Here are a few pics from the 4th of July this year (I know i'm starting to sound like a broken record here, but my camera has been broken, so someone just shared them with us now!)
4 Generations of Gearharts:
The Gearhart Fam:
Unfortunately, Derek's grandpa passed away in mid August, so we all gathered in West Middlesex, PA. Here are a few family pics from the luncheon following the services.
The Gearhart fam:
Grandma with all the grandkids and GREATgrandchild- Brayden!
Then Brayden and I travelled with my parents down to South Carolina for Cole's graduation from Marine bootcamp!! After a 12 hour trip, we finally made it! While hurricane/tropical storm Hannah forced graduation to be moved up a day and attempted to "rain on our parade," we enjoyed our time in Beaufort, S.C.
Cole has grown in ways we can't explain, but the old brodda is still there! After 10 days leave, he will be headed down to "Camp Gieger" at Camp Lejune in North Carolina for a few more months of infantry training.
Immediately following graduation ceremony- Cole was INTENSE...
Here's the Coleby we all know and love!!
Proud parents at the monument: (you'd never know Hannah was going to show her fury in a few hours!!)
After a quick stop in gorgeous Charleston, S.C., the entire Miller clan travelled north to Holden Beach, N.C. We had an amazing beach front home where lots of new memories were made... Braydens first steps on the sand and in the ocean, lots of drunken wii playing, good FOOD, and quality time with the whole gang again.
First time at the ocean!
Minutes later, a large wave would roll upon the shore threatening my baby AND that wonderful glass of wine, BUT HAVE NO FEAR! I saved them BOTH! ;)
THEN, after hanging with the Millers, we headed farther north to the Outer Banks for a few more beach days with the Gearharts!

Playin in the water!
After some ice cream!!
Thats all for now, but check back soon for graduation pics and more beach pics!
