Airshow!

We have been going to see the Air Show since Aaron was very small. We enjoy it every time!! Here are "the boys" walking in to find a place to sit...



Some of the demonstrations before the Blue Angels...





Walking around checking out the planes on display...



















The kids getting autographs from some of the pilots.



The Blue Angels!!!



Ian was happier when he finally was given some ear plugs.






Checking out some of the army trucks on the way out....









Here is one of the pretty birds that has decided to stay in our yard this summer. We see this bird and his mate every day at the feeder.

A Race and Flowers!!

Randy and I joined some friends to go to the Darlington Nascar Race. This was my first race! Here we are waiting for the race to begin.



Billy Currington show before the race.......he is actually from right here in our town! His mama and my mama worked together for years and were good friends!


The pre-race stuff....here is Richard Petty.



....and there they go!










This car was so beat up but kept on going!!! We were sitting right in front of the start finish line and pit row!


The race was Mother's Day weekend. Before we left to go, these flowers were delivered to me from Randy and the kids......I love roses and daisies!! They were soooo pretty!


Randy getting some Jacey snuggles!

STRAWBERRIES! STRAWBERRIES!!



We decided to go to a strawberry farm Wednesday morning. The one we had planned to go to was out of berries so we went to the Bamboo Farms in Savannah. We had a great time! Heather went with us too. The kids wanted to look at the big fish in the pond before we started picking.



Fish and turtles!!







We were all excited when this little baby turtle swam up! It looks bigger in this picture but.....





in this one you can tell how tiny it really was!








Ian's favorite thing is strawberries so he was very excited to see the huge patch!



















































We picked for about 45 minutes and ended up with about 25 POUNDS of berries!!!








Some of the berries after we got home and started washing them!! YUMMY!




We froze 3 gallon size Ziploc bags full! Thursday morning, we started working on strawberry jam! Kristen made us a great strawberry banana smoothie for lunch!



The first batch of jam!



A bowl full of fresh strawberries, strawberry smoothies and homemade strawberry jam!!








The second batch of jam in the pot!

We ended up with 24 8 oz jars of jam!! It is so good! I also made 3 loaves of bread Thursday too! That evening, Stephanie and her kiddos came over to hang out. That was nice since things have been so hectic around here, we haven't seen each other as much as normal. We grilled burgers and just chatted.
