Our Annual Edisto trip

Yey! Hudson joined our biking fun. He rode his bike, and even though he had to pedal 3 times to every one of our pedals he rode like a champ!

Building a sand fort

Dan and Sam were tempting the crabs with some hot dogs.

Edisto is our "Happy Place".

An early evening swim

The boys caught four minnows in the pond.

Hudson loves his Sam.

The Boogie Boards were a big hit at the beach.

Beginning of Summer Update

A lot has happened in the last few months, let's get to the pictures............

Baseball season ended, Sam had a great time and Hudson is ready for next year.

The boys had their birthday party together at Kickin' Kids Karate studio.

To start summer off right, we went camping at Hunting Island State Park near Beaufort. Our campsite was 96 steps to the beach. We played on the beach, walked to the top of the Hunting Island Lighthouse, and walked on the marsh boardwalk.

This is our campsite. Behind the campers is the beach.

Getting ready for the long walk up.

We could see our campsite from the top (it was in the cove).

Out in the marsh


We watched someone catch this blue crab in the marsh.

This is "Fire" (named by Hudson). He ate our hotdogs, can you see them in his greedy little paws?

T Ball

Sam had his first T-Ball game today! He plays 1st Base and bats 3rd for the Cardinals.

Oops, I uploaded the wrong picture.

Here he is:

His first Official At-Bat:

His first Run Scored:

He loved every minute of it!

Tubing in North Carolina

We hit the sledding slopes at Wolf Laurel yesterday, it was a blast!

We had a ton of snow last night---almost 3 whole inches!!!!!!!!! School was cancelled and the boys had a great day.

Merry Christmas To All!

Christmas, New Years, and Basketball

We had a great Christmas visit from Grandpa, Grandma and Uncle Gregory from Kentucky

Game Time

Christmas was extended by 2 days when we all went to Greenville on the 27th. The boys are checking to see if Grandpa's beard is real.

Getting ready to apply some "D"

We had a fantastic time over the Thanksgiving break. Uncle Mike and Laurie made the trip from Denver to spend time with all of us. It was great getting to know Laurie but we never figured out how Mike could land such a wonderful lady. It could have something to do with his new-found romantic side.

They boys were showing off for both of them so it was a wild few days but a lot of fun. Hope to see you both soon! Here are the Dupler Boys crashing after another round of Thanksgiving leftovers Sam's class had a "Dress Up As A Book Character" day. He is the Spaceman.
