Big Brothers....

11 weeks today, so I thought I'd share the exciting news---sometime in February 2014 Braden and Carter are going to be Big Brothers!!!!

Vacation Bible School

Our Community Pool

Here in Virginia every day seems like a pool day! We can literally walk to it from our house, so they boys and I have been spending lots of time there over the past several weeks, which is a great way to cool down and meet some nice neighbors! They have a lifeguard (hence Braden w/ the life preserver) and one of our favorites is now our babysitter for the summer! Awesome!

Pirate Training Camp

The Waterman's Museum in downtown Yorktown, VA, has an awesome week-long Pirate training camp, where elementary aged kids get to learn all about being pirates! They do tons of games and crafts all week, and Braden absolutely LOVED it!

Soccer Camp

I had both boys signed up for a week long soccer camp, Carter's first sports camp, thinking it would be great fun. Not sure if it was the extremely hot weather or the newness of it all, but neither wanted anything to do with it. Maybe soccer just isn't their thing? Hopefully not true, we'll have to give it another try in the fall. I did manage to get a few cute pics of Carter before he decided he wasn't up for participating...

Water Country USA

Adams Resort and Spa

From our new house we're less than 200 miles from the Adams family--the closest we've ever lived to them! The boys had a sleep over with their cousins July 5th and we spent the whole next day playing in their pool and enjoying their company. Hopefully the sign of many more similar days with them to come!

July 4th 2013

Busch Gardens

Like many of our Yorktown friends, we got family annual passes to Busch Gardens---only 25 minutes from our house! So much fun on the first day, definitely we will be getting our money's worth over the next year!

Renovations

Moving Mania

Two full days of packers, 239 boxes, one full day of movers = two tired Seigfrieds!

Air Command and Staff College Graduation

Proud parents:

Distinguished Graduated program, top 10% of all graduates, good job Scott!

Air Command and Staff College Graduation Ball

Gathering of Eagles

Tipping Point

We've been meeting friends at the Tipping Point throughout the year in Alabama---a great restaurant and bar that has an outdoor place for kids to play! Seriously, it's perfect for us moms, dads and kids! Our boys love the hill (here they are sliding down it with cardboard boxes!) and hang out with their friends while we watch them, eat dinner and catch up with our friends on the patio! Going to miss this place!
