Our Friends Abbey & Cy that we met in Cancun 5 years ago. We see them about once a year and the just happened to be in Little River While we were in Surfside....So we met up for some drinks and catching up! They are a hoot!
We were fortunate to get to spend a whole week at the beach with my mom and dad to celebrate their 42nd wedding anniversay (Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad!). We rented a house in Surfside Beach @ Ocean Lakes. Normally mom & dad pull their camper down for the summer but with gas prices @ $4 a gallon it was less expensive just to carpool and rent a house. The house was a cute little place with 2 bd/2 bath and it came with a golf cart so we got to cruise around all week. Ocean Lakes is HUGE!! A great place for kids and people watching in general! Everything you need is right within: restaurant, store, putt-putt, gameroom, a huge pool, and even laundry facilities if you are so inclined! Their is even a beach bar within walking distance!! SWEET! Little did we know when making the reservation that we were going to be there for the end of "Bike Week" and most of "Black Bike Week". Let's just say the people watching was "very interesting". Apparentley you can be a size 20 and still wear..........enough said! :-)
One day we went deep sea fishing; the first time for mom and me. As you can tell from mom's picture above she had a fabulous time! Ha! She didn't even put a pole in the water!! But Joel, dad, and I caught several sea bass. It was fun. We ate at some great restaurants, got a lot of sun, and even visited "Brookgreen Gardens" it was very interesting....even if we were the only people there under the age of 70! It was a great trip and we made a lot of valuable memories.. Love you mom and dad.
Joel and I celebrated our 9th wedding anniversary on October 22. Work was crazy so we could only "escape" for one night. We went to Pigeon Forge and rented a very cozy cabin with a hot tub and pool table and had a great time. It was a good getaway to reconnect with my true love! 
We just got back from our annual camp out at Crescent Group Camp at Lake Hartwell. The weather was great! I couldn't find the battery to my camera til Sunday so I only got a few pictures. (I'm a dork what can I say??) We floated and drank......Thanks Nancy, you hurt me!! At least I got plenty of sleep right? Owww, my HEAD HURTS!! Oh, I almost forgot about getting attacked by fire ants!!! Damn ants!
This is Ed, Abbey, and Misty as they finish off there "hot" encore of the dance routine that Abbey and Misty choreographed. We were so relieved that Ed didn't fall while dancing on the tables.......
turned the BIG 40. She had all these crazy hats and LOTS of silly string and lollipops that the kids all loved.
Travis came over and we grilled out and had some drinks. He is doing great and a happy guy. I think he is in love.....To be continued!
July 1st was Emma and Lewis' Birthday. Emma turned 3 and Lewis turned 50! (just kidding) Emma was LOVING all the presents! Lewis had some family come up from texa for the Big Birthday Bash! It was nice to meet them all. 
This is Lewis, his dad, and his Grandmother (from Texas)
Our little Drew turned one last Saturday! I don't think he knew what to think of all the people watching him get cake all over himself! He is such a big boy! We love you Drew, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Sam, Pam, Walt, & Deb Threw one heck of a July 4th Party! I must say it was bigger than any party Joel EVER threw @ 1010 Old Hemlock Court! (Right Lousie??)
Happy Birthday Garrett!!
Sunday we had a very special visit from a friend of Joel's from High School. Actually, it was Joel's girlfriend from High School, Donna. She and her family now live in Upstate New York and get to Hendersonville about once a year to visit Donna's mom, Rhoda. They were able to squeeze in a visit during their short time here thank goodness. It's been a while since we have seen them; I cannot believe how much their boys have grown!!! It was great to see them and catch up!!!
Last week mom & dad hosted a cook-out for the Huggins clan. We had a nice evening catching up and remembering the old times! My brothers, Mike and Greg, I had to make them take a picture with me!! MEN!!!
