Our new ear muffs for Justin

Cool girl

The fourth of July weekend we took the boys to Busch Gardens Williamsburg using our free military tickets.  Justin was a little worried at first and didn't want to ride any rides.  Can we say a little fustrating.  Jacob wanted to ride every ride and he did.  After about two hours Justin warmed up and was riding all the rides.  We even stayed for the fireworks which were fun.  We were a little worried about Justin and the loud noise of the fireworks but he did it and enjoyed the fireworks for the first time in six years.  Way to go buddy.

T-ball

Getting ready to bat.  Justin's coach the one standing with him. Left after so many games and stopped coming.

Bring it home Justin.

Justin asked to play T-ball this year and so we finally signed him up.  Jacob wasn't old enough to play this year.  You must be five or older to play.   It was pretty crazy let me tell you.  We played two games a week with no practices.  Not really sure it Justin learned all the much but he had a great time and that's what counts for him.  He was really good at playing.  As each game went by he would get better.  I think that Justin is going to do very well in sports.

The Zoo for Fathers Day

Asian Red Panda

Jacob's favorite animal

This peacock was showing his true colors for the boys.

This year we decide to go to the Norfolk zoo for Fathers Day.  Then have dinner where ever Red picked.  We had a great time at the zoo the boys love running around at the zoo and getting to see everything.  They really loved getting to see the new Trail of the Tiger.We did get rained on but that's okay we had a great time and the rain came at the very end. 

Rebecca Marie Rademacher

Rebecca Marie Rademacher arrived on May 7th at 7:06pm She weighed in at 8 lbs 11oz 21.4 inches long.  The boys love her.  They both want to hold her and help with everything that we do with her. 

Justin's birthday!!

Happy 6th Birthday to Justin.  I can't believe that its been six years since I had the wonderful honor of becoming a mom to a great little boy.  This year since Easter fell on Justin's birthday we decide to celebrate his birthday on another day.  For his birthday this year we decide to go to the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo.  What a great day we had with the boys.  After our fun outing to the Aquarium we took Justin to a dinner of his choice.  He choose to go to Dirty Dicks Crab House.  Jacob likes to call it  Dirty Jobs Crab House.  We had a great fun time with the boys before little Miss Rebecca arrived.

Easter

 All the kids!

Jacob and his eggs.

This year we decide to invite a few other coastie friends over for Easter.  We had a great potluck dinner and Easter egg hunt that all the kids had fun in.  We just let the kids have the run of the backyard and enjoyed ourselves.  What a great way to spend the day with our friends.
