Fire House

2nd Field trip with Violet's class was to the local Firehouse. I think I was more excited about this trip then she was:) Although she did ask them if girls could be a fireman and that she wanted to do that! Violet I discovered, has quite the flair for drama, not quite sure where she gets that from.... She volunteered for everything and was picked for most since she was sooo responsive to everything. My favorite was when they were teaching them to "stop-drop-roll" in case they ever catch on fire and they should never play with candles or to be careful around campfires cuz sometimes parents are watching as well as we should be. Violet raises her hand and informs the fireman that HER Mom walks away all the time and doesn't watch her around fire....I was shocked and then everyone is looking at me like I'm Mother of the Year! I tried to explain that we have battery operated candles, that's how "safe" we are at our house! Not sure if they bought it though:) Another favorite was when she told them I was her grandmother...What?! Her teacher informed me that she is always like this and loves to offer up information to make people laugh....GREAT!

Pumpkin Patch Field Trip

Violet had her first field trip with her 4 year old preschool class out to the Pumpkin Patch in Davidsonville.

Harvest Festival

Every year we hit up Cox Farms and this year we were there for the "preview" weekend. They have these awesome slides, lots of animals, hayrides, games, and lots of apple cider! The kids have a blast every year here. We Love FALL!!

Not sure why the Easter Bunny was there, but the kids loved it?!


this is last year, 2009, look how much they have grown!

My girl likes to milk her some cows!

Owen LOVED feeding the goats and would run after them saying "here mommy" because he heard Brandon say that one of them was a Mommy and just had babies, so I guess he thought they were all mommies:)



Owen's weigh in last year-look at those cute curls:)

USNA 10 Year Reunion

Brandon had his TEN year reunion from the Naval Academy! We both couldn't believe it has already been 10 years. We took Violet with us to show off plus she LOVES Navy Football:) It was a bit too long of a day for Owen to hang, but we showed off lots of pictures of him to all B's friends.
