Driveway

In several years we will build a home out at Pine Hill, but my brother will begin building soon, so a driveway is in the process of being cut. It's really exciting!

High Falls State Park

We had a really nice time at High Falls State Park last weekend. Our site was such that the boys could be independent, play put-put to their hearts content, and we could still see or holler for them. That was great!

Our site.....................................Looking over at the water running off the dam.

The boys refuse to cooperate for a photo anymore. Yes, that's tissue in Sam's nose. Nosebleeds are a regular occurrence these days.

It was cool enough to build a fire at night. Since High Falls is only about 45 minutes from home we had visits from Gmama and Papa, as well as our friends Moye and Jane. It was neat to have campsite company!

We went hiking and Geocacheing. It was so nice to walk through the woods and not be miserably hot.

Boogie Boy

This song is on a kid's CD we have and for some reason it has become a BIG hit in the car! Brice was obviously miffed that HE wasn't be ing videoed so you'll have to ignore his obnoxious hummmm in the background. Sam is quite the show-man, as you can see!

Fun with friends

Unfortunately, my friend Elizabeth was home for her grandfather's funeral this week. On the bright side we got to spend some good time together and get all the boys together to play. For those that don't know, Lindsey, Elizabeth and I are best friends. What's funny (and totally unplanned!) is that even though we all got married years apart from each other we ended up having all our boys with months of each other - both times! So last night was was a lot of five and three-year-old fun!

Lovin' the Bluff

At the end of August we joined the Moxley crew for a weekend trip to Bluffton. A fun time was had by all. Next time.....grown-ups ONLY!

Madhouse!

Last TV season, Brian and I got hooked on a reality show! Yep, hard to believe, but we did. It's called "Madhouse" and was/is on the History Channel. Speed Channel is trying to get it now. Anyway, it follows several racing families that race Open Wheel Modified cars at Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, NC. So, for my birthday Brian planned a trip for us to go to a race and it was AWESOME!! We got to go in the pits, meet the drivers and their families, talk to the track manager, and just soak it all in. And, best of all, it really was just like you see it on TV. I got to meet my FAVorite driver, Burt Myers too! If you're interested in knowing more about the track: http://www.bowmangrayracing.com/.

We stayed at the Brookstown Inn, an old cotton mill. We walked to dinner and had the best fish tacos ever at a neat Latin restaurant called Noma! See our clean plates.

My fabulous husband at a yummy Greek restaurant, Mooney's, also in downtown Winston-Salem.

Burt's #1 car coming off the hauler. Me and Burt!!! He was SO, super nice! His wife and Mama sold me the t-shirt.

Burt's younger brother, Jason, driver of the #4 car.
