What are we doing in North Carolina?

For everyone who has been wondering what we have been up to, here is a little update. My opinion of this area hasn't changed much and I seriously need to work on that foot in mouth disease I have. Honestly this place is...hummmmm howwww should IIIya put it??? just a little bit sssssslllllllllllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww!!!! And yes it is starting to show up in the childrens speach. GRRRRR hahaha. Nah it init so bayidd! We have had some good times. For example check out this grin!!!

We had such a great time at the fair in Kinston, NC. The weather was beautiful and the rides were very fun. Our favorite part was being able to see the 'Steppin Stones' performance. Unfortunately my camera wasn't charged so we didn't get any pics of the little Hallenbergers this time. They did such a great job of singing and dancing! Stacey kept telling me she wanted to run up there and join them. Which I am sure would have been hilarious and disaterous at the same time. The girls have had some great times playing with their cousins. I have enjoyed spending time with Michael's family as well. It was really great to make poodle skirts for Amber, Brittney, and Melody. They looked so cute in their costumes singing the oldies.

The girls have also been enjoying their ballet classes. Valerie has been standing in the different positions at home not noticing she is doing it. Stacey lives for Tuesdays! She gets so excited each week and when it finally gets here she wants to "get ready" all day long. I really wish her class was earlier in the day so I wouldn't have to keep telling her it isn't time to get ready yet.
And check out this little fish...I could barely get her out of the waterwings in Boise. Within a week of being here she was swimming like a pro.
Now if she will just let go of her nose. =)

We are looking forward to Halloween! The neighbors have told us that our neighborhood gets a bit crazy. Yay!! Something I can relate to. We have already started working on our costumes. Stacey wants to be a fairy, Valerie has decided on Esmerelda the gypsy, I am atempting pirate costumes for Kevin and myself. I found some fun decorations and I am going to try to make some tombstones to put in the yard. It should be a lot of fun.

I am going to try to keep this updated and current. We are missing our family and friends at home so leave us comments once in a while it makes us feel loved.
