We had a nice walk to dinner one afternoon and enjoyed the sunset.

I think I can get this whole thing in my mouth! I JUST LOVE CANDY! This isn't just candy it has fruit, so isn't it good for you!Brotherly sharing-I'll let you try mine if I can try yours!
Don't you just want to kiss those cute little faces all over!!

I have a new favorite place--SAVANNAH, GA! It is a long drive, but very much worth it. Ben had a meeting in Savannah right before the boys got out of school. We had never been before, but we absolutely loved it. We stayed in a hotel downtown and walked to all sort of neat things while Ben was in his meetings. The kids were great and really had a good time. They loved stopping at each square and reading about the statue/historical figure that was there. They were very into the pirate history that surrounds this town. I hope Ben has more meetings there in years to come!!

We checked out one of the candy stores where they make taffy and other treats. SL was in Heaven. As you can tell in the picture he was ready to shop as soon as we entered the store-no time to smile for the camera, there is candy in sight!! Lots of candy!!

The water was beautiful and the boys were amazed by all of the huge boats.
Our Little Pirates! Surrender your gold- or your kisses!
We stopped for a quick rest and read a little history in several of the town squares.
Dinner at Mellow Mushroom. Yummy!

More Pirates!

We checked out an old battery. It was very interesting and told even more history about Savannah. The boys enjoyed this too!
We climbed and we climbed and we climbed some more to the top of the Lighthouse. It was a beautiful view and so very, very high! It was a little frightening with all of the wind. I was amazed that we got to go out and walk around the top area without any glass, just a few rails. I held very tight to both boys. This was something very memorable to do with the boys. They climbed all the way up on there own, thank goodness!

The beach was gorgeous, but different than where they are accustomed to playing. The sun was so bright and the wind was blowing so much. SL just kept asking where the white soft sand was and fussing because the sand hurt when the wind blew it against his legs and face. Needless to say, we did not stay all day on the beach! I cannot believe we carried their sunglasses everywhere we went, but the afternoon we go to the beach we forget them at the hotel! Oh well, we did okay without them !

God's Gifts!
The boys tried so hard to build a sand castle, just like we always do at the beach. They were so persistent, Havey more-so than SL. Look at SL's face he was becoming very frustrated, but he was determined. Frustrating or not, we still had fun trying!

Havey stuck with the castle even though Bro and I stopped for a picnic snack on the beach. The castle results were spectacular, or at least we thought so!

Fun in the sun, but we missed playing with daddy!

We celebrate Benjamin Harris' great year in Kindergarten!

"Thanks Mrs. Max for the cool tractor! It is a great kindergarten graduation gift. You shouldn't have, but I'm glad you did!"

"Thanks for remembering me too! I had a good year in 3 year preschool!"

Daddy likes playing with tractors too! Ben finishes up on the underground sprinklers for the yard. He did a wonderful job!

End of the Year Kindergarten Program

This was just too cute! The kids really enjoyed dressing up and performing and all of the parents and grandparents just loved it! Benjamin Harris was really into the whole 50's look!

Good Friends-Havey and Madison have a great time together!

Okay, so I am way behind on my blogging! We were so busy with all of the end of the school year activities, house stuff, moving-in, and now we are finally settling in to our somewhat normal routine. Well, I say normal, but there is nothing normal about our routine or family!
That's okay though, because that is how we like it!!!
So, in order to get the blog and all of you up-to-date on what is going on with us, I amjust going to put several photos and more one-liners. I will not be as chatty as normal, but hopefully will have time to get back into bloging more often. So lets play catch-up! :)

Ready, Set, Go!


SL and Hudson have fun with water web-blasters and bubbles. They also go on a treasure hunt for gold!

SO SWEET!!

SL gets encouragement from Ms. Missy, his sweet teacher, to sing at their program.

These are all of of the 3 year olds at SL's School! He has had a great year!

Ms. Missy is so sweet and she has been what every mom would want for their little one's first teacher!

Field Day at Havey's School

The kids had FUN at the End-Of-Year Party at Jumpers!

This is Mark The Builder- He has really done a great job on the house and we are very pleased and very ready to move in! These photos are from end of April and things have really changed since then. Boy, I am so far behind on updating our Blog!

The St. Jude Trike-A-Thon at Benjamin Harris' school was a lot of money. The kids raised a lot of money! It was great!

Scooters were allowed, thank goodness, since Havey cannot fit onto a trike any longer!
SL shares his motor-bike with his little buddy Collin!
Ben and I lead the kindergarten classes in a few "tree activities" for Read to Me. They all had fun being a tree and learned it really is okay to cut down trees!
