The Outer Banks of North Carolina

After Washington DC we headed to North Carolina to spend the week at the beach with my whole family. We had such a great time swimming, playing in the ocean, crabbing and just relaxing!

Washington DC

We were able to take an amazing vacation this year. We went to Washington DC and Virginia. We visited many historical sites and enjoyed all of it! We walked and walked and walked and saw so many interesting things. We learned a lot of history too. We visited a few Smithsonian's, Arlington Cemetery ,WWII memorial, Vietnam memorial, Lincoln Memorial, International Spy Museum, the White House, The Old Post Office, Fredericksburg, Civil War battlefields, Thomas Jefferson's house and lots more! We had a great time!

Caylin took a nasty crash on her bike. She was pretty banged up but was a trooper. Luckily kids bounce back quick!

Peyton turns 8

Peyton turned 8 and we had fun celebrating! We had a party with his friends. They had a good time playing sports, opening presents and eating cake. Then Peyton was baptized and we celebrated with our family and friends. Peyton was so excited and had a great birthday!
