We didn't take too many pictures but these were the best. Most are of our beautiful daughter. Feel so lucky that she's ours! She had so much fun shaking her booty with Nonna Donna.



Matt bought this bubble gun the other day and we brought it with us to the concert in the park and we thought Allie and Will would have fun. What we didn't expect was for all the neighborhood kids to swarm him like bees.

"Hello Dada! I can't tell you how much fun I am having here at the park. I even got to eat some of cousin Nathan's snow cone. Let's come again next week!"

We had family over for my b-day and it was a lot of fun. Especially being able to have everyone comfortably in our place. We will hopefully post pictures of our place soon but for now you can see little glimpses.

Here is my brother doing my dishes which just had to be photographed. :) Thanks Shawn!

Family :)

Today the weather was finally nice enough to do something fun outside, preferably in the water so we had a play date with our friends Kayla and Jillian at the Happy Valley splash pad. The weather was perfect, just right only about 75 with a little wind. The kids happily played for a while, Allie didn't really want to play with the shooting water but loved to play in the dirty puddles around it. I know we will be doing the a ton this summer. Come join us!

We spent most of our fourth in Happy Valley with my sister and her family so we got to start the day off with some sliding in their backyard!




We then headed to the park because they do a big celebration with food vendors (ate way too many sweets) and bouncy houses for the kids. Allie is still a bit to small for all that but she had fun anyways. I think this picture is so funny. They are making identical faces.


We then barbecued and hung out letting the kids do some fireworks.




and then (I think this is so awesome) the neighborhood does a kid parade. Allie had fun waving at all the people. She was so cute doing her princess wave. Then Happy Valley does a big fireworks show but we got Allie home and in bed before that. We had a fun day!

The other day while in the bedroom Allie came in and shut the door. She then turned to me, put her hands on either side of her face and said "Oh Dear".
That night we put her to bed and she sat in there and cried over and over "Oh Dear!!!"

While at the mall with Nonna she saw a Thomas the Train book and said "Oh my gosh!"

While getting ready to leave she said "Let's go baby"

and once again I try to get her to say Yes Mama while trying to obey and she started saying "Yes Baby".
