St John 2010

it's hard to believe that this year was our 4th year in St John! looks like we picked a great week to be away! a big shout out to mom who babysit and took on a few extra days while we were stuck in paradise!

id' like to send another big shout out to mom and dad allen for letting us come with them and stay the week and to betsy and ryan and linus who also made the trip super fun. We missed you Scanlons and jud and ing!!

greg and i relinquished all responsibilities for the week and literally did NOTHING but lay on the beach, drink cocktails, and plan our next trip to Woodies!! we did manage to squeeze some "exercise" into the vacay by incorporating some pool volleyball and two hikes. as always, we met some super interesting folks on the island and never had one dull day.

we were so lazy, that we barely took our camera anywhere. most of the scenic photos are on other cameras so you'll have to wait for those. we did manage to get some beautiful shots on our hike to Chocolate Hole and while having dinner at Asolare but mostly - our pics do not belong in a travel brochure.

This particular night these photos were taken, we thought we were hilarious. We are (I am) normal, i swear.

Jan 2010

it's hard to believe that January has already past we've moved into February. we've been busy and very tired - trying to battle icky colds and coughs and all this icy weather DC has been experiencing. picture taking has been slacking but here are funniest ones we've taken all month:

Sulley - the classiest of them all

Colton and his football pose

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR! we welcome twenty ten with open arms. it's going to be a great year...Bring it on!

Blizzard of 2009

Yeah well, i know this post doesn't fall in the right order date wise, but somehow i forgot to mention the big SNOW of 09. a week before christmas (as well all know) much of the east coast was blanketed with almost two feet of snow...probably the most snow i've ever seen at one time in my life. any who's, thank god we had groceries and i had mostly finished christmas shopping. not really sure when our streets/hood finally got plowed, as when we left for the lake tuesday night, there was no sign of the plow trucks.

At any rate, the kids did ok in the snow. everyone knows it takes about 45 mins to get them all bundled up and they lasts, oh maybe 15?! colton really could have cared less about the cold wet stuff but sulley seemed to enjoy being pulled around on a sled.

the power wheels ATV was perfect in the snow
