We spent the last two days doing some special things. There are two videos linked below.

Beach Trip 2009 - Day 1

After driving through alot of rain and surviving close quarters in the packed car with the Moon crew we were happy to grab ALL the gear and hit the sand. There is something special about seeing the excitement and wonder that kids have over everything found at the beach. I hope you enjoy a sneak peek of our first day here.

Fourteen Wonderful Years

Hi, its Brian. I am hijacking the blog today to tell you that it is our 14th wedding anniversary. Sometimes it seems like yesterday and sometimes I can't remember life any other way. There have been good times and bad. But, there has never been any question about where I wanted to be for the rest of my life.


This picture is pretty typical of us. She looks beautiful and I look goofy. Of course, I would not want it the other way around. We have come a long way in 14 years. Well, almost 16 years total now. We were engaged almost 15 years ago.


This may be my last anniversary after showing y'all that photo. That was the night I offically proposed. If you get out your magnifying glass and then look real hard you can see the modest ring I was able to buy her. I promised her the Moon that night and while I have not roped it in yet, we have brought six little Moons into the world together.

Learning new tricks

Whether it be good or bad one thing about having a little brother is teaching him things. Parker was proud to teach Hudson to stick out his tongue for my camera. Little Punks! Swimming season has begun the kids are in heaven.

Exhibit 1

Please allow me to introduce you to Exhibit 1. A pile of size 13 mens shoes in my living room. This picture was taken May 26th as the owner of the shoes was away in Huntsville working. These shoes were not placed here by anyone other than the owner. The fingerprints would confirm that statement to be true. This dear jury is my proof that I live in a world of Me vs The Rest of the House. In my closing statement I want to say. That even though the evidence is stacked pretty heavy against the perpetrator please take mercy on him. I am SURE he had all the intentions in the world to put the shoes away but it just slipped his mind once again. Thank you for your time.

The sandals were in front of my chair this morning. I moved them out of the middle of the floor before I left town. =) - Brian

Preschool Program

After his program infront of his school.

Collin has his end of the year program this past week. He was so excited and was proud that we were all there to see him sing on the "big stage". He has learned the Pledge of Allegiance this year and several songs. He really loves his school and will greatly miss it during the summer. I feel so blessed that Collin loves going to school, he is often so excited to be there he doesn't even tell me bye he just heads right to class. The teachers and administration show Collin such care and love that I know we have found the perfect fit for our family.

Schools Out!

I have been covered up in wrapping up the school year and as of Monday my kids were out for summer. The rest of the week was spent trying to find some sort of balance again. It will take us a few weeks to get a routine down. I have to stay on the kids about picking up after themselves and doing their chores. With everyone home trash,dishes and laundry seem to multiply. I need to come up with ways we can be away from home most of the day!

I will be doing some updates on recent events once I take the pictures off the camera. Stay tuned this week.
