My little Love Bug

I love this picture my friend Michelle took at Mary's birthday play date. Teresa is my little picture ham. She was being such a doll giving me love and loving the camera. How I love her so.

Mary's Birthday Play Date

For Mary's birthday, with her friends, we had a small play date at our house. The kids had a blast.

Here are Teresa and Santino in the sand box.

Keane is helping Mary open her present.

Here Mary is sharing all her new Barbie things with her girlfriends Gabriella and Milani.

She was having so much fun playing with Keane and Gabriella.

CUPCAKE TIME!!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Brooke was happy to have her cupcake!

So was Keane!

And Santino!

And, of course, Teresa!!

Syrah was the best kitty. He let those kids pick on him, drag him around, and pet him all afternoon.

The pool was super fun on a nice hot day.

A fun fun day with friends to celebrate Mary's birthday!!

Turning 5 with Chuck E Cheese

Last Thursday we met my aunt JoAnn and Uncle Glenn at Chuck E Cheese to celebrate Mary turning 5. Last year we did this and the kids didn't really get it, since we had never taken her before that. Well, let me tell ya, they REALLY got it this time. We got them to eat their pizza and then they were off spending tokens! So much fun.

Aunt JoAnn is the best shopper and picked out some really cute dress' for Mary. Mary is quite the dress girl lately. Thank you Aunt JoAnn

Father's Day 2011

This year was a mellow Father's Day. We spent the day at Kevin's sister's house with his family. My parents were in Laughlin baskin in the sun on the lake. That evening we just chilled at home in the sun in the backyard while the kids played in the pool. Nice and relaxing.

play date fun

The other day we had a fun play date with friends. Summer is here and the mommies are already starting to go stir crazy w/out school to drop them off at. So, we try to get together once a week to let them all play together.

June Gloom Beach Day

My aunt and cousin are in town from Indiana. No matter what the weather was going to be, we were headed to the beach. It was a gloomy day. The sun finally started to peak out of the clouds about 4:30, just in time for the fog to start rolling in and go to dinner. Oh well!

The kids had a blast in the water no matter how cold it was.

Cousin Kathy talking on the phone to back on while standing on the beach in California.

Teresa was having so much fun. She kept making daddy go get more 'ocean water'.

Digging to China

Daddy buried the girls.

Oh so cozy in the damp sand. We had sand in every crevice in the bodies.






Fun Fun day at the beach with family.

Preschool Graduation

Mary has graduated from preschool. Here she is getting her diploma from Miss Lucy.

The kids put on a really cute singing show for us.

After the program they got juice and cake.
