We hosted a BBQ on August 16th. It was a good time. Good food, slip and slides, fireworks and friends. What more could you ask for?

More pictures after the break and you can view all of the pictures here.

PS. Coronitas sneak up on you.

Pool… gone.

We sold our pool through craigslist on May 16 to a nice couple from the Eastern Shore. They did most of the work. I felt bad, but I had to watch the kids since Megan was at the beach for the weekend.

I have no regret getting rid of it. Sure, it was fun, but it was 30′ and took up almost my whole back yard. We’re thinking about planing a garden this year instead of grass.

I fought off the kids running through the puddles from the pumped off water from the pool as long as I could. The begging won out this time. Plus it kept them busy for about a hour and I got some good pictures.

This took the good part of 2 whole days. The last about 1.5 – 2 inches of water we dumped into the yard. Needless to say, there was a flood in the back yard.

Lots of jumping and splashing.

Big splash, funny face.

This is one of those pictures that will embarrass Elliot when he’s a teenager. We have lots of those kind of photos.

Our anniversary

Scott — Thu, 29 May 2008 03:56:51 +0000

Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted so I have some catching up to do.

We celebrated our 9th anniversary on May 1, 2008. We celebrated by having a picnic with the kids on the beach at East Beach in Norfolk. Some PB Sandwiches, some chocolate chip cookies, some chips. Good times. Hard to believe it has been 9 years. Love you, Megan!

Mom & Gracie. Please note, Gracie has a chocolate chip cookie in every picture.

Why do I have such a weird smile?

Hmmm… need to work on that “smile.”

Easter

Thought it was a good time to revisit easter with some photos I uploaded to flickr.

Wonder if the Easter Bunny can pay our dental bills?

Elliot’s famous “CHEESE!” with smurf-blue teeth.

Gracie was serious about her Chocolate bunny.

We visited Nannie’s and Poppies. Chole (and Uncle George & Aunt Shelly) was there!

The kids had a great time finding easter eggs at Nannie’s and Poppies.

And of course, a trip to Nannie and Poppie’s wouldn’t be complete without bouncing on the trampoline.
