Daffodil Farm 2010

This year we found a Daffodil Farm in Beaufort at Cruden Farms. It was closer that driving in to Bluffton to where we went to last years Daffodil Farm. The kids loved it! It was a little breezy chilly and a grey day but a beautiful day anyway. With kids this adorable it couldn't be anything other than a great day. Ian looks like a Gap model in these photos with his squinty eyes and Emma with her hair blowing in the wind. Mmm, couldn't you just eat them up? Beautiful babies!

Habersham Trail Ride

Now that it has finally started to warm up and the massive 1-2 inches of snow melted (minutes later), we have been able to take a couple trail rides through the beautiful landscape of Habersham. You can see how picturesque it is through here and then throw in a couple adorable kids and what do you get...take a look and see.

Blizzard of 2010!

(click picture for web gallery)

It was mass chaos in SC as the winter storm (Blizzard of 2010) rapidly approached. Before the first snowflake fell, the grocery stores were flooded with panic. Rioting and looting occurred to gather up all the canned goods and bottled water, just in case the mere couple inches we were supposed to get froze door hinges or prevented the doors from opening. Cars were parked in the garages and keys hung on their respective hooks as no one dare drive with a single snowflake on the streets to prevent the cars from spinning violently out of control off the roads.

Given that news flash, the kids had a great time playing in their first snow. They went running through it, made snowballs and even helped neighboring children build snowmen. It did turn into a double edge sword however as the kids played without gloves the first time (no thanks to mommy and daddy), their hands got cold and they began to cry. We told them to lets go inside and warm up our hands and come back out and that made them cry even more because they didn't want to go inside, rather play in the snow. It was a fun filled day and pictures to boot. Even the oxymoron picture of the palm tree with snow.

You Gotta Love Toddlers!

Here's just a quick post of some of the funny statements conveyed to the toddlers recently:

"Don't eat your shoe, shoes are for wearing"

"Don't wipe your cheese on the counter, cheese is for eating not cleaning. I know you're trying to help, but it is actually making a bigger mess!"

"No the Wiggles cannot hold you, they are on TV!"

"Do you want chicken pot pie for lunch? Yes Snow White made it!"

"No Ian you may not jump off the train table like Grave Digger (the monster truck)"

Merry Mimmas Everyone!

Ah yes, Mimmas time again. The kids are having a grand time this year and are very much involved and loving every minute of it. The mall of Savannah had a Mimmas Choo Choo that we had to ride, which of course we had to ride a couple times. We then went to go pick out the Mimmas Tree and the kids loved decorating and directing where each and every ornament needed to be for sheer perfection. Later that night was time to make the Mimmas Cookies. Ian and Emma love to stand in the "help mommy" to help make anything. This time it was to make the Mimmas Cookies. Emma's decorating hand got a little heavy with the red sprinkles, thus leaving little to be found of the cookie after she was done. As usual click on each picture to be redirected to the web gallery of each album. Merry Mimmas everyone!

1st Official Golf Outing...FORE!

We had our first official golf outing and had a great time. The kids love to run on the "Big up" (mounds around the green) and sit in the cart and watch daddy's "Big Hit". They had such a good time they keep saying "golf with daddy?" They made great caddies and there were even a couple funny moments when daddy was over the putt getting ready to hit when someone decided to walk over and grab the golf ball from in front of me and walk away, classic! That would have been great for a funniest home video moment.

Happy Halloween from South Carolina!

Happy Halloween to everyone from SC. We hope everyone has a fun, safe Halloween and gets lots of cavities. Stay tuned for pictures of the Halloween costumes, who was okay wearing them and who wasn't having it. Only one guess as to who threw a fit in her costume...oops, I just gave it away!
