A star in the making!

Reece has always loved to dance, but recently he started to "sing" in the car. Our little rock star! Maybe he is the next American Idol.

Someone is in a Big Boy Bed! We moved Reece to a big boy bed and he loves it...and he hasn't fallen out yet!





Reece's Ice Skating

We all know Riley loves to ice skate. Well it looks like Reece may not be far behind. We bought him double-bladed skates for his shoes and he LOVED it! Looks like I may be a hockey mom!











Trip to St. Martin, FWI

In April we flew to the French side of St. Martin for a family vacation. It was a LONG flight! But we made it and had a very relaxing time. We may not be flying with the boys for awhile though:)




Reece's first flight!







See the cloud that looks like a seahorse!

An attempt at a family photo!

The Boys Rollerblading



Trip to Yates Mill






Yates Mill, one of the oldest buildings in Wake County, is the region’s only surviving operable gristmill. For nearly 200 years the water-powered mill produced lumber, milled corn and wheat, and carded wool. The land on which the mill is situated was surveyed for Samuel Pearson in October 1756, and granted to him by the Earl of Granville, one of the North Carolina colony’s Lord Proprietors. The original mill was built around at that time. Pearson steadily increased his land holdings, and owned more than 600 acres (2.4 km2) at the time of his death in 1802. In 1819, accumulated debts forced Pearson’s son, Simon, to sell the mill and its surrounding acreage at a sheriff’s auction. William Boylan, a prominent Raleigh businessman and director of the State Bank, bought the property, and over the next 30 years modernized the mill several times, adding a sawmill in the 1840s.
