Derby 2010

After missing a couple of Derby's while in South Carolina, we realized we NEVER want to do that again. Derby is too much fun, it is a family tradition for me and we just want to make sure we go every year! We traveled home and started off right away at the Oaks, followed by meeting up for a brunch before Derby, then headed to the track again and topped it off with visits with family and Claudia Sanders Dinner House. Abigail was entertained by multiple family sitters including Great Grandma Duncan and Duffee, Aunt Chrissie and Bubie and Zeyde-thanks a bunch guys!

Spring Beach Trip

We headed East to the beach for a relaxing weekend to celebrate our 5th anniversary. Our Beach condo was right on the ocean and was in a great location. We hit several restaurants, outlet malls, the lazy river and pool, and of course the beach. Abigail loves the water, in fact, when we had to leave the pool or beach a mighty tantrum was thrown.
The Tequila Hurricane at Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville sucked me right up, Mommy and Daddy had to fish me out of the giant blender



Our 50th trip down the lazy river......

Daddy helped me pick out some great seashells that I will treasure forever...no really, I play with them everyday and I am always counting them to make sure none go missing.

Chillin' on the balcony in my beach gear.

No trip is complete without a ridiculous amount of money spent on the carousel!

We celebrated Easter this year with an Easter Egg Hunt, Church at St. John Neuman and another Easter Egg Hunt at my friend Cody's House. Abigail was VERY into Easter this year since it involved candy and lots of cool gifts in multiple Easter baskets, but she is not spoiled, not at all.





The Lake Carolina Easter Egg Hunt was a madhouse, in fact, it was over in 60 seconds and we missed most of it.





Luckily, there were live bunnies, arts and crafts and a Bouncer-so I was entertained for awhile!





Mommy made me wear this frou-frou dress for Easter mass.





But I looked awfully cute in it!


After mass, I ripped that frou-frou dress off and headed over to Cody's house for an Easter Egg Hunt. We were exhausted after the hunt and jumped in his wagon to cool off and count our booty!

Spring is in the Air

We are still here! We have just been busy traveling and are finally back home for a long time! Yay! We have been doing some fun stuff this spring including trips to Gatlinburg, the Zoo, A St. Patty's Day Parade and the Annual Lake Carolina Oyster Roast.

No thanks, you guys eat those Oysters, I will stick to my plastic food. They look really good though.....NOT!

Movie time at the hotel with Daddy, Aunt Chrissie and Julia.

Mommy and a friend went on a girls weekend, but Daddy and I had even more fun at the Zoo!

Me and my buddy Henry watching the St. Patty's Day "parade"! Mommy says this parade kinda sucked, but then again, she just got back from Mardi Gras!
