We had a fun Memorial Day weekend this year. We were supposed to drive down to Georgia and look for houses this past weekend, but our plans changed. For right now, we have decided not to buy a house in Georgia because we are only going to be there for just under two years. We had originally thought that we may be there for three plus years, but as luck would have it, Perry only had to re-enlist for two years instead of three. As much as I would love to have a brand new house of my own, the hassle of buying and then trying to re-sell just 2 years later has deterred me. I guess we will be sticking it out for a couple more years and renting a house. We will however, hopefully be making a trip down to Georgia within the next couple of weeks to find a house to rent. I can totally see our minds changing once we actually see what we can buy down there for a fraction of what it costs here in Maryland. We'll have to see.
Friday we took the kids to a little carnival that was here for the weekend. The kids had a blast. The rides were fun for them and made both Perry and I realize how old we are getting as we both got motion sickness. Fun stuff. Monday we hosted a little BBQ at our house with a bunch of friends. The weather was awesome, the food was delicious, and the kids were occupied with the sprinklers, pool, bubbles and sidewalk paints. Sadly, we did not get any pictures of them playing, but it was a fun night. We are trying to do as much with friends as possible as our time here is winding down quickly.

I love this picture of Andrew (minus the shadow over his face) He was in roller coaster heaven.

I'm jealous of you guys. There is a carnival here right now but I'm afraid of the meth booth right next to the teacups ride.
Looks like fun, you guys! I love your kiddos' faces in that last one. Are you guys going to be around here at all this summer? If so, we should get together!
I didn't take any pictures either, and I had my camera! I really need to be better about photo ops. It was so much fun though, thanks for hosting!
When and where are you moving to Georgia?
We are going to the Augusta area mid July.
looks like a blast!your little boy looks so much like perry, so stinkin' cute!
colter was named after antone per-say but my mom came up with the name, john colter was with lewis and clark when they discovered yellowstone...so kind of i guess
good luck in georgia!
Looks like you had fun! Your kids are so cute. I saw that you were here too, Dang! I'm not going to let you get away with that too many more times! So, Molly won't answer me on her blog...who is getting married in your family? You know I love you all!
I haven't been online to visit blogs in like a month! You guys are so lucky to have had such a fun trip in NYC! Your kids are so cute, I love all the pics of you guys!
The kids are getting so big!! I can see so much of you and Perry in them and they are so beautiful. I wish so much that I could be a more present relative in their lives. I'm a great aunt and hardly get to see any of my grand nieces and nephews!!! Loved the pics from New York too - I saw Wicked here in Chicago and loved it as well. I'm working on trying to make it for Laura's wedding but don't know if I'll be able to. I really want to though!! Kiss those kids for me!
So, if you're only in Georgia for two years, does that mean Utah is your next stop???? I keep remaining hopeful because I MISS you! I saw you were here and I too (like Lisa) was sad that I missed you! Your kids are so cute and I love the picture of Andrew on the roller coaster - what joy! Annie
These pictures are AWESOME! Especially the merry-go-round. Those are SO hard to get pictures of. Your kids are practically grown ups--I can't believe how big Abby is!
Looks like such a fun day!
love your pix! was this the carnival at odenton? mj wants me to say that abby looks so pretty in her picture. we wish you don't have to leave so soon. we will miss you tons when you'll be in georgia.
Awesome pics! I just love your kids and they all look so adorable in their pictures. I am so sad that you are leaving... I think I just need to bug you until you go. Seriously, you are going to be sick of me. You will wish you didn't live across the street =)
I wish we could have made it! We definitely need to get together, it's sad to see everybody going. And can I add... DON"T BUY A HOUSE! :) No, we love it, but sellilng right away is not worth it. BUT, if you can hang on to it and rent it... that's another story!
Awesome!! I served for 6 weeks in Hephzibah. The military base was in my area. Are you going to live on or off base? I loved that area it's so pretty. It does get crowded in June when the golfers all come to town. But it's still a really pretty area and I really enjoyed it. Hot and Humid though. They do have a really fun Science museum that's really hands on that youf kids will enjoy. We did our service there. Anyway, I could go on and on. You'll enjoy it there.
I wish we could have been there too, we miss you guys! When are you coming to CO or UT? I will be in UT for a month, so maybe you should take a trip!!!
I love the picture with Andrew and Perry with Perry's knees sticking out. I guess that's what you get for growing up.
Sarah, I love the pictures! Your kids look adorable. Good luck with the move!
Sarah, wow I am what the 19th person to comment? You guys must be well loved. I am a suckor for those carnivals. I think I remember one that was on Fort Meade and we saw you guys there before we really knew each other. You must like them too. Are you READY? Minus the checklist of things to do for a move you have got to be excited that July is NEXT MONTH! I am sure it is bitter sweet as you know your days of being a single mom are also drawing near. Wow, looks like you are trying to soak up all the fun you can before the move. Good luck!!
Those are great pictures... were they taken with the Rebel? I am jealous... I want a new camera. Looks like you guys had a great weekend. I am sure the BBQ was good, you guys make the BEST burgers. Abby's hair is getting so long.
I would answer Lisa on her blog... if I was invited to it. Hint, hint.
Your kids look so cute. Abby's hair is so long. She looks so much older. I want your camera, your picturews look profesh!
how fun! I had to show Ainsley the pictures because she misses her friends.
I'm glad you guys have backed off the idea of buying a house. It's such a bad time unless you will be somewhere for years.
Good luck with the move. I heard you've already been released. Lucky you!
