Beach/Play/Bed Time

I just never get enough of the beach!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARL

We had a birthday party/going away party for Carl on Saturday night. Everyone had a fun, the time always go by so fast you never feel like you get to visit with anyone. Okay can we have the welcome home party now!!!!!!

Caitlin takes the biggest bites!

Nate helped make and decorate the cake and then stuck his finger in the icing every time he walked by! Just like his papa

Aquarium with Granny and Carlie

Granny and Carlie met us at the aquarium this morning. The kids had a blast, they didn't seem to notice that every other child in the state was there. It was a rainy day today so it was a great way to spend the day. Tomorrow we will hit the beach. We are counting down the days, we will be so sad when Daddy leaves!

Vacation Vacation Vacation WITH NO KIDS!!!!!!!!

WOW ! Dad Poe took us on a four day cruise up the Chesapeake Bay. It was amazing we had so much fun. The weather was perfect, I got to sleep all day in the sun, eat dinner in peace and even have tea and dessert. Days were spent sailing and then sitting by the pool sipping cold drinks! It was AWESOME! I can't thank Mom and Dad Poe enough. Even Shelly helped watch the kids one morning while Mom Poe was at work! THANKS everyone ( Mom, Dad, Shelly, Mrs. Nelson)!




Clear blue skies

Dinner out every night!!! YUMMY

Our old House/Grannie's House

BEFORE!!!!!

Many of you have been asking to see the Old house or Granny's new house. Just in case you don't know- when we built our new house we gave our old house to Granny. It is now her new house with a new paint job and even a new room between the kitchen and garage. It looks awesome she and Mike have done a great job!

AFTER!

Sam's Birthday

Nate's friend Sam had a birthday a few weeks ago. As you can see from the pictures Nathan had a blast and even got a superman costume to wear home!

New Dock

The dock is done, Carl built half but then we had to hire help to finish because Carl would actually have to be here to finish. Now can someone please come watch my kids so I can go fishing and take the boat to the beach. There is a small barrier island just minutes from our dock The ocean is clear blue out there. Now if only I had a babysitter or a husband or both!

Nate runs on the beach

If you look really hard you can see the boat, center of the picture, if you look harder you can see Carl waving at us!

Footprints in the sand ! I LOVE THEM

Hello,

Just some pictures of our summer fun. We have lots of family days at the beach. The kids and I go to the beach and play while we watch daddies boat do circles around Onslow Bay. It is almost like we are together.

A day at the farm

Nate searching for farm animals in the hay.

Caitlin loved the trailmix!

Nate wondering why its not going faster!

Took Nate and Caitlin to the horse farm yesterday. They had lots of games for the kids to play and Nate even got to ride a horse. I asked him if he liked it and he said " I don't know". I didn't want to say anything but that is what I think about horses. Nate loved the tractor, he would have rather had a tractor ride. Boy Boy Boy! Caitlin loved the cowboy boot filled with trailmix!

We miss you Dad!

I took the kids to watch dad leave , Nate is starting to understand that when Carl leaves he is going to work and yesterday asked what daddy does on the boat. I am not sure I was really able to answer the question. What does daddy do on that boat?
Caitlin takes it really hard she wakes in the night screaming Daddy Daddy. She loves and misses her dad lots!

We took a quick trip to Maryland to visit Uncle Jeff but I guess I didn't take a single picture of the guy. Oh well, we had fun the weather sucked cloudy and rainy and not much wind but the beer was ice cold.
