They're Finally Off!!!!







Bailey got the braces she's had on since the 3rd grade off today. Her response and I quote "All my teeth are finally straight after half my life" :) It was a long, long, long process but she has been rewarded with a beautiful smile!! She was not thrilled about me taking pictures before and during but doesn't it make the final picture so much more worth it ;)

Downtown, The Dockside and Mellow Mushroom


















Every time we go to Wilmington we make a trip to the Dockside for dinner, so this trip was no different. Lori wanted a picture of the "sisters". When Bailey walks up and sees us all posing she says "thanks for inviting me" then when I try to get her to join she resisted to prove a point, but ultimately I won ;) While we were in North Carolina we wanted to go into downtown Wilmington and walk around. It's a really beautiful area and has quaint shops to browse in. We were take our families picture but Rudy was having no part of being left out of a potential photo opp :) Cooking for such a large group gets a little much so one night we opted for a night out and pizza. We tried take a cousins picture, but Rudy was slightly tired from missing a nap and wanted NO part of it. Colleen had to join him and as you can tell he was still not happy about it.

Deep Sea Fishing












My mom's husband, Charles, owns a boat so he took anyone who wanted to go deep sea fishing. The boys were all about it, but the girls decided to spend the day hanging out on the main drag of the beach for shopping and souvenirs. The following day Charles took the kids tubing too. There was definitely no time to be bored on this trip :)
