halloween pics

So for not posting sooner - but here are pics from halloween and one of the thomas train that Grandmom P took taylor and Walter to. Needless to say Halloween was supposed to be a wizard of Oz theme (with Walter revolting and being Darth Vader). I was dorothy, taylor was to be toto (orginally, then he decided to be the lion, and finally it was so hot on halloween he went as superman!) Ali was to be Glenda the good witch and she was till halloween night where she changed to Princess Jasmine and Walter went as the necked cowboy (seriously don't ask)! See group photo! :) All in all - we have a huge selection of costumes that make even madam trousou jealous! :)

Blowing Rock and Grandfather Mtn

Two weekends ago we went to blowing rock last min and took the kids to Tweetsie Railroad and the mile high bridge on Grandfather. We had a ball and here are some of the pics...mom almost didn't make it on the free fall ride..see if you can check out her expression next to Walter....john said everyone in the park could hear me scream!

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!
