visit at Granny's  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

After we left Raleigh that Monday morning of our week away from home, we went to Granny's in Lucama. This is my dad's mom. She let us take over her house (that's how we do things...) and relax for a day. We spent the night there. It was a great time for the kids to get to know the house that my dad grew up in and get to know Granny and Papa Gene better.
 Of course, she cooked a five star meal that night for us!
 Hank certainly enjoyed it :)
 Aunt Stella stopped by for a little while that evening to get some hugs.

 They watched the chickens for a while that afternoon.
 I tried to get them out of the house for a good chunk of time that afternoon, so we did scavenger hunts in the yard and then I sat down on the porch swing and let them play with the water jugs in her fountain. They just filled them up and poured the water right back into the base of the fountain...don't you know that's awesome entertainment?!

playing doctor  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

 We stopped by Grandma's house in Raleigh on our way to the beach at the end of June. Vivian and Kate took care of the squirrel (statue) on her back porch with their doctor supplies.
He got a shot on his tail, hence the bandaid!
They are getting to be good at this.
Vivian always insists on being the nurse, and Kate is the doctor. 
At this time, when you ask V what she wants to be when she grows up, she will say a nurse!

olivia's shower  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

 We had a wonderful time celebrating soon-to-arrive baby Olivia the last weekend in June. We all tried to finish up the baby registry for Joey and Tasha...I know this baby girl will have everything she needs...and most importantly, lots of love from all her family and friends :)
 Hannah and Vivian had lunch together at the beginning of the party. She drove up for the shower with her dad Lucas and Aunt Amy (my cousins) from NC.


 This is Mark, Tasha's dad, with his girlfriend Lynn and his mom.
 Babies everywhere!

 I threw the shower together with Tasha's friend Kara. We decided to do a color-specific dessert table...of course, pink!





 This is Tasha's cousin Magen and her son.












 Gramme crocheted another blanket for her grandbaby!






 Hank finally woke up at the very end of the shower to say hello to everyone.


I gave the girls their first-ever chore with a monetary reward. I told them they could get a penny for every stick they picked up and put in their pile. It was amazing how many sticks they got and how focused they stayed on the task. They spent most of the time during the shower doing this. Everyone there will not soon forget the havoc that occurred when Kate's pile was accidentally tampered with...!!

What a great afternoon together. The end was so relaxing and enjoyable for all of us. Many stuck around for a while afterwards. Lucas and Hannah and Amy stayed for dinner that night, and Hannah stayed to spend the night! 
We are excited to meet Olivia in about a month!

omelet shoppe birthday  

Posted by Aaron and Lisa

We gave Vivian the choice of where to have her birthday lunch on June 18th with my family and she chose the Omelet Shoppe again this year! It was a big hit for the whole family.
 I was so encouraged by the effort that the people at the Omelet Shoppe gave to make it special for her.
My dad had breakfast there that morning and just mentioned to them that we would be coming for a birthday lunch.
 They had fresh flowers on the table, got a 5 candle for her cake, played the birthday song on the jukebox while we were eating, and put a birthday wish on the sign for her! 
It needs to be the new birthday hot spot.
 We ran to Walmart quickly before meeting everyone to get a few party things and an ice cream cake.
 Uncle Joey proudly wore a birthday hat again this year :) He loves his nieces.
 Opening presents!











 Vivian played this game and won! We couldn't believe it!

Happy birthday, sweet girl!
