Puddywood

Time for our annual camping trip at Christy and Larry's, a.k.a. Puddywood. Of course we had a great time. Taylor and Zoe couldn't get enough of the 4 wheelers. Taylor actually drove it by herself (thanks tyler!) My cousin Scott will be contributing to the Burger Clan in july with a new baby girl so we had a shower for him. We were hoping for a surprise but it is hard to keep it quiet and he found out. But, let me say it is so funny giving a guy a baby shower. They are so different than girls. He was a trooper though and got lots of good stuff to help out in his adventure of fatherhood. The top pic is all the younger cousins.

Kacey and Andy

My cousin Kacey got married in Nags Head. What a beautiful week. The wedding day was wonderful. Thanks for a great time!!

Zoe hat parade

This is the hat parade at zoe's school. They sang a little song and walked around. she has one year left at dppk then off to dutrow.

Daisy Duke

Daisy turned 9 years old this may 1st. She is hanging in there and healthy for the most part. What a wonderful girl.

Blueberry Gap Farm

it was a beautiful day out so we went to BBGF for the day. the girls had a great time. it was packed with tons of kids. They got to feed the horses and deer. I through in that peacock pic because he is so pretty

Rockets

Taylor is taking soccer this spring. Actually, since i am so slow at updating my blog, the season is almost over. She is doing good for her first time. She got hit in the face a few games ago and now is very timmid. I hope she overcomes this soon.

Snapping Turtles

Last year we saw a large snapping turtle in our front yard flower bed laying eggs.
Today Zoe and Jason saw a hole and something moving in it. These turtles came out.
This Zoe holding one of the baby turtles. She was so excited.
We kept watching the hole and eventually all the turtles came out. The finally count was 12. Who knew that many could fit in such a small hole.
This is Jason and Zoe taking the turtles down to the lake and setting them free.

Easter Day

Getting ready to leave for church.

Taylor looking for eggs at there Grandma's annual easter egg hunt. About 2 hours after this she said her head and throat hurt and had a fever. Jason took her to the doc in the box and guess what.... Strep throat. Man, this girl has had it all this last month. Poor thing.
Zoe checking out what she got at her nanny and gookies. Mariposa! She was so excited.

Egg Dyeing

Thursday we decorated eggs at mom's. I had to work this weekend so this night worked best. The girls had a good time and the eggs were pretty.


Rileigh slept during most of the dying time but she came in at the end for a picture with her egg.
Dustin got a little thirsty so he had to drink the dye. YUMMO

Happy Birthday Danielle

We had a surprise party for Danielle's 30th bday last friday. I think it turned out nice. She had no idea. But considering it was a month late how could she have known. hehe

Pillowcase Dress

Finally I made my first pillowcase dress. I have been wanting to make one for a while. I think this turned out ok for my first one. I only took me 2.5 hours.

New Soccer Player

Here is Taylor in her soccer uniform. She will be playing for
the Rockets. She is very excited. Love those pink shingaurds!

SICKNESS

Sorry no pictures lately. Taylor and Jason have been sick all week. So far Zoe and I are avoiding whatever is going around. Hopefully we will not get whatever they have.

Guitar Hero

This is Taylor's latest obsession is the game guitar hero. She is doing very well and is now trying to beat Lou (that is what this picture is). She will then move on to the medium level. Her nanny is not to far behind!! ha ha!!

DAISY DUKE

Here is Zoe and Daisy today laying in Daisy's bed. She will be 9yrs old this year and spends alot of her time in this bed. She is such a good dog. I just thought it was cute, them laying here together.

Mom's Retirement

Here are some gloves someone gave to mom. Zoe enjoyed playing with them

Mom's Retirement

Mom retired from Dutrow Elementary this winter. It was her 17th year. Here are some phots from the retirement party at the school. It was a nice afternoon.

Snowman

This is Zoe's first snow ever and she is 4yrs old. Isn't that sad? Luckily we got enough snow to make a snowman. Isn't he terrific ;) Thanks to Nanny for the snowman decorating kit. It was fabulous.

First Snow

Taylor and Zoe woke up this morning at 640 to go and play in the snow.... Taylor said the first thing she wanted to do was make a snow angel. This is her doing it. What is Zoe doing in the background...... EATING!! They had a great time and were done by 1000am. Oh, the snow was already almost gone.

Christmas

Here they are chrismas morning. Taylor did her own hair (love those pig tails!) We got an early start that day, Zoe was up at 607 am. Oh yeah, did i tell you that i worked that night and didn't get home until 430am. so that means i got about an hour of sleep. Yippee. I did good until about 8pm that night and then i passed out. Great christmas as usual. The girls were very happy.
