Grandchildren

Here is a picture of Dave's mom with all of her Granddaughters.


And then Dave's Mom with 3 of the Grandson's (one couldn't make it.) Of course, the boys had to climb the tree and Alex was so excited to join them too. Alex had a lot of fun with Jamison and Carson.

All of Us

OUR FAMILY
Marissa, Dave, Aubrey, Jamison, Neala Alex, and Jessica

Dave's Family

When we were in North Carolina, we had a family picture taken of Dave's Family with his brother, Chuck, and his family...and his sister Wanda and her family. Also, of course, Dave's Mom is in the picture too.

Hmmmm.....

Ok, I admit that having bikes is great...but sometimes they fight over them and have to sit out for a minute. Alex was not very happy to sit out. Look at that lip. (I see Aunt Kendra in the second picture.)

Riding our bikes

One of the benefits of a driveway! Yippee!

Alex and the Beach

Alex really liked walking around the beach and chasing the birds.

Trip to Virginia Beach

The weekend after Labor Day, we took a trip to Virginia Beach. We had a great time on the beach. The weather was perfect. Alex really enjoyed walking along the shoreline with Dave and Aubrey enjoyed playing in the sand....building sandcastles and then tearing them down. We can't wait to again next year.

This is our current life....painting

This is what our new house is starting to look like as we try to figure out what colors to paint. Our dining room walls were painted dark blue. However, that had to go and we started the task of trying to figure out what color to go with. Here we started with samples of a burnt red/orange....then went to samples of a beige/light brown....



and finally ended with a sage green. I wish I could get a picture of the whole room, but this is the best I have.

We are looking forward to having people over to eat in our dining room. But before we have people over, we have a few more rooms to go.

Cleaning Windows

Cleaning Windows Together....if only they could be convinced to do it this easily in 10 years.

Sharing

Occasionally, there are moments when they share and play together. These are the moments I like.

Spray Park

We went to a local spray park a couple weeks ago with Marissa. I think everyone had fun. Here is Marissa and Aubrey. Aubrey was a little timid, but Alex had a blast.
