Palmetto Islands County Park

We had a great trip to Palmetto Islands over Labor Day weekend. The boys loved going on a bike ride except for Will falling and skinning his knee! Poor little guy. He's getting so good on his bike. He rode through paths in the woods and over some rough terrain too. The boys also had a great time on the "Big Toy" playground. Dargan was content to swing while Will climbed his heart out.

Dressed up cats?

While we were in Myrtle Beach last weekend we took the boys to see Le Grande Cirque. It was a great fun-filled show complete with acrobats, jugglers, contortionists and great dancers. The best part was seeing the cats and dogs come out dressed in costumes. Will and Dargan thought the dressed up bride and groom being pulled in a carriage by 2 little dogs in tuxes was just about too much! They laughed and laughed! We just had to have some evidence of just how silly those cats looked sitting so still and all dressed up for a wedding so we had to buy this picture as proof.

First Day of School

My boys had their first days of school a few weeks ago. They were both very excited and are already settling in to the new school year. Will is in First Grade with Mrs. Spradlin and Dargan's at Coastal Christian Prep School and has Mrs. Blakeney. The year is off to a good start!

"Honey Bear"

I have found my pet name for little Dargan-"Honey Bear." He's just the sweetest little hunk and he actually does smell like honey! Yes, even when he's dirty!!!He's so sweet I could just eat him up. I thought this picture was so fitting of him and an actual Honey Bear. I think the name agrees with him too.

Dargan rides his bike!

Dargan told us that he wanted to be a big boy and ride his bike the other day. To our shock and amazement, he got up on it and actually rode up and down the street! This came as quite a shock since he would not even attempt to push the pedals on his tricycle-ever. He is officially a Big Kid now and no more tricycle-now it's big boy bike (with training wheels) that is.
