4th of July Celebration

Here are the pictures from the 4th of July at our family house in Bluffton! We had a great time in the river and on the boat. Our family dinner at Karen and Sandy's house was GREAT! Somehow I am not in a single picture. I was there just not photographed-Thankfully!

Weight Issues!!!

Okay here goes. I am having some serious issues. I have gained weight and I am having a hard time getting it off. I know I am older and it is harder but gee whiz!!! I have got to get it off. I used to be so tiny and then gained weight and I have been yo-yo dieting since. Any suggestions from all you skinny girls who have had babies too? I will take any advice I can get.
Thanks!

Sweet Olivia!

I had to post this picture of my precious niece. She is so sweet and I enjoyed putting her to sleep and just being able to hold and love on her. I can't wait to see her this weekend!

Tomatoes, Wonderful Tomatoes!!!

Okay, the whole tomato thing is a pain now. I am so tired of hearing about it and now that the FDA has probably made a huge mistake(The problem came from Salsa and not raw tomoatoes) Everyone knows you buy local and eat local-we are so very lucky to have Seaside Farms just down the road. I grew up on a farm and I never bought store tomatoes. We just didn't eat them when they weren't in season or they were not local.

Here are some of the pictures of the tomatoes we got this year and they were fabulous!

This big boy weighed a pound.

It was great on my sandwich!

Fun at the Beach

We went camping last week at Hunting Island. This has become a yearly tradition for us. We always go with my parents. They have a huge 5th wheel camper so we mostly hang out with them instead of the tiny pop-up we bring. It really is fun and usually relaxing, except for a few days this year. Duncan and Grace love each other so much I know, but the sibling rivalry is out of control right now in our home!!! All they do is fight and fuss with each other. So, being stuck out in the woods where I couldn't discipline as I would have liked-everyone can hear everything was not much fun this time. Hopefully this stage will pass soon.

Here are some of the photos from our week. One great thing was the weather was perfect!
