I took a trip to Utah all by myself. I got to do a ton of fun things that I had missed the last few years like...the X-mas expo and Gardner Village MIDNIGHT MADNESS. For some reason I thought I could live like a teenager again. I had so much fun staying up until 2 a.m. with one of my BFF Monica and as usual by the end of the night we had ourselves to scared to even get out of the car. I went to a late movie with my sister, brother, and his wife Jen. We also hit one a few hours before I left. I never went to bed before midnight, it was fun. The whole reason I really went to Utah was to see Twilight with my Mom and Sister. Even though I thought Edward was a lame I still had a blast being with my favorite people ever! I did get to spend a little time with Zac's sister's and in the small time I was with them I am sure that Kezia told me I was her favorite Aunt! So in the middle of living like I was 16 again I did get sick and couldn't visit everyone I wanted to. Thanks to my Mom and Sister for taking extra good care of me. See everyone next time. Oh and Jen this songs for you!

Hoedown

Liam had a hoedown at school. They could dress like scarecrows or farmers and then they would sing and dance. I remember all of my programs I did in elementary and how exciting it was for me to have my parents come and watch and now being a parent myself I think it is so much more fun to watch! This is Liam and his teacher Mrs. Tremblay. We are so lucky to have the best Kindergarten teacher at FVES.

HALLOWEEN

It was a lot of fun to carve pumpkins. This year was the first Kat did
everything herself, it took a little off of Zac's load.

Who cares about candy when you have bubbles everywhere.

The Girls!

You better watch out this Vampire looks hungry.

This is everyone after all our Trick-orTreating was done. We had a witch(Nikki), hippie(Kat), vampire(Liam), bat(Zander), zombie(Zac), and a couple of pirates(Abby and Mikayla). We also got a ton of candy that I am sure we will be paying for sooner or later.

Liam

It wasn't hard to get some posers in front of the camera.

This is Liam after his very first Hip Hop performance. He did so awesome! He said that this was one of the best days of his life.
Our friend from the studio took this picture of Liam and we just love it! Liam is so funny, always keeping us laughing. We can't get enough of him.

Crazy Hair Day

Today is crazy hair day at school. I don't think it matters how hard we try to make them look crazy they still look cute. Liam say's that he thinks he looks more cool than cute.

You Are Jasmine!

Independent and adventurous. You don't want much; just to break out of the guilded cage society has put you in and experience life to the fullest. Following orders isn't really one of your strong points, and you would rather live a life of poverty than being forced into something that you hate.

Which Disney Princess Are You?

Kindergarten

Liam is in Kindergarten! He was so excited he couldn't wait to get to school.
He sat down and waved goodbye and that was it.

When he went to testing a few days before school started Liam came out and trying not to smile he said there is a girl who already loves me. I asked him how he knew that and he said she told him. This girl Tailor now calls him honey. We are in trouble with this handsome kid!

First Day of School

I can't believe how fast they get big. Abby is in third grade now and I know this year will be as good as the others!
This is Kat's last year in elementary! She is a big 5th grader, and ready to conquer the Fuquay Rockets.

We decided that we would take a trip to the beach every year before school starts and it's that time of year. We had so much fun playing in the ocean and digging in the sand.
Liam caught a little fish(not even a inch long) and kept it in a bucket. Zander had a 15 min. conversation about it with Liam. Even though Liam couldn't understand a word that Zander said they looked like they were having fun with each other.

Kat is always smiling, we love having her around. I can tell in a few years we are going to have to beat the boys away.

CRABBY ABBY!

We also went to the aquarium at the beach. We got to pet stingrays and other sea life. They also have a tank that is from floor to ceiling, it was great! Liam jumped and was going to run when he turned and saw a shark with a bloody mouth coming at him. That was how he descibed it. It was so funny. Zander would only get near the glass if Zac was holding him and even then he wouldn't touch it. I have to admit it was a little scary at first.

Longmore Visit

My sister came to visit and while she was here we took a hike at Raven Rock. Here we are overlooking the Cape Fear River. We had so much fun. We saw some really cool things such as a walking stick and some very tiny frogs.
We had only one casualty and it was Char. She took a fall and lucky she only had some small scratches and a pulled shoulder muscle. As Zac would say

SHE PULLED A KAJMA!
Thanks for coming, we already miss you!!

Liam is 6

Liam turned six!!! For his B-day we took Liam and his best friend Phillip to Putt Putt fun center. They had so much fun and never stopped. Happy B-day BUD.

Turtles in NC

We see turtles in NC all the time but for some reason whenever Grandma comes to visit the turtles go into hiding. We were driving the other day and saw this guy on the side of the road. I just happened to have the camera in the car so we took a picture. See Grandma they really are here!

I can't believe she did it!!!

She didn't even question herself when she cut 17 inches off of her hair. She looks so cute I just can't stand it. She wants to give her hair to Locks of Love so that someone that needs it can have it.

Williamsburg, Virginia

Awards Day

So I have to say it MY KIDS ARE AWESOME!!

Abby got Student of the year award for her class. We are so proud of her! She is so smart and works so hard. She never forgot her homework and has bcome a excellent reader. Keep up the good work.

Kat got 4

awards but the one that really stands out is the Presidential Fitness award. Only 3 people got it and she was the only girl. They do lots of indurance and strength test during

the year and she totally kicked butt. She couldn't believe that President Bush actually signed her

certificate.

Watch out American Gladiators!

The Last Couple of Months

Abby decided that she would give softball a try. I think she gets a little bored sometimes but she has done really good. She must like it because she wants to do it next season. Her team sits and cheers the entire time they are in the dugout and it is so fun to hear. They really have team spirit!

Liam is doing a little baseball and says he likes the practices more than the games. He really is only thinking about the Hip Hop class he will be taking soon. All he wants to be is a Breakdancer and he already has some great moves.

Yeah, Zander turned 1. I can't believe this year just flew by. He loves Icecream so he got a Icecream cake.
Zander also just got a haircut. It took everything I had to do it because I knew it would make him look a little older, and I am not ready for that.
He really does look cute!

Kat's soccer team took first place in the soccer tournament and boy we were excited!

Kat was also in a singing group for school. We took this picture the day of the performance, and I just can't believe how grown up she is getting.

Zac turned 34 and is still as goodlooking as the day we met. The kids made him a poster and hung it for his party that night so everyone could sign it. It was lots of fun.

So with all this happening I am staying busy trying to keep up with all of them!!

Easter

Zander Just wanted to splash in the coloring, forget about the egg!
Kat is so serious about her eggs.
Peeps are a real favorite in our house.
Liam was so happy to see a rocket in his basket.

Easter is so fun, we love coloring and then finding the eggs. We also love all the candy and toys we get from the Easter bunny.

Basketball

It was tied 6 to 6 in overtime with 9 seconds left. All of the sudden there was Kat open with the ball in her hands. She took the shot and SHE SCORES!!! This is the first win for the comets and they played so good they really deserved it.

CRAWLING

Zander is now crawling!! Our easy days are over, we can't keep him out of anything.
