1st Day of School

Today was the boys first day of school. It was Steven's second year attending the school so he was a pro but Matthew's first, and it was a rough morning for mommy. I missed his smiley facce all day but they both had a GREAT day and really enjoyed their teachers. Matthew's teacher wants to adopt him. She would have him back to me in 2 days... guaranteed :-)

Enjoy the photos everyone.

Matthew's teacher... Ms. CC

Beauties of America Pageant

This last Saturday night I had the opportunity to attend the 24th Annual Beauties of America Pageant. It was a wonderful pageant and would suggest this system to anyone of my friends. The winners were beautiful inside and out. I also ran into a very dear friend of mine, Mrs. NY America 2004 Missy Ognibene. She is such a sweetheart and it was so wonderful to see her. I also met the new state director for North Carolina International Joy Pfister who I think is a wonderful person and am looking forward to working with her. Aislinn Carter is someone else that I met is a such a hoot. We laughed almost the entire pageant and she is just so amazing. We actually share the same birthday and live not far away from each other, so I feel bad for the hubby :-) Enjoy the photos and see you all soon.

Missy and myself as always... laughing

Surfers Healing

Both the boys this year got the honor of surfing in Wrightsville Beach, NC. It was an amazing experience. I hope you enjoy these photos of them as much as I do. Both of the boys did a great job and had a blast after their first wave in. They both went out and stayed out for a quite awhile. They would ride the wave in and then get back on and go back out. It was a wonderful thing to see and if you ever have the chance to experience a Surfers Healing Event I would highly suggest you pack up the beach bag and go for the day. It will bring a tear to your eye.
