Update

I planted peas way back on President's Day.

Since then, we have had very cold weather for Maryland.

It has snowed, and frozen, and just been awful!

I was afraid my peas were goners.

and I was going to have to replant and post another "fail" post on the blog.

Here is a picture maybe 4 weeks ago of the peas, peeking out.

and then here again, about two weeks ago.

Also the day all three of us got exposed to poison ivy

which we are still dealing with today.

AWFUL stuff.

Springtime is so fun. . . . . . 

Bring on the Spring!!!

No more snow please :)

Spring Break

 We had a HUGE spring break.

Meaning that a lot happened during spring break.

Chancy had called to tell us he was thinking about getting married.

So we had them both come out to go on vacation with us.

Before we left for our "planned" vacation.

We went to DC to do the tourist thing.

For most people DC IS the vacation!

Unbeknownst to me, Chancy had planned on asking his girlfriend

to marry him.

At the Lincoln Monument.

(I had to make them reenact the asking, because someone stepped in front of me the first time)

:)

He even had a ring . . . . . . . 

Congrats Chancy and Malorie!

We also went to North Carolina

so McKay could take Emily his "friend that is a girl" to her Senior Prom.

I have so many fun pictures . . . . . 

This is at the Roosevelt Memorial.

At the Lincoln Monument.

5 inch heels!!!!!
Yikes.  (but pretty!!)

She wouldn't put this on for her mom.

But I convinced her.  Tee hee.

A Masquerade Ball.

This was the best of the pics I took of Lincoln.

Tongue and all.

He and McKay are so hard to capture being serious.

At Kitty Hawk.

We visited this last year

BUT

Malorie and Chancy hadn't been 

so we did a repeat.

This is a fun little park to play in . . . 

even as a BIG kid!

As we were leaving McKay's

"friend that is a girl's" house  :)

her mom gave us a sled and told us we 

NEEDED to go to the sand dunes on the Outer Banks.

So we did . . . . 

Lincoln plowed us a path to sled down.

There were people going a lot faster on Boogie boards.

Something to remember.

As kids we used to spend a lot of time at the sand dunes.

Usually on Easter.

This was Easter.

I was having flashbacks of all our good-ole-times at the dunes.

Chancy running up the dune. 

I did it too!

The beach had Sooooooo many shells on it.

And they were big!

I loved this one with the barnacles growing on it.

It was so cold we couldn't really enjoy the beach.

We walked on it one morning, but it was too cold the other mornings.

I broke away and spent a couple hours by myself 

sitting, listening, watching, reading and enjoying.

LOVE IT!

Miniature golf.

Lincoln teaching Malorie to golf.

(Like it really mattered!!!!) 

I think we all got at least 1 hole-in-one that day.

FUN!

I had to take a picture of the place we stayed at.

It reminded me of what the house looked like in the

Lemony Snicket's movie

A Series of Unfortunate Events.

What do you think????
