Richard's new baby...
Okay, so, either I have not been taking enough pictures of the kids on their summer vacation or my life really is boring. But not Richard's. He has a new baby in town, the Dodge Charger. He got his new company car, I know he is even spoiled at work. At first he was reluctant to accept the Charger. "It just doesn't have the personality that the Magnum does", he says. Well, now that he has "accessorized" the Charger, he has fully accepted it into his vehicle graces. HAHAHA! I am laughing at this post, when he reads it he will probably not think it is as funny as I do. But the man loves his cars. And let me remind you that I did not take the pictures of his car. I just came across them in my pictures folder. So here is our latest news. HeHeHe!

Off we go, into the horizon..
Oaky, maybe not the horizon, but at least a couple of hours from the dock. On our last visit to Raleigh, our boys were determined to go out on the sailboat. They LOVE it, and tell their friends about sailing with Papa, and Grammer. We had been in town before that,and did not get to go (not windy enough). The boys were so eager to go out this visit, that they even suggested using their breath to blow at the sails. They are full of hot air,but nice try boys! So we headed down to Bath, with our swimsuits, lunch, and smiling faces. It was a beautiful day, not too hot, not too windy (really windy is just as bad as not so windy) , and we had a very fun and relaxing day. Richard, Dallin and Parker wanted to jump in and swim, so after Papa took us on a little "SPIN" around the sound, they jumped in. And,the boys are already planning their next trip on the boat. They are little skippers in the making.

TADA! I am ready to go! Posted by Picasa
