Time away from mommy and daddy

                                                A new friend my size, but a little older.

                                                We played GREAT together!
                                                We played soo well, it posted twice :)
                                                            Tubed with Aunt Cole

                                                  (I wasn't the biggest fan)
                                    Went to the waterfalls with papa, grandma, and jackson
                                                   and the playground at my future school
            Swimming in the pool Jackson got for his first birthday, it was fun to use the hose

Honey Pot

Mike talked me into camping two out of the four nights of our 2nd honeymoon (to celebrate 5 yrs of marriage, a year late)
                                                            Light house on Hatters Island
Some of the guys at Watkins home told Mike about his restaurant and we didn't believe them, so we documented it for laughs!
                                                          Spending time on the beach
                                                                   Taking the ferry

Mike prayed for our honeymoon during dinner and when I put Aidan to bed and prayed for our beach trip, Aidan said "mom, it is not the beach, dad said it was a honey pot"

Therefore the trip has been nicknamed our honey pot. We got five days to spend in the outer banks, childless, it was well needed and so much fun!!

The finished project....garden beds 
Constructed all by himself, modeled after daddy's


Filling the garden with "stuff" from the compost pile

Aidan loves his dad and wants to be a part of anything he is doing. Jackson, well he just likes to be outside and get into anything he can get his hands on.

Enjoying the Spring

                                                    Our Family at the Arboretum
                                                          A beautiful tree and me

                                                   Taking time to smell the flowers

                                                  this one smells like a peanut butter sandwhich ?!?!
                                              Like father like son

Aidan and Jackson and the sky chair

I took this picture of my brother laughing in the sky chair. If you look close, you can see his two teeth!
What a handsome little brother

Check out how brown our eyes are....we get that from mom
Don't we look ALOT alike
A good view of the chair and us!

Brothers and Friends

This would have been a perfect pic of how much I love to share with my brother and make him apart of everything I do.
I  am sharing my best secrets with Jackson
I just sit and do as I'm told

Asa and I belting some tunes. I love to sing and listen to music
Being boys with power tools

Happy Halloween

My mom and her boys.  Jackson is always looking up to me as his big brother!
The family. 

I was itching to get down and continue with the trick or treating
Jackson hanging out with daddy before the fun filled night. He is an jail break pumpkin disguised as an owl. His bib says "feed me".

Happy Fall

I just wanted to say happy Fall to all my friends and family. More pictures to come when I go trick or treating as a lion!
