Long time...no post!

I know there are a few readers out there who have been checking our blog A LOT and probably getting upset that I haven't posted, but we've been crazy busy. We just got back from a 2 week trip from NC to KY to PA back to NC. We spent a week in KY with my family and then a week in PA with Eric's. The boys loved Gma and Gpa D's open yard, fresh off-the bush blueberries and beautiful weather. I can't possibly write every single thing we did, but here's an overview!

Once we got to PA, the boys played outside....

running up and down a slight hill in the backyard...

pushing the swings REALLY HARD and then letting them hit them in the chest...

riding in the swings...
chilling with Gma and Gpa D...
putting rocks, dirt, and grass in the bed of one of Eric's old trucks when he was little...
chasing each other down the hill...notice Connor on the left!!!...
going to the Pittsburgh Zoo. This zoo was amazing!!! They had every kind of animal you could imagine...even an aquarium! Here's a lazy lion...
BABY ELEPHANT!!! There were 2 babies there that were just born in July. So cute!
We all got to pet a deer too! These were some of the most docile deers I've ever seen. Well, Connor and I pet the deer while Brandon hunted for treasures in his nose...gotta love boys!
Connor and his fish face...sweaty fish face
Brandon and his sweaty face...it's HARD running in that big yard
We had a good time with all of our family and friends, but are SO glad to be back home. Safe and sound!

We didn't have any car problems this trip because...WE BOUGHT A NEW CAR!! Eric spoiled us with a 2008 GMC Yukon XL. This is a mean MEAN plowing beast of a car. We love it and couldn't have been happier to unload our Explorer. That car was problem after problem. If I think about it, I'll take a picture of the car and show y'all.

I'm going to curl up on the couch with Eric and explore the wide world of DVR. We finally got it today and are both ready to play with it.
