A bath in the kitchen sink

Once upon a time there was a little boy who's dad put a pen in his jeans pocket. The pen traveled through the washer and into the dryer leaving ink all over the clothes! So his mom had to soak all the clothes in the only bathtub in the house for almost a week and he couldn't take a bath. His mommy put him in the kitchen sink and had so much fun playing and taking pictures of him!! The End

Hayden loves the water and I can't wait until next year when he can take swimming lessons...the boy has no fear.

Playdough Fun

He loves the playdough kit Grandpa and Grandma Martin gave him.

July 4th in New Bern

New Bern is celebrating it's 300th anniversary this year, since it was founded in 1710. This past weekend featured various festivities downtown. Last night, July 4, there was a small airshow and fireworks at Union Point Park. The park is located where the Neuse River and Trent River merge. Denise, Hayden and I had a good time hanging out with some friends from church, and I thought I would post some video from the night. There were at least several thousand people there, as well as a few hundred boats in the water. As a side note, towards the end of the video, you can see the new drawbridge that opened a few months ago after being under construction for about three years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqzyqjOcY8w

Chris and Jeanine, good friends of Ryan and I, recently got baptized! It was a first time commitment for Jeanine and Chris found out that he was never baptized only dedicated as a baby so what better time to get baptized then when his wife does! It was an awesome day! The pics are a little dark, I apologize.

6 years in love

May 22 was our 6th wedding anniversary! Ryan borrowed a 2004 black, convertible Corvette from guy that he does some odd jobs for. We had a blast! He gave beautiful flowers that smelled amazing, went to dinner in Jacksonville, then we cruised to the beach to drink coffee and walk in the moonlight. Yeah, it was awesome and I love that he continues to steal my heart 6 years later! We have a few pics from the night.
