Tired

I am always tired. I love to sleep late and I don't get to do that anymore!! The twins have to be at school by 8:00 so I am dragging myself out of bed every morning!! It drives Korey nuts. He pops right out of bed...before the alarm goes off. That is ridiculous!! Callie Margaret is just like me and Max is like Korey!!

We have been busy with soccer, dance, weddings, ECU games and lots of other fun things. Last weekend was the Seafood Festival. The twins rode rides and played games Friday night. October is a busy month for us!! I have 4 weddings this month. We are going to the state fair next weekend. I can't wait for all the delicious stuff to eat and the twins love to ride the rides!!

My dad started his chemo treatments this month. He is doing good so far. Keep him in your prayers. It has been a tough couple of months but he is doing great!!

The twins love school so far....they do not like homework. They are so funny these days. Age 5 is such a cute age. Well, I have a lot to so today so I better go get ready. :)

Parade

Today was the Beaufort 3ooth Anniversary Parade. Pop rode in the parade since at age 100 he is the oldest male Beaufort resident. The twins rode with him and loved throwing out candy. After the parade they had ice cream at the courthouse and then Korey took Max fishing at the camp. It was a great day! Callie and I had "girls time" while the boys went fishing.

Kindergarten!!

Well, the twins have started kindergarten at Beaufort Elementary. They love it. They went last Wednesday for 1/2 a day and today was their first full day! I cannot believe they are old enough to start school!! They are so excited. Here are a few pictures from the first two days.

August..so far

August has been busy! We are getting ready for the twins to start Kindergarten so we have been busy buying school supplies and starting to go to bed early and getting up early so they (and I) will be ready at the end of the month. I cannot believe they are starting "real" school. They have been going to Ann Street since age 2 but Kindergarten at the "big" school is totally different. They are so excited and I am glad they are ready!! However, I just cannot believe it has been 5 years since they were born.

This weekend was pretty relaxing. I helped Aly with a bridal photo shoot yesterday and we had lots of fun. Today we went to church and then relaxed at the house until we went to eat at Korey's parents house.

Next weekend we are going to Raleigh to stay at Caroline's and go to the Jimmy V Cancer Foundation Gala. We are excited!!! Plus Max will love the museum we are taking him to on Saturday morning and I think Callie, Caleb and Reagan will have fun too!

Here are a few recent pics....

I am slack

It has been way too long since I last posted! We have had a busy summer so far. The twins have enjoyed 2 bible schools and have loved swimming in the pool. We had a great 4th of July down at the camp. I have had gall bladder surgery and a horrible ear infection but seem to be feeling a little better now.

July 11th was my cousin Laura's wedding. I was a bridesmaid and I directed the wedding also. It was in Durham, NC at Hope Valley Country Club. She loves swing dancing and the late 30's early 40's so the wedding had that theme and everything was so gorgeous! We had dresses made from a vintage pattern and our hair was done in that style. My nephew Jacob said I looked like one of the nurses from Pearl Harbor! It was a lot of fun and a fabulous wedding and reception!

Last weekend we all went to Greenville to celebrate my nephew Trey's 16th birthday! I cannot believe he is 16. It feels like he was born yesterday...but since I was in 8th grade when he was born I know it was a long time ago!!



Please keep my dad in your prayers. His first surgery went well and in August he will be having his second surgery to remove his kidney.

Well, I must go fix lunch for the twins and Korey. I will attach some pics of this past month!

A month later....

Well it has been almost a month since I posted last!! Time flies! I had my gall bladder surgery July 1st and I am home recovering well. My dad is also home recovering. He is doing pretty good for the serious surgery he had. He will have another surgery in August to remove his right kidney. We have been busy with work, weddings and the twins. They love summer and love to play on their waterslide down at the camp. We had a party their last weekend for the Tee Ball team so I will post a pic of that and some from the summer so far.....

Surgery!

Everything I am doing lately revolves around surgery! My dad had his cancer surgery on June 2nd. He is still in Pitt but doing pretty good. It was a very long and extensive surgery, but it went well. It will be a long recovery. Korey and I are going back to Greenville today and spend the night to visit. Please keep him in your prayers. After he recovers from this surgery he has to have his right kidney removed. My granny also had surgery on the 2nd but luckily is wasn't as bad. She had her gall bladder taken out and is doing great! The last surgery will be mine....yes I too have to have my gall bladder taken out in the next week or so! Hopefully they can do it laproscopically and it will be outpatient. Well, I better go pack for Greenville!
