Saturday Bike Ride - Muddy Creek Trail

We decided to try one of the other greenways in Winston-Salem called Muddy Creek trail. The first thing E did when we got out of the car was find some mud! It was a very easy and short trail.

Memorial Day - Hanging Rock State Park

The park was soooo crowded for the holiday. We won't go back again on such a crazy day. We were able to find a picnic table, and then we hiked down to the waterfalls. The kids really want to play in the water, so we'll have to come back again soon. It's so good to spend time with Grammy and Papa!

Grammy and Papa are Here!

We are so excited to have Grammy and Papa come to visit! We had a fun morning at the park, and then they brought Maw Maw over and we had dinner. It was a beautiful day!

It's Saturday? Bike Ride Time!

Another Saturday morning bike ride... this time we went to Guilford Courthouse. It was fun because they had some people camping - authentic Revolutionary style.

And we decided to recreate this photo from a while back...

And we had to get Susie in there!

Susie thinks these bike rides are exhausting.

Soccer Practice

A friend decided to get some toddler friends together to have soccer practice. It's crazy and fun. The kids love socializing and playing in the yard!

 Susie loves to play with the cones during practice:

Saturday Bike Ride

We're trying to get out every Saturday morning before it gets really hot. We took another ride on the Salem Lake trail. E's favorite part was seeing the "struction struction" site (construction site).

Imagination

I love watching E's imagination grow. I walked into Susie's room to this scene:

"I'm a cowboy!"

And later that night, we went to the park. He was pretending to be a monster and growling at the other kids. There were some older kids there, and they could have just blown him off or been too cool for him. Instead, they let him chase them and pretended to be scared. It made my night!

Susie - 11 months

Susie is 11 months. She loves exploring her world. She's taking a few steps here and there, and she'll be taking off any day now! Her smile lights up a room, and she is developing quite the stubborn personality.

Here are some pictures I took for her invitation for her party. Like I said...

Smiles all the time

Personality

Stubborn

Mother's Day 2014

I had a great Mother's Day with my family. I am so grateful for my babies and the blessing that they are in my life!

Work and Play Don't Mix

Today was one of those rare days when I tried to get some schoolwork done at home. This little girl had other ideas. Needless to say, I ended up outside with the rest of them.

Weekend Fun

We went on another bike ride on the Salem Lake trail. It was a really nice ride. The trail goes by Bowman Gray racetrack, and they were out practicing. E got to check it out, but thought it was a bit loud! Susie fell asleep on E's shoulder on the way back.

After that, we picked up Maw Maw and hit up the Kernersville Spring Folly so Emmett could ride the train. The fire department had a station set up where kids could spray the "fire" and E loved it. He said he wants to be a fireman.
