more beach-time!

Sunset Beach!

We're here at Sunset Beach in NC. So far the vacatino has been a lot of fun! We drove through the night on Saturday night so Blake would sleep the whole way, which he did, thankfully. The drive down actually went pretty fast. Driving overnight is the way to go. Absolutely zero traffic! The majority of the time we were the only car on the road. The busiest part was driving past pittsburgh. So far we've been just being beach bums and doing beachy things! Here's some pics.

Giggin Frogs

Friday night Travis and I had a nice fire outside by the lake after Blake was in bed. We were up until about 2:00am. It was fun. After sitting around the fire for quite a bit we decided to graba flashlight and catch some frogs! The frog Travis caught is "Ol' Bad Eye". He's always in the same spot all day and apparently all night. (and no, he's not dead, he just lives there) He only has 1 eye , hence the name. I missed a couple before I finally caught one. The first video is Travis, the second video is me. And then the pictures explain themselves. *Notice the size difference in the bullfrog i caught and the itty bitty frog travis caught :) hehehe.

Hey everyone. How was your Mothers Day? Mine was great. Travis got Blake out of bed for me and changed diaper; wow! Then we went out for a nice long drive around the back roads and walked a little. He took me to a place they call the "Tubs". Its on Beaver Creek and its just a part of the creek where there are huge flat rocks that go almost all the way across the creek, so the water flows into these little paths and its very fast moving. Its really pretty, but unfortunately i left my camera in the car, but in my defense i had no idea what the "tubs" were so i didn't know i'd need my camera. Travis should have told me to bring it. I'll get pics later, its really close to my house. Anyway, its these semi falls...but not really falls, more like chutes. Theres on rock that the water goes over/through and you can go in a hole, and it sucks you down into the rock and underwater and you go through the rock and it pops you at at the end! You could not pay me enough money to do that. What if you got stuck?????? Your dead for sure. No thanks, i'll pass on that. Travis' dad did it once back in his younger days. He's braver than me. I did take one pic of a pretty overlook we drove by. Its the picture at the end of my blog. As for the rest of the pictures, the first one Blake looks like he's talking to someone, and the second one looks like and Olan Mills picture where they make you put your hands under your chin just so and hold the pose forever.

I started work this past tuesday. Its was fun. I was really not looking forward to leaving blake for that long, but it worked out. His Grandma Barb watched him and then his daddy watched him after he got home. He did fine for the day and so did I:)Next week will be a breeze.

Pretty Pictures of My Sweet Boy

I love these pictures. I took these yesterday afternoon. They are in sequence and I think they are cute. :)

He looks like he's yelling for someone

High-yah! (i have no clue how to spell that...but you get what i'm trying to say, right?) The boxing blake. This is his worried look

He is getting mad at me

This is such a lazy "what?..." picture. love it.

"Huh?"

Look at those eyes!

Working Mom

Well, some news, not big news, but something kind of exciting. I'm going back to work for one day a week at the vet office. I'm excited because i really love that job, it will get me out of the house, I will get to socialize with other people and their animals, and Blake will get used to me being away and him being taken care of by other people. It will be good for both of us! I've never been away from him for more that 2 or 3 hours at a time. Barb is going to watch Blake on her days off (Tuesdays) and I'm going to work on that day. Its about 8 or 9 hours a week which isnt a lot but it will be nice to have that as some extra cash. :) I will miss Blake on that day. Here's some quick pics.

This is my sweet deaf Hank dog snoozing away
I have a clothes line! Yes, we are slightly amish. But is energy/electric saving. Plus, they smell good

This is me and Blake yesterday morning. He was sleeping on my and i was trying to get a picture of him sleeping, but to my suprise he was awake!

Laugh!

This video of Blake was taken the other day. Its so funny! He's just laughing at us taking his toy away. he has the kind of laugh that makes you just have to laugh along!
