July - Bday Party

We had the kids bday party, a luau and it was a windy day, as usual where we live! Our canopy actually blew over during our vacation, so this is the last shot of it you will see....so sad! We played different games like: pin the coconut on the palmtree, volcano beanbag toss, hula hoop contest, lucky duckies and waterballoon toss.

The volcano beach cake I made and cupcakes, that cake was a pain!

All three kiddos

July - 4th

We drove around town looking for the right spot to park but everywhere was crowded. We ended up pulling into this little parking lot for a strip mall and it ended up having a perfect view!!!! The kids loved it and oohed and aaahed the whole time and talked about it all the way home.

July - They think they're so funny

The original picture, I'm on the left:

Madisons impression

The kids found a picture of me when I was younger and thought it was hilarious and a great idea to poke fun and immitate me. Nicky looks like he hasn't been washed in a year, but it was spaghetti night and this was mid dinner when this took place, don't mind the mess. I'm pretty sure I was making the pose while trying to scratch my back, my mom must have caught me at the wrong time. Anyways, the kids laugh about it all the time and always imitate it.

June - Fishing

We went down to our local little pond in town to try out fishing. Yes Nicky looks like a cancer patient, don't worry, he's not, just a really bad haircut! Maddie caught a crawfish, thats all we caught! We heard there were fish in there, but we saw no one catch any and we sure didn't. It was still entertaining though, the weather was nice and it was relaxing. We also had a picnic while we were there. The last shot is an action shot and it cracks me up, maddie wanted me to take a picture of her jumping, it looks so funny!

June - Dress up!

This picture cracks me up, it looks like Nicky is winking! Maddie had fun dressing her little brother up and we'll always have blackmail on him for later! Toby would kill me though if he knew I posted this, lets keep this secret :)

June - Bday and Fathers day!

Midddle June weekend was my bday and of course Fathers day, its no surprise I had to share my bday again! I should just get used to it, guess I'll always have to share it! ;)

We went to see the Incredible Hulk, and we made a cake for Toby. It was chocolate with vanilla icing...his favorite! It was even better tasting than how it looked! I got a bluetooth which I needed since the new law went into affect a few weeks later and had some yummo cake that he bought! It was a good weekend. I love this picture of the kids, especially nicky, he looks like such a hambone!

June - Grandma Tricia visits

I've been seriously slacking on this blog. Going to try and update since I've last posted.

Grandma came to visit in June, it was a good time for all! We flew kites, ate yummy food, played games and have lots of fun!
