Briar Patch 2010

Once again, Zaxby's was big hit tonight with their annual Briar Patch (we also do the Zaxby's Winter Wonderland at Christmas.) This year was even better because there was a train ride. What an appropriate train car that Max chose to ride in, huh?

Goofball on a Cannonball

Before we headed back home, we decided to check out downtown again and visit the Battery. The monkeys did their thing and climbed all over the weaponry before we headed to the nearby Marina for a yummy bruch.

The Wreck

After the race, the rest of the girls headed home and Jack and I got to enjoy a quiet day in the Charleston area with the kids. We hit the beach for a quick walk (the winds were nuts) and then had a lovely dinner at this little secret restaurant called The Wreck. Delicious seafood and BEAUTIFUL view!

Cooper River Bridge Run

A few pictures from our first time doing the CRBR this weekend. We all had a great run and really enjoyed our race.

GRITS: Girls RUNNING In The South

What a beautiful weekend for a trip to Charleston with great friends to run the Cooper River Bridge Run and have some "girl time" as well. On our free day, the gals and I headed downtown for some sightseeing, shopping, and of course eating.

Jail Birds

Max and I were fortunate enough to tag along on Kinsey's Girl Scout field trip to the county jail after school today. It was quite the neat experience complete with an all-access tour. We even go to see the inmates (high-security ones at that!) Fortunately the glass was one-way reflective. It was amazing to learn that we have less than 40 inmates right now. Good to know, I guess!


My kids were a little too comfortable inside this jail cell! Hope it's the only time I see them in one!

It seems as as children get older, weekends seem to go by faster and faster. We seem to get busier and busier and the calendar gets fuller as each week passes. I don't necessarily think this is always a good thing, and I'm sure it only gets worse as time goes by, but at least for the time being, we have such fun on the weekends! This weekend was one of those that was filled from start to finish with things to do.

Here are some pics from Friday night's Georgia baseball game.




Saturday morning was Touch a Truck and a fun run race with Kinsey followed by the kids (and Jack) getting to meet precious Baby Davis for the first time.







Finally, the weekend was rounded out with the AWANA Grand Prix race where Kinsey's "Rainbow 2000" derby car made its debut run.

March 16, 2010--There couldn't have been a more beautiful date for the arrival of my perfect nephew, Davis Folger Pitman. 7 lbs, 16 oz and 20 1/4 inches

There is no greater proof than the birth of a baby!

Maybe one day?!?

Kinsey dressed up for "Community Helpers Day" at school.

Retro

What an awesome birthday gift Max got--Jack's parents had HIS old John Deere tractor refurbished to mint condition! Awesome!

I love Max's face in this one too. I'm loving that spring is near--YAY!

Birthday Fun Brought to You By...

GRANDPARENTS!!!

After opening gifts and getting into his "treasure chest" of dress-up clothes (with a little help from his sister and cousin,) we took a trip to Chuck E Cheese with Nanny, Papadad, Granny and Thomas before they hit the road to head home after a fun-filled birthday weekend.





A quick rest and we headed to the park for birthday picnic with Nan and Granddaddy. Max couldn't have asked for a better birthday!

All Aboard the Birthday Train!

What a glorious day for Max's birthday party today! After weeks of worry about the weather, even snow earlier this week, the spring finally pulled through for us. It was a perfect party for Max, with "Mikey's Choo Choo Train" being the centerpiece of the party. Max didn't miss one single ride and even got his own private ride after the party was over. Jack and Papadad rose to the cake challenge again, creating their awesome masterpiece. Happy Birthday, my sweet little man!
