We surprised Brandon by having his birthday a month early when all the cousins are here. We had his favorite food, lobster, and ice-cream cake.
The Loot.
The Yummy lobsters we got from our lobsterman friend at a great price! We cooked 30 and they were gone by the end of the meal. The rain actually held off so we could eat outside and the kids used the pool. A great night!

A 5 1/2 lb Bass! This is no fish story!
A place for Me!
This spring my darling husband thought it was about time I had a space just for me and my scrapbook stuff. I am an avid scrapper with lots of scrap stuff. I had this room already, but it was in an unfinished part of the basement. I had fold out tables and my stuff just kind of stacked all over them. It was my own space, but nearly as pretty or functional as this one. I customized my countertop for my height. I like to scrap standing up, so we measured for the perfect fit. I love my drawers, perfect for all my goodies and my wall of cubbies for paper, flowers, books and some of Lucy's stuff. She even has a little desk for her, since she loves to scrapbook too.
Piano Recital?!
8th Grade Celebration
Brittany and her group of friends. They went to eat a nice meal at Ashley's house. The girls got out of school early, spent the day at the salon and then to Ashely's for make-up and finishing touches. The boys? Well, lets say they did not need nearly the time. I asked them how long it took them to get ready and most said about 15 minutes and that is with a shower. I do think the fun of the whole night was the getting ready part and dinner. Thanks to Nancy for such a lovely meal.
Lucy softball
Lucy was pitcher this year for the first time and when she wasn't pitching, she was catcher. She did really well, for not having any instruction for pitching. She managed to pitch us to a win in a playoff game. We were tied and went into extra innings. It was a tough game. Lucy also did well in hitting. She got many hits to help her team score.
Softball
The cutest softball player on the field. That's the important thing right? It was a rough start to the season, but after a few games the team got into their groove and ended up doing pretty well. Brittany greatly improved in hitting and fielding and was able to catch some important fly balls and got a few good hits to help out her team. Not Brittany's favorite sport, but she tried her best and stuck with it to the end.

Virginia Beach!
We drove down to Virginia to attend Melinda's wedding. We came a few days early to get some beach time. It was only May, but the water was way warmer then we are used to, and the sand was nice and hot. We spent the day laying out in the sun, playing in the sand and walking along the boardwalk. We only brought Brandon and Brittany with us and they had fun hanging with their cousins in the evenings and just relaxing.
