I will not miss our ugly broken driveway. You may not be able to tell from this photo but there are numerous huge cracks throughout. Also pictured below is our rotted deck.

Newest Addition to the SuperBrandons Family

The SuperBrandons SuperCamper! We have tested it out 4 weekends in a row now and are very happy with our glorified tent :)  This weekend we stayed 2 nights at Hanging Rock State park. We did a lot of hiking (one loop was 4.5 miles, Louis did the whole thing! Jamey got a ride for part of it.)  Saw several waterfalls and some cool rock formations. Great time!

Mexico Wedding Part 1

This month we (sans Louis and Jamey) spent a week at The Aventura Spa Palace in Mexico to attend Nathan (Derek's youngest brother) and Ashley's wedding.

First things first, check out the swim up bar...and some crazy big lizard creatures


The big day!

Elizabeth's Visit - 4th of July Weekend

First night - boys took a bath together. Next morning we did pancakes outside for breakfast, followed by fun in the pool.

The next day we headed to Falls Lake.

The boys (with a tiny bit of parental assistance) put together a monster marble track.

On the 4th, we did some black snake, poppers and sparklers.

Last day...

Jamey's Birthday Celebration

We celebrated Jamey's birthday a day early. We headed to the coast to enjoy Wrightsville Beach for a couple hours.

Weekend with Grandparents

We had a fun visit to the grandparent's lake house this weekend.

The kids shared not only a room but also a bed!

The boys and I went with my friend Janna plus her 3 boys to Falls Lake (about 15 min away) for the morning.
