Time to say Goodbye...

I am always amazed at how time flies.  It feels like just yesterday (August 2004), Katie and I were up here searching for apartments to live together in, so we could finish our lovely degrees at ECU.  Fast forward about 10 months and I'm marrying a wonderful man and starting a life together with him (June 2005).  A few months later, he graduates with his BS (December 2005), then we moved into a new apartment.  Pregnancy came about a year later (Feb 2007), with me graduating as well with my BA (May 2007), and then about 5 months later we move into our first home (September 2007).  We welcomed Gabby in November 2007.  Life really took off then, even though at times it seemed to creep along.  A year after her birth, hubby was looking for a new job, which kept us in Greenville.  That I have to say, was a big surprise.  He had so many interviews in Raleigh, Durham, and even Virginia.  We really thought we would be moving.  Heavenly Father had other plans for us.  It kept us close to family while we welcomed little man Cavan in June 2010.  I know I will always be in awe of how Heavenly Father works in our lives.  Our time here in Greenville has come to an end though.  Clay took a job yesterday in Chapel Hill at UNC, which as many of you know, he is a HUGE UNC basketball fan so I think that is a awesome perk for him.  I am going to miss all of you so much!  I love all of you more than you know and seriously expect to continue to hear from y'all and a visit when you come to Chapel Hill/Raleigh Area!  (Family you already know you are expected to visit and stay in touch, just in case you were wondering =0))!  We have about two, maybe three weeks before we have to be gone, but hopefully sooner as far as our stuff goes, for Ya Ya's sake anyways!  =0)

Go check out this Awesome Giveaway from a dear friend!!!!!!!!!!!!  I hope to be picked!!!!!!

Lovely July...

 I was craving these...again, at the beginning of the month.  So, I made some!  Yummmmmmm!

 Cavan had some too...these looked especially delicious.

 We totally dressed the kiddos up on the day Spider-man came out, and went to Hardee's to get our free cheeseburgers.  Gabby and Cavan, were absolutely adorable.  The manager said we were the second to come in that day for the deal.  Odd that the lovely city of Greenville did not jump on the opportunity to get a free burger...

 This definitely is digressing a bit, however I forgot to post photos from our 4th of July festivities at Grandmaw's and Paw Paw's.  I did not get all of the pictures up, but these will do for now!  The kids are getting so big.  It's so funny to think that last summer, Cavan was still needing assistance in walking, while this year, we cannot keep him still.  Proof's in the pictures!

 Just so tired...

 Really need to mow the lawn...

 "Gabby, don't turn around, there is a monster coming..."

 "Ahhhhh, he got you..."

 "RUNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!"

 Get those bugs...ewwwwww...

 Don't know why, but whenever I go outside, I get attacked...

 But then I go into sumo stance, and I take them down...

 and then we are all fine and dandy.

 I made a yummy recipe from Bakerella, that was super good for our 4th dessert.

 Once we got inside and all changed, it was time to attack Uncle David.  I mean, he deserved it, right?!  Ha!

 Let the festivities begin.  "Ook!"  Cavan's first sparkler.  He loved it.

 Gabby's first go, did not end very well.  This link below is to a video that is so funny, mainly because of Phil.  He was our fire putter outer, with his red cup of super stealth water.  Needless to say, he was a little anxious to use it...
