great-grandparents before they are no longer themselves. They are some of the few truly good people in this world.

Now for the second stone to be cast...which actually is a double edge sword of sorts..I think, anyway for those of you that I don't talk with as often, Adam is in Bethesda, MD going to comptroller school and has been there since the first of January, so we were up there to visit with him. Now for the double side...the little girls have been asking to go to DC and see the Lincoln and Washington memorials. I bet you can't guess what we did???? Anyone??? We saw the White House and the Capital and all the other memorials.....AGAIN as Maddison put it for like the five thousandth time!! This time was neat, the girls and even Sebastian really seemed to be interested and enjoyed all the walking. Now you too can enjoy DC with these great pics!

WOW its already FEBRUARY!!!

Happy February to everyone...only 10 and half months to go until Christmas...YEA!

Well with Adam being gone the kids and I decided we needed a little down time and this last weekend came the most perfect opportunity. My neighbor to the right (whose husband is also gone) received a great offer to a hotel in Myrtle Beach, SC, so she invited us and another of our neighbors. In all there were 14 of us in a 4 bedroom condo. Guess what? not once did we feel we were tripping over each other...it was great. The hotel had a terrific indoor pool, lazy river (where Sebastian spent most of his time), play area and 3 hot tubs. Did I mention that my children have developed gills and fins and scales? Here are a few pics from the kids playing in the water... If anyone is wondering where Maddison is .....why? She is 15 and too cool to be seen swimming with the little kids and OHHH lets don't mess with the HAIR

Good Mid January to all....

I have to say I never thought I would see snow actually on the BEACH!!! yes you read correctly. Now, I did not drive over to the beach and take a picture, but I did see this on the news. It was very beautiful. I also have to admit, I am not a snow kinda person and never did I think we would get snow in North Carolina...maybe the west side of the state but seriously.....Well we did and it accumulated to about 4 inches. Needless to say I did not go out and play but the kids and dog did. With that being said here are a few pics of North Carolina Snow! Enjoy

HAPPY 2009 TO EVERYONE

After the events of the morning we all lounged the rest of the day. It was so nice not to rush to get ready and leave. Maddison did go to the movies around 6 but that was it. Now the following day we were up by 6:45am and on the road by 8. We were headed to Williamsburg to spend the weekend at Great Wolf Lodge with Larry and Trudy, Neil Lori and Landon, Steph, and Sara and Tara (Adam's side of our family). We had an absolute blast and I think I can speak for everyone on that. The kids swam for hours then played MagiQuest, they enjoyed the arcade and the cub club. I took advantage and thoroughly enjoyed a massage. Adam spent most of his time riding the slides with what ever child was brave at the time. So Sorry I did not take any pictures of this activity.....actually, I only remembered my camera once so enjoy.. Not only did we play all weekend, we exchanged our gifts with everyone and again I think I can speak for everybody in saying that we all were very pleased!! As we were all heading out on Sunday afternoon Grandpa asked "are we going to do this again next year?" I think he and Adam could have spent a whole week just playing in the indoor waterpark! Thank you Zeilers for making this a fun Christmas!!
