4 Months Later...

I cannot believe I haven't written since June. It was a busy summer for the Bernauer's! The twins are now in first grade! They love school and are busy with soccer, scouts, dance, riding lessons, etc etc! This also keeps Korey and I busy!

Below are some pics from this past summer.

Family Reunion

Great Wolf Lodge!!

Out in the boat!

We have been enjoying seeing the Pirates play. Max loves the games!

I can't believe it!

My babies have finished Kindergarten! I am depressed because 1st grade sounds so old....but they had a great year. Ms Debbie and Ms Gina were so wonderful!! I will update more soon!

Class Party at the camp.

Long Overdue!!!

I am a bad blogger...however, I am great at facebook!!! That is why this poor blog has been neglected.

We had an AMAZING time in Pittsburgh and Washington DC. It was great to visit with Prudence, Kevin and Blake. We went sledding and sight-seeing and I had so much fun catching up with Prudence!! We are already talking about planning another trip up there in the Fall.

The twins LOVED Washington. We did the Capitol and White House tours and stayed at the L'Enfant Hotel which was within walking distance to everything. We also went to the Smithsonian and National Zoo. Max was in heaven!! He also went to see his favorite....the Lincoln Memorial. Yes, he is 5 year old and loves history. He got that honestly!! Callie enjoyed the White House best but said the Red Room should be called the Pink Room because it looked more pink than red. Only her!!

We have been busy with day to day things....school, dance, church etc. Max is getting ready to start tee ball and Korey will be coaching again. No tee ball for Callie Margaret this year....she said she didn't like the hitting, running or catching. She did like the pink batting helmet and sitting on the bench :) She is now taking riding lessons and LOVES it!! She has loved horses since she was a baby.

Another exciting thing that happened that was shocking....It snowed here and we actually got about 7 inches!!! The kids loved making a snowman and a snow woman!!

Last weekend I went to the Black Eyed Peas concert to celebrate Sheila's (my sister-in-law) birthday. It was awesome. They were great. This weekend we are going back up and go to the circus and stay with Caroline.

Next weekend we are heading up to Hatteras to see Korey's grandparents and relatives. It has been awhile since we have been to visit so we are really looking forward to it!

We redid our living room recently and painted it navy with off white bead board at the bottom. It looks wonderful!! We have a new couch and two new chairs! We still need a rug but that will have to wait!

I am exhausted just writing all that we are up to so I think I will go take a nap!

Christmas, Memphis and New Years!

Christmas was great. The twins got way too much! For New Year's my dad and Karen took Korey and I to the Liberty Bowl where ECU played Arkansas. We lost and it was FREEZING but we had fun. We went to Tunica, Mississippi while we were there and ate at Paula Deen's new buffet. It was AMAZING!! Next week we leave to go visit my friend Prudence and her family in Pittsburgh..we are so excited to get to visit with her and see her house and on the way back we are going through Washington DC and go to the Smithsonian and White House etc. Here are a few pics from the past month.

November & December!

Wow...it has been over a month since my last post. It has been busy around here with Thanksgiving, my birthday, parades, the Nutcracker and Christmas parties!! The twins are very excited about Christmas. They ask everyday if it is tomorrow. Last weekend the twins and I went to Raleigh and saw Disney on Ice and had brunch with Santa with Mama, Caroline, Caleb & Reagan. It was lots of fun and I squeezed in a little shopping too! Here are a few pics from the past month.

Myrtle Beach

Korey and I went to Myrtle Beach this past weekend with my mom and friends Eleanor & Alex and their son Jud and his wife Michelle. We stayed at Litchfield Beach & Gold Resort. It was really nice. The girls went shopping and the boys played a lot of golf. It was lots of fun. We ate at Tripp's at Broadway at the Beach Saturday night and it was delicious!!! Prime Rib and Ice Cream Pie....I was in heaven!!



The twins were also in Myrtle Beach but they were with my Dad & Karen and we never even saw them. They were very busy.....Swimming at the indoor pool at the hotel, going to the Ripley's Aquarium, Build-a-Bear Workshop (where she made a pink unicorn with high heels and a sequin vest and he made a turkey dressed as a policeman), Dixie Stampede, Alligator Adventure and they even did a little shopping!! They had a fun-filled weekend and came home with way too many toys!!!

This week is a busy one like normal....however, soccer is over for the season so that is one less thing we have to do! Max got a trophy for playing this year. He had a great time and even scored a goal at his last game. Callie Margaret is busy with dance and will be preforming in the Nutcracker in December.

Halloween

I am too tired for a long post but I wanted to post the twins Halloween costume pictures. Callie Margaret was a bride and Max was a toucan. They had so much fun trick or treating!!
