Memorial weekend Campout

A long weekend off is a rare occurrence so we snagged the opportunity and headed down to Myrtle Beach for a family camping trip with the Arne's.

We may be camping on a gorgeous beach, but Jamis preferred to play in the dirt around our tent.

We stayed at Lake Resort Campground, which was more like a "bring your own bed" luxury resort. We had clean bathrooms (with hot showers), 2 pools, 2 watersides (one was 4 stories high), canoes and paddle boats, pizza delivery, putt putt golf, playgrounds, wifi, phone hook ups, and bike rentals. It was a far cry from our camping days prekids. We kept it real though and were the only ones in an actual tent. While we spent the evening by the campfire, our neighbors were in their air conditioned mobile watching cable TV. Can't stray from our roots too far (or maybe its because I know once I have a taste of RV camping, I'll never look back).

No pictures please
OK, fine. Cheese.

A little snuggle time with mom. This kid is SOOO skinny that he can only last so long in the pool before he runs to you saying "I freezing" Keep in mind it is in the 90's here.

So serious

Warm me up momma

Early AM breakfast for the wee one. See what I mean. The ONLY tent

Getting this kid to settle down enough to go to sleep at night , let alone a nap, was a job worthy of a medal. He didn't want to miss out on anything. He finally would crash and burn though.

We had a great Memorial Day weekend and we were so glad the Arne's were able to join us. Gearing up for move makes weekends like this all the sweeter.

"look at me mom. I got my self all ready to go"

Oh, my boys, my boys

After sunday naps today we went for a walk and as we were going I looked down and Jamis and thought "what the heck is wrong with your pants." Well in the craziness it is to get the boys outside, Devan put Jax's pants (size 6 months) on Jamis without realizing it. The sad thing is that besides the length the pants fit him better than his own pants did.

love the shoes on the wrong feet. He has started the phase of "I do it Mommy"

Oh, my boys. My boys.

Ward Goodbye Party

Our move is getting closer and closer. To send us off in style our Ward family had a beach get-to-gether at the beach to say goodbye to us and Chad & Natile Burton (Internal Medicine residents who are also graduating).

Jax says goodbye to Megan Morrill who is 9 days older than him.

We are going to miss the beach and our Wilmington Family. Thanks for the great send off.

Fixin' the Car

Jamis is all about his Daddy. Anything Devan does, Jamis is right there wanting to be apart of it.

A job isn't done until you have the dirt to prove it.
