It may not be snowing...

...but it's still cooollldddd! Cooper and Carson are the answer to our sustainable energy problem. They have the energy to power all of Greenville - with enough left over for the out lying areas as well.


So Much For Global Warming!!!

Two weeks ago, we got quite the snow storm -the first in Eastern Carolina in at least 4 years. Carson and Cooper just couldn't stand being inside any longer - so they braved the freezing temps to jump on the trampoline.


Riley On To Regionals

Riley made it out of Counties and on to Regionals in the max number of events - the 500 Freestyle, 100 Fly, 200 Medley Relay and the 400 Freestyle Relay. He set PRs in his individual events.

We couldn't be more proud of him!

Weird Science



Clay advanced to the next round of the Science Fair by finishing in the Top 3 at Christ Covenant. He will present his exhibit at East Carolina University late in February.

Clay's project used a Watt meter to determine which items in our house used the most energy and to find out what would save us the most in energy costs.

HIs findings? Compact Flourescent Light (CFL) bulbs could save us up to $90 a month. Now if we can just find the $500 to buy them all!

Sniper!!!

I don't normally post other videos here, but having been in soccer most of my life and sat on the sidelines yelling "Sniper!!!" every time somebody faked a foul, this was way too funny not to share.

Home for the Holidays

We took these pictures just before Cody left to go back to Florida for college. We all had such a great time with Cody in North Carolina, the time just flew by.

Molly Finds a New Home




We finally got Molly on Wednesday. Molly is an English Coonhound that we adopted. Molly is sweet, quiet and gentle. We are so excited to have her in our home. We also got the fence installed on Monday - this is our new backyard.

Up Close and Personal

It doesn't get any better than third row seats for a hockey game. Courtesy of ABB (I love this place!), Cody, Riley, Clay and I went to see the Carolina Hurricanes take on the St. Louis Blues. We were close enough to see them sweat - and who had broken their nose. The Hurricanes won 2-1.

That's me to the right in the picture - the boys sat to my left. We couldn't find of the boys :-(
