MY DAY OFF!

Was spent at the Biltmore House  with my wonderful friend Tiffany!

After touring the BEAUTIFUL house.  We took a stroll through all of the Gardens.

  

After lunch, we spent the rest of our time in Antler Hill Village .  Slowly, we took are time going through all of the shops, took a tour through the winery that ended with  Mrs. Vanderbilt's 1913 Stevens-Duryea Model C-Six., from there we headed over to the Farm

and then the Creamery! Where we sat and ate our bowls of ice cream and sorbet...and TALKED!  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful friend to spend the day with...a GREAT husband for coming up with the idea..and a mother-in-law who happily watched the boys - while I was away.

Hard to believe that my baby is getting so big

All about the color RED!

Today we bought Ian his first preschool book!  He was so excited!

The first page of the workbook was all about the color red. So I got out his RED shoes, a RED apple, RED hat and a RED fire truck!

After he colored the page red..I asked Ian to go find me something that was red..this is what he picked out

and with that he was off running through the house pointing out everything that he could find that was RED!

New hats from grandma

A morning at the park!

Our Saturday morning!

 Climbing high in the trees with help from Daddy!

Not to be out done by his brother..Levi wanted up in a tree too!

In the Rose Garden trying to sit the same way as Daddy

Ian & Matt feeding the swan and turtles....

 it didn't take long for the ducks to find us

and within minutes the three loaves of bread that we brought were GONE!

A few pictures from this past week!

Enjoying ice cream sandwiches on a hot day!

One of my new favorite books!  Matt and the boys got it for me for my birthday!

Watching X Games with daddy.  The first event that was on was dirt bike racing and Ian ran back to his room to get his dirt bike! 

Matt has been working so hard on the house - but now that most of it is done - the boys were just happy to spend some time sitting and laying beside him!

This is so cute - They try to give each other kisses through the chair rails! LAUGHING THE WHOLE TIME!

Building a tower. They kept knocking it over before I could add more to it!

Brothers hanging out together!
