The Neal RV Extravaganza!!

 Well - I am currently packing up the RV for our trip up the east coast! Rick invited me to Google's Latitude and I thought it would be a fun way to track our progress (for any of those interested).

Check out http://www.google.com/latitude and find us under my email: smaneal [at] gmail.com

I will also do my best to update the blog. Bryan has a great trip planned out and I am really excited to see new sights -- my Flip & all of my memory cards are empty, ready to go!

 We rented an RV from Ft. Stewart's MWR (Moral, Welfare & Recreation) program. One of the perks of being active duty - cool things we can rent cheaper than anywhere else!

So we're taking advantage of the opportunity and checking out the coast on our way to Sandy Hook, NJ to see Bryan's family.

We leave tomorrow, bright and early, for our first stop - Ocracoke, North Carolina.

Wish us luck and pray for good weather!

Happy Father's Day

To Jack's Daddy. Parenting is a never-ending lesson. Lesson #345, white is never a good choice in clothing.

And of course, to my daddy, too! Sorry no picture. Trying to recover hard drive. :(

Wah.

Art of Expression

Outdoor Photographer is hosting a photo contest, The Art of Expression. Alyson & Melissa - you need to enter. While in Missouri, Alyson and I snapped a few shots of our cousin's cattle ranch (which was amazing). I decided to enter one of them as the theme's seemed fitting: One World in Focus and All About Light.

You can find the image at:  http://bit.ly/lcHrZi and http://bit.ly/kO9JcU

If you don't mind making an account, please rate it. They have awards for those, too. :)

Now, I'm off to find more photographs to submit. Entries are due July 15 ... so maybe I'll be able to get some awesome shots on our RV trip! And Boni - I'll upload the rest of the weekend's pictures today. :)

Jack in Missouri

Arriving in a gypsy wagon after a long day of traveling.

Crashed out on Mama's shoulder through an entire lunch at White Grill - best 'cheesieburgas' ever and Jack missed out.

Stylin' and Profilin'

Quiet plane ride to Atlanta with Monkey & sweet hair.

Congratulations Chauncy & Tracy!

Beautiful ceremony on their ranch! & Taylor, Chauncy's daughter was Matron of Honor - precious.

(When Jack saw Chauncy, his eyes got big and in astonishment he said, "Yee-Haw!")

One Big Happy Family

And on either side are even more family members! It's been years since we all were lucky enough to ALL spend an entire weekend with each other! My cousin, Chauncy, married his sweetheart, Tracy, this past weekend in Missouri. My cousin, Martina, from Germany was even able to make the trip! We soaked in the county life and made awesome memories with family and new friends.

Gracen's Brandon at work.

This morning on the way to work Jack asked,

"Where did Issy go?"
"Lissy is in Minnesota."
"Where did Nathalia go?"
"Nathalia is in Florida with Uncle Sean."
"Where did Tuck go?"
"Chuck is in Minnesota."
"Where did Boney go?"
"Boni is in Missouri, Jack."
"Where did Gracen go?"
"Gracen went back to Michigan."
"Gracen's Brandon at work."

Haircut Time

Time to trim Goldie's Locks for Tracy & Chauncy's wedding!!!

I told you so!!!

I wasn't lying when I told you we've been watering the garden(s)!!! Look at those lemons!!

BFF & Eva!

Swimmin' Babies is Back! Our Sunday routine of going to the park with Jack's friends has returned to the pool because it's too blimey hot outside!!! They love it! Jack must remember his 'walking feet' however.

Jack sang to me the other day: "Jack and Mama sitting in a tree .... mumble mumble- i-n-g!"
