Boys will be boys!

Brandon and Wes are definitely taking advantage of the long summer days playing in the dirt! It reminds me of my "mud pie making" days :). Brandon often still insists on wearing his super hero costume through out the 90 degree weather! The neighbors caught a shark on their new boat, and thought Brandon (as superman) conquering the shark would make a cute picture :). Our little Wes is getting smarter and more independent by the day! Just yesterday I asked him to go get his shoes; sure enough he turned around and picked up his shoes. Then I said we are going outside, so he walked to the door and started to turn the door knob. His new favorite word is "hello," and he actually knows to say it when he has a phone to his ear!
Well, we are busy preparing for the Tennessee trip on the 8th; we are having a joint birthday party for Brandon (5) and Bamma (50) in a beautiful mountain cabin!! We are also very excited to see everyone in Kentucky at the end of the month. After all of our fun vacation destinations it's time for us to get down to business! We are leaving Beaufort, to make the trip across country, on August 25th. We get to stop and see Gigi in Pa, and a friend of mine in Texas :). I am so anxious about the thought of Wes being strapped in his car seat for 8-10 hrs. a day, and also very sceptical! We will eventually arrive in California, but our goal is to get there on the 30th of August.
Other than that, we are all doing well; trying to enjoy the beautiful beaches before we reside in the desert! A friend of mine is a photographer, and she is going to actually take pictures of the family on Hunington Island-- I'm so excited to see how they turn out! I am also proud to say that I aced my first online class, and I am heading full speed ahead :). We can't wait to see everyone, and we wish you all a very happy (safe) 4th of July!!
