Terrific Tractors & other Cool Farm Machines

The rain held off long enough for the boys to explore the tractors at Shelburne Farms this weekend, and cleared up for us to have a nice picnic lunch!

Welcome Home Daddy!!

It was SO exciting for all of us to meet Scott as the plane landed from Iraq! Over 200 Airmen got off the plane, and the cheers were loud! We're so thankful that they made it home safe and sound, and, as you can imagine, Braden and Carter are so very happy to have Daddy home!!

Riverbanks Zoo

On Saturday Pappa and Gramma Seigfried took the boys and I to the zoo in Columbia, South Carolina, and it really was one of the best zoos we've been to in a while! Beautiful day, a large variety of animals, and even rides!

EdVenture World

While we waited for Scott's plane to come into South Carolina, the boys and I explored some of the fun things to do in Columbia, South Carolina with Gramma and Pappa Seigfried. On Friday, we went to EdVenture, an awesome children's museum the boys both loved!

Playdate

Fun morning and lunch at the Carter's house!
Cooking playdough:
Augh...they mixed the playdough colors!

Adapt and Overcome

While we're waiting to get our big screen TV fixed...because...Braden threw a toy at it and broke the screen(!), I moved a TV from upstairs downstairs so the boys could watch TV while I'm cooking dinner, etc. Apparently, the boys think that if they sit REALLY close to it, they can pretend it's a big screen!
