Snowmagedden & Cacapon 2014

The past couple years we've seemed to escape the February snow storm, but not this year! It arrived right before our big trip to Cacapon, WV with the Dew family. We got about 20 inches on Thursday and then headed up to Cacapon on Friday around noon.  The timing really could not have been more perfect! Actually, neither could the mild tempatures on Friday that allowed the roads to clear a little quicker so we could get out :)

 

Glad they like to help now. I'm sure in a few years it will be a different story!

taking a little break!

 Ready for our weekend road trip....

can't imagine what it will look like when we go for a week to the OBX!

Happy 7th Birthday, Jackson!!!

7 years young! It sure does fly by! Jack is sweet, handsome, respectful, loving and funny! We have loved every stage with this kid, he's just awesome! We had a minion lego party which turned out to be a minion themed lego party since mama couldn't find minion lego sets that got good reviews. We decided to get lego race cars sets instead and all the kids built race cars and then raced them down the ramp daddy made in the basement. Mama's minion cupcakes turned out great and Aunt Kathy actually surprised us and made some too!

 They were delicious, thanks Aunt Kathy!

 

 

 

 

He got tons of cool presents!
