Church, hiking and and exploring!

These are a little out of order, but the first one is where we went to church this morning. I can't wait to take another picture and show you the tiny little church-house we visited. It was a great morning of worship.

We went hiking this afternoon and found tons of great picture spots!

Oh, but before we hiked we rode on a zipline!! It was great fun and you can see where we started from...

 Back to our hike...

 This was a little town we found coming home from our hike. Look at that bridge that leads to their grammar school...

Oh look, back to our hiking trail...

And now back to that quaint little town. Not sure why these are a out of order, but it was a fun day. I love this picture of the church in this little town with the flag in front...

A Day at UNH!

Today, we drove down HWY 16 and enjoyed some beautiful scenery on our way to UNH! We had a great time visiting Brooks' old stomping grounds! We got to see the football field and then we walked all over campus! Campus is beautiful and full of wooded trails between between buildings...gorgeous! Here are some fun pictures of our day........

 This is out front of Thompson Hall - the university staple building! Isn't this so cool?

 What a great visit to UNH!

 This one is for the kids!!!

Samantha on one of the many little trails between buildings. This was right after leaving the dorms and heading toward Thompson Hall. It's really peaceful!

We really enjoyed our day at the University of New Hampshire and are so glad we took the time to drive down and visit! Well worth our time!



HAPPY 3rd BIRTHDAY, COOPER!!!

We love you, Cooper!!

Happy birthday to the little man who made our family complete! You are a little spit-fire who keeps us on our toes. You are so full of energy and excitement! You love life to the fullest and have such a sweet spirit, too!!! You love to cook with Daddy (I just watched him pour powdered sugar in your hand to taste)! You love to play Thomas the Train and Lightening McQueen is your snuggle buddy!!!

Cooper, we love your every detail and are beyond thankful that God trusted us to be your Mommy and Daddy - to be your family!! We can't wait to see what this next year has in store for you!

June 2012!!!

Here's a bit of June!!! First just being our beautiful, Rachel!

 Eric playing his second year of t-ball!! He's a stud out there!

 Coops...the best fan, ever!!!

 And, Coops getting his swim on...

 

 Rachel in her first year of machine pitch softball. She was SO great...and we were so proud of how quickly she caught on and became a great, consistant lead-off hitter!

 Of course, Safety Town!! Eric is our newest ST grad!!

 Rachel at a BHS (back hand spring) clinic. By the end of the day she was doing bhs's solo!!! Quite impressive!!!!

 Father's Day, 2012!!! The McMullan Men!

 Daddy and his crew!

 Ahhhhh...he's clean!! For a few minutes, anyway!

Mommy - Son Dance!

I had the pleasure of being escorted by the most handsome little man to a dance at church last month!! Oh man, did we have a great time! Little boys are SOOOOOO different from little girls. They don't have the same "need" to dance and be close to their mommy, like girls do to their daddy! Instead, these boys had a great time running around playing with the balloons!! It was a precious time...

 

 

Spring Stuff - 2012

Rachel started her first season of machine-pitch softball! She's REALLY good!! We were a bit surprised how quickly she went from tball to machine pitch. She is one of the smallest on the team, but also on of the most consistent hitters on the team and we couldn't be more proud of our little Punky!!

 

 We had our end of the year gymnastics recital last week. It's amazing how much these two have improved this year! Rachel really has a knack for gymnastics. Already doing back walk overs and one handed cartwheels!

 

Someone REALLY liked getting a medal! 

 

Mother's Day - 2012

I spent the morning, sleeping in while Daddy and the kids made me a yummy breakfast of chocolate dipped strawberries and scrambled eggs!! Such a lucky lady!!

After church, we tooks some fun pictures of the kids with Mommy and Nana!

 

 

 

 

Brooks and Me!! And below, Papa and Nana! 

 Back at home, with the sun in our eyes...pretty kids!

 One more of me and Brooks, just cause I love him...the week before Mother's Day we celebrated 11 years of being together. Our first date was May 4, 2001!!
