Time or Temperature?

This picture represents a game we played several times this week... time or temperature?

We had quite the week, with a visit from Tim and Sara and Raf and I traveling to Atlantic City and Raleigh respectfully. 

Tim says "Well, you see, frogs came from an aboriginee place... it's science." Both Meases claim that they are not beach people, so we only spent one hot day there.  You know, for a guy named "Glasses", Raf sure did look silly when he lost his:

We enjoyed some adult beverages at our new favorite beach front watering hole... The Tap House.

We also enjoyed a great Lazy Thursday. Even Maddy got in on it:

It was a great visit overall. The day the Meases left, Raf and I headed out of state for our own trips. While the boys were doing this...

... Haylie and I were in the car on the way to Raleigh with these.

Haylie's brother was hosting a corn hole tournament so we decided to try our hand at a big league game. We got there a bit early so he could set up and watched a guy edit the menu board after many mispellings:

Here's the boss himself:

And the complimentary bucket of beer:

We also had a minor celebrity sighting... Gary from Teen Mom (or maybe not, but close enough). Excuse the hazy paparazzi photos. We were trying not to get sued or beat up.

Here's the arena. Haylie and I got 3rd place out of 16 teams, by the way... despite the cheater face.

Here are the rules that only SOME chose to follow...

And some of Haylie's adoring fans. most of whom were named Drew apparently:

This would be Haylie's perspective of the bonfire we went to afterward...

After an eventful weekend, no arrests were made and everyone returned home unharmed. Raf and I have been enjoying the last few days of summer vacation before school starts up again by getting things done around the house (photos coming soon... maybe tomorrow?) and relaxing. Tonight we watched the girls while Karen and her anonymous husband went to Elizabeth Psimas' kickoff mayoral campaign debut party. We are clearly not ready for children, as this is how Brynn ended up within the first hour:

Lots of Goings-on

The last few weeks have been craaaaazy!

Since my last post I/we:

1. Finished summer school
2. Moved
3. Had Kip, my mom and Greg, and Elizabeth here to visit
4. Had a bridal shower
5. Watched Camryn turn 1 (live and in person)

Let's take a look.

I'll post legit pictures of the new place soon, but take a look at our (temporarily) waterfront new digs. There was a huge storm the first day we could get into the house and the whole street was flooded. More shots:

The place is dry again and we spent the rest of the week basking in the goodness of our friends and family as they helped us move and unpack. It was as painless as possible and we look pretty much like we've lived here for years by now.

After several days away, we finally had the chance to go back to the beach. Dayna and Elizabeth were in town so it was an extra special super fun time. (Although Liz is mysteriously absent from these pictures for whatever reason.)

Looks like Brynn enjoyed herself more than Uncle...

Don't be fooled by the blur out... this is not Mr. Psimas. My camera got wet. Some better ones:

The fun continued later at the Psimas household during a rousing Game of Things. Raf got to be one of the gals for the night. He took this role a little TOO seriously!

Some of our answers (Besides Things You Would Never Find in the Dictionary... bookmarks or Things You Would Never Play Catch With... a man with no hands):

Karen and Elizabeth deep in thought... Dayna deep in mixing:

The next day was the big par-tay. Karen hosted a couples' wedding shower fiesta at their place and it was aaaaaaaaaaaawesome. I didn't have a chance to take a single picture so these are borrowed from Karen:

Me and Raf:

Our sombreros were sweeeet. So was the decor:

Some of the decor was quite entertaining. Featured below are Aunts Patty and Barbara and Kevin's parents, Janet and Bill:

The guests (male and female):

Next, the entertainment. In addition to "straight up Mexican AM radio", we also enjoyed the featured entertainment, which was corn hole. (Haylie and I needed practice before we go pro in Raleigh this weekend and before the big wedding tournament.)

Proof that it was a good time. Late night:

The next day, Superwoman Psmis hosted a second party. This one was for her youngest daughter, Camryn and was the best beach party I've ever been to! These photos are also courtesy of Karen:

The birthday girl:

Big Sis Brynn and cousin Brayden, my future niece and nephew. (Could these kids BE any cuter??)

Grownup guests:

I wish I could upload more but I can't figure out how to get pictures from Shutterfly. 

After a crazy busy (but sincerely awesome) weekend, we spent the morning at Ocean Breeze and now Tim and Sara are coming for the week. Next weekend is Raleigh. Good times ahead.
