October 09

Wow has been a very long time since we have posted. I am truly sorry about that. Since the wedding and moving to Travis and I both being in school its been a busy 6 months.

Well here we are November already!! October was a very busy month for us. We celebrated Austyns 10th birthday, a little visit from Ben and Steve, then there was Eds and Todds birthday, Todd and Al's wedding, Travis' "visit" to the VA, then my 30th birthday along with visiting my brother Cody at basic in Fort Benning, GA. Like I said it was a busy one. Here are some pics of our adventures!!!

Here is Austyn opening up some gifts!!

When Ben and Steve came down we went to see Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D. It was so cool and Benny watched both with out complaining or moving!! The next day we went to Swan Lake to feed the ducks and swans with a little stop at the playground!

On our way to Todd and Al's wedding we stopped by in Watkins so I could see my family. Here are a couple pictures of my nieces and nephew Kaylin, Kahlin, and Elisabeth!!

Well we made it to the wedding and here is Todd getting ready with a little help from his dad!!

The Bride and Groom!!!

For my birthday I didn't do too much just drove down to see my brother Cody. He is in basic training for the Army and is in Fort Benning, Ga. My mom flew down to Atlanta and we drove down the rest of the way. It was nice seeing him and knowing that he is enjoying himself. He graduates the day before Thanksgiving then off to Colorado for more training!!

Fun Times with Grandpa!!

The past week Austyn was here for his spring break along with Ed visiting from New York!

Helping grandpa mix cement for the fence!

Austyn and Grandpa also went to the zoo together and had a wonderful time!!

Ed and I went on a little adventure checking out some campsites, well the park ranger told us about a gator, and we actully saw him in his own habitat, it was really neat!

A little catching up!!

As you all know we have been busy with wedding plans, so here are a couple pictures from Christmas and such!! Sorry so late!!

Carving Pumkins

I know its been awhile since the last post, but we have been busy. Travis started a new job today at CAT. I have been working a lot and going to school. Austyn played football for the first time this fall and his team was undefeated until semi-finals. We had Austyn for the past week and we celebrated our birthdays. He was so happy to be with dad. They went to an open drag race, he didn't want to leave. Austyn insisted that we get two pumpkins to carve for him and I. Last year we did it, so I guess thats going to be our little tradition!!! Here are some pics of the pumpkins we carved.

Carowinds

As one of our "mini" vacations we decided we would go to Carowinds for the day. We all had such a great time.

In two states at one time !!


Thought it would be cool to watch the boat come
down the hill!!! He got a face full!


Did realize that when you put your wet face on
inked paper it transfers!!!!


Travis and Melissa waiting in line.


Austyn went on this rollercoaster all by him self!!


We decided to go on a "balloon" ride!

A Little Catch Up!

Lets do a little catch up. For Fathers Day we decided we would go to the beach.
We made a stop before the beach at Ride Makerz on the boardwalk. It was a special of buy one get one FREE, so they both got to make their customized Ridez!!!

Loving the water all the time!!!

Just a test!!

So I decided that I would try to start a blog so our families could see what we were up to down here in South Carolina. Traci, Travis' sister, has a blog and I got the idea from her. This is just a test run to see how is goes. More to come!!
