Family time with the Marshalls at the Shore!

We had a wonderful week (Aug 1-9) with Amanda and family. Jackie our sitter came with us and Brooke Marshall joined us as well....we took over 400 pics...here are just a handful of the great ones! All the kids had a ball!

Olympic Tri

Mom finished 3rd overall on Aug 1 in her first ever Olympic distance Triathlon in Little Washington. 1500m swim, 28 mile bike and 10k run....who knew milestones like this could be reached in addition to popping out 3 babies via c-section!

We had a great July 4th weekend with the Blackwells and Burns girlfriend Laura. Here are some pics of the family!

I'm not going to the 4th of july parade! So i'm gonna pout!

Camp Jellybean!

Mom "Aka" Jellybean or Grandmom "P" had her own camp for Amanda's kids this week. No camp is complete with out Logo T-shirts and your very own teepee! Camp lasted from Monday to Thursday in Chapel Hill and everyday had planned activities and themed outings. Here are some pics. Too cute!

Ali's Birthday Party

Ali had a wonderful 5th bday party. She had 4 of her best friends come over for a wonderful afternoon playdate. We went to the trolly stop for hot dogs, swam in our "pool", went to masonboro beach, swam on our dock, back to our pool and had memories to boot! Needless to say we all had a ball..with matching swimsuits (party favors) of course!
