We spent the week in Bristol, Tn with my sister and her family a week ago. There are 4 boys under the age of 5, so to say it was an adventure is an understatement! My sister Jeanette came with us and you would think with 4 kids and 4 adults it wouldn't be so difficult,but...! We had a good time though, the boys played outside and we went to the Nascar museum, played rock band, and made them go out shopping with us a couple of times. It is always fun to go and visit.

My boys love Nascar, that is what their room is decorated in, and what the theme of the birthday party we are planning is, so every time we go visit they beg to go.



Our picture pose turned into ring around the roses- they have such a fun time together!

Mother's Day

I am just now getting to Mother's Day which was a week ago. I have had a busy week, and have just now had a chance to play on my computer. Patrick, Preston, and Gavin gave me this printer for Mother's Day and I love it! I like to scrapbook, but am sad to say that I haven't really done it since Preston's 1st birthday (he will be 5 next month)! I mentioned to Patrick that maybe I would try digital scrapbooking and would love one of the 12x12 printers. So now I have no excuse to put it off, I have all the tools, if only I knew where to start!

Back to reality!

We had a wonderful time at the beach in Gulf Shores, AL! We had perfect weather the whole time, and have decided that the end of April or first of May is the best time to go. It was not crowded at all, and it was in the 80s during the day and only needed a light jacket at night. We loved our condo, and plan on staying there every time we go. They had this cool zero entry pool that the boys loved because they could walk until the water got to their necks and it had fountains too. They never wanted to go to the beach though, we had to promise to take them to the pool after! We were on the 16th floor, and after I was assured the boys couldn't fall over, we spent all our time out there. There were some crazy seagulls out there though! One night we took our pizza out there and within seconds swarms of seagulls were flying at us! I tried to take a picture, but you really had to be there to understand! So now we are back, and very excited for summer to be here after spending the week in the sun!

I'm blogging!

I decided to start my own family blog because I think it is a great way for family and friends to keep updated on everything, and I love to read all the blogs! I started a diet blog a few months ago, but no one logs in anymore-they must be doing as well as I am. As soon as I created the boyles family blog, blogger wouldn't let me use it because they were investigating me for spam! The only thing on the blog was a background and a picture- so I am not sure where that came from. I am allowed on now, hopefully it lasts. That kind of thing has become my life though. I think it all started when I dropped my moms car keys down an elevator shaft- it has been downhill since! I put the palm trees as my background because we are leaving Monday for the beach- and I am so excited! I don't have any great pictures right now, but hope to have some next week. I plan on taking lots of pictures so that maybe I will get a few good ones.
