Recent Yard Work

We have been in our home almost a year now and things are coming along slowly but Ryan and I managed to get some landscaping done this weekend. We are the first house in our subdivision of about 90 lots to add any sort of "higher-end" edging, if you want to call it that. LOL! Take a look at the changes.

Sandi 2-2008

Sandi was adopted from the local shelter in February. She is a 5 year old Lab mix. She is a wonderful addition to our little family. She is a very good dog. She doesn't bark, beg, or potty in the house. Every time she walks up to anyone her first action is to roll over on her back and give you her tummy to be rubbed. She would rather have someone pet her than eat, literally. We had a hard time getting her to eat when we first got her but she is comfortable with her new environment and is eating just fine.

Fishin' - October 2007

Ryan and I got up early one morning and I snapped some beautiful pictures of the sunrise.

On this day the inlet was pretty rough. Where the Bay meets the ocean the waves were really crashing so Brodie wanted me to put on. Mr. Cautious.

Click on this pic to enlarge it and look at Brodie's face. He is trying to figure out how he's going to get that fish out of that net! LOL! Oh, he is so funny.

He's pretty excited!!!

This is Maggie. She is a friend of Ryan's. Maggie goes to work at the Station and she and Ryan play ball. Today Maggie wants to play "Throw the Fish!"

Halloween 2007

I haven't dressed up for Halloween since I was a kid and it's been a while for Ryan too. So, when my friend invited us to her daughter's Birthday/Halloween Party and costumes were mandatory, we coincidently came down with sore throats at the same time. The closer it got the the party the more my friend started pumping me up for it so we decided to go. I found this 80's style prom dress at a consignment shop for $10! What a find! Our costumes took in a life of their own from there. I turned into a Purple Witch and Ryan was a Vampire with horns. We had a great time at the party and really enjoyed dressing up this year.

R&R

Ryan and I are very happy to present our first baby! Her name is R&R. We got her August 3rd, 2007. She is 18' with a 115 hp Yamaha outboard engine and she seats about 6. So, come on down and visit beautiful North Carolina. We can't wait to take you for a ride.












Happy Daddy!

Beautiful views from the Coast Guard Station.















One of the beautiful views from the Cape Lookout Lighthouse.

This was taken only a few weeks after I hurt my ankle and I was still hopping around. I thought a shark was chasing me so I got scared and ran in knee-deep water...I hurt my ankle again. Oh, and the shark turned out to be floating sea kelp. Ha Ha.

This is the Cape Lookout Light house.










One happy couple.
