Memorial Camping Trip

We took our camper for our first trip this weekend. We went to Groveland Oaks campground. We had a great time and can't wait to go back for more. Taylor and Bryce are trouble for sure. Taylor was so excited to get some ice cream from the ice cream truck..she even got it twice one day (and Brad says that she doesn't have him wrapped around his little finger)!

It is hard to see because of the campfire smoke, but Blake chose a nice blue ice cream and it stained his face for a while!

More pics of the trouble makers!

Brad relaxing in the shade. And sorry Tim and Rachel that he ate the entire bag of trail mix!!

Tay having some snuggle time with Rachie. It was hard to sneak time in because Jenna is becoming quite the Rachie hog.
Saturday night the campground had pony rides and bounce house toys for the kids!
Jenna and her first pony ride! Jenna even made it through the bounce house.... but she held up the line a little bit. The workers were nice enough to let Tay, Bryce and Jen go together.

Family Fun

Taylor and her buddy Zach had a great time playing together in the ocean! Taylor and her sandcastle. We spent a lot of time out on the ocean! We had beautiful weather!

And we were covered in sand most of the time.
Jenna didn't really like the water. But she still had a great time playing in sand and chasing seagulls!

Brad and I had a date night out (with mom and Jeff), with no kids before he had to leave :( We ate out on the balcony over looking the intercostal.

This picture was on our balcony at the condo. We listened to the waves every night and got to sit outside and sip coffee and watch the sunrise over the ocean. Yeah, my kids were up early enough to watch the sunrise a few mornings!

Here are a few more wedding pics. Me and Bryan. The newlywed. Welcome to the family Donna. Pretty little flower girl, Taylor.
Momma and Jen. Jenna was a little whiny until we got to the reception, then she was terrin it up on the dance floor.

Daddy and Jen.

Congrats Bryan and Donna

My baby brother got married this last weekend in Wilmington, NC. Here are a few shots from the wedding.

Some guy was walking his dog and he (the dog) came over for a few crazy shots with the guys!


The Bridesmaids Bryan and Donna arranged for a trolley to take us from the church to the reception and on the way stopped for a few pictures in downtown Wilmington.

We had a great time at the wedding. What a beautiful location, the food was great and it made a fun family vacation!!

Project Roof

My pictures are a little out of order here, but anyway....
This past weekend we enjoyed the hard work of putting a new roof on our house. We had so many friends and family members that came over to help out. Thank you so much. This would not have gotten done before all this crazy rain today without all the help.

Even the kids helped out.

Here is the first part that was done. (I don't think I even have a picture of the final product yet!) It turned out to be a much larger project than planned. But, we did expect it. We ran into a few areas of rotted plywood and beams, and some areas that we just never built correctly to begin with. I guess, at least we caught this mess now, before we had some major leaking!

Jared, Tim and Brad thinking about their next move. They are looking at a big hole (above) and trying to figure out how to rebuild this area correctly.

What a huge mess. This is only small picture of the mess that we had to clean up. And I hear from others who have roof to expect to find shingles in the yard for years to come!

Papa came to help clean up, after the dump trailer was already full. It was hot and sunny and LOTS of work loading and unloading the trailer! But I got some sun!! Jenna just hung out and enjoyed all the time outdoors!

Easter 2009

The Woolman kids at Granny and Papa's. Crazy mom made them all look into the sun. Taylor getting Easter eggs.

Taylor and Grace opening their Easter buckets! What great presents. Buckets, swim suits, towels, and beach balls. Fun for the sun.

Jenna finding her eggs. It took her a minute, but she did get the hang of it.

Thanks for the wonderful Easter treats Granny!

Easter Eggs or Humpty dumpty

We did Easter eggs with the girls last weekend. And besides making a mess we had to call all the kings men!

Taylor was very proud of her eggs. She would have colored a couple dozen if I would have let her! Jenna started off doing a good job coloring her egg......

Then she started getting a little rough....

Oops, it cracked....

And then we couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again!!

Spring Time

It was such a nice day. The girls and I went for a 3mile walk on the trails at work and then came home to grill out and play outside. Daddy put the girls up in the tree for a picture.
