This time I have a good excuse for not updating. We just got back from vacation to North Carolina and Indiana. We had such a great time with family and friends.

Here are the boys and their cousin Naudiyah playing in the creek in Banner Elk, N.C.


Donovan, Xavier, and Naudiyah on the deck of Amazing Grace. What a view.

A day at Wildcat Lake.

Fourth of July parade in Banner Elk, N.C.

Nana and the boys at Chuck E. Cheese.

Before we started out on our hike at Turkey Run State Park.

The boys loved running along the creek bed, getting wet and muddy!

This was inside the Nature Center. Notice the pose -- thanks Papa!

Happy Birthday Papa. We were very happy to be there to celebrate with him.

My adorable nephew, Ian. So sweet!

Here he is again, enjoying a day at the Indy Zoo.

That's my boys. Animal lovers and water babies.

Hendricks County Fair here we come.

Not enjoying the roller coaster as much as I thought he would.

So cool.
