Sorry- again!

So this working and mommy thing is harder than I originally thought...I apologize for the lack of updates. I have been meaning to do some for a while now, then I run out of time...I promise to try harder!! I tried to post pictures but for some reason Blogger is not letting me- I'll try again soon- Nohie is such a big boy now. I guess it gives you all a reason to come and check back :). We love ya'll and thank ya'll for keeping an eye on us!

Beach Bums!

We headed to the beach late Thursday night. Justin had an awards ceremony to attend (and speak at- to which he did an AMAZING job, I must add). We got to Myrtle at 2AM. It was tough...but we had three whole days of beach that way. We stayed at the Sea Mist Resort with our good friends: Jacob, Jennifer their baby Katherin- and Shane, Tera and Haden. It was a lot of fun!! Since we were the late arrivers the good rooms were already taken- so the three of us piled into a small room with a double bed. That proved to be challenging- going from our normal King size to a double. Poor long legged Justin had to sleep in the fetal position to keep his legs on the bed- which really did not leave much room for Noah or me...the first night was terrible. Friday and Saturday night, Justin opted to sleep in the living room. It was sad to be on vacation and not even be able to sleep with my husband...but we managed :). The days were much better than the nights! We had a blast! The hardest part was chosing between the many pools they have to the beach to the water park (all part of the resort). I think we did a good job of splitting it up :). We had a great time! We're already planning another trip back!

Saturday morning I got the news that my grandfather passed away. His viewing was Wednesday night and his funeral was Thursday. It was nice to see so many family friends that I had not seen in a long long time. It was a beautiful day and I know that grandpa is in a better place. I was blessed to be able to know him and even more blessed that Noah was able to meet his Great-grandpa!

We love and will miss you Grandpa!

First Camping Trip

We are big out dorsey people :)- and we hope to raise Noah to be the same! We took him camping for the first time and had a blast! Justin went to Willie and Jess's house to get the boat- man, after the winter the boat was a mess! So much mildew!! That is another story- check out the picture and just imagine the rest.... But after $50ish dollars and a pressure washer (thanks Chad!) we got it to where we could sit and not turn green.... So, we took the pop-up and the boat out to Kerr for the weekend. I had to work my last "official" weekend at the vet so I was driving back and forth- but we had a great time! Noah did so well with both the camping and the boating. He didn't like his life jacket so much but did well with it. Enjoy the pictures :)!

Happy Birthday Haden!

After my graduation we heading to JC for Haden's first b-day!! It was a lot of fun. I cannot belive how big the boys are getting! They are too cute together. They took turns pushing eachother in Haden's car. It was adorable! Of course we got there late due to the graduation ceremony, but we able to see the birthday boy before he had to take a nap...then Justin and Shane went fishing....Dads! It was a good time none-the-lesss!

It's official! I'm a master's graduate!!
