Ahh, how cute?

Jason and me ....date night while kids had a sleepover (thanks Diana!) and a wedding we were at over the weekend (Congrats! Mr. and Mrs. Walker)

No more cast!

WooHoo! Aiden finally got his cast off. At first when the nurse was cutting it off he was laughing because it tickled. Then, when it was all the way off, he thought he was going to move his arm the way he always did....Wrong! His arm was very stiff and it actually hurt to move. He nursed it throughout the next couple of days and slowly but surely he was able to move it around. Thank goodness Aunt Erica is in physical therapy....her expertise while babysitting have helped tremendously. Thanks Erica!!!! I have pictures on my phone, so once I figure out how to send them, I'll upload.

Camping

Parker got a tent for his birthday from his NiNi and Papa. They thought it was time Parker and Aiden camp out. Well they were right. Jason decided that he and the kids were going to camp out. The boys helped us set up the tent, we called the cousins to come over to spend the night, we ate hotdogs and roasted marshmallows over the fire. The kids caught fireflies and played flashlight tag. At the end of the night and after all the sleeping arrangements were set, Jason told a SCARY story about a bear who escaped for the zoo and traveled here to Austintown and turns people into zombies....and although the kids were scared for a half a second....either by the scary stories or just Uncle B sneaking up on them and screaming.....they all...including Jason....slept in the tent ALL NIGHT!!!! I can't believe it! They all made it through the night.

Good Times!

Ok, I was trying to edit the picture you see on here and I lost it. Tried to upload another and I can't figure it out. BUT!!!! We had a great time at the Crayola Factory. Diana and I took the boys to Easton, PA about 5 and half hours away. The boys enjoyed all the crafts and seeing Spongebob. Most of all, however, they loved the pool at the hotel. Aiden was able to actually see real live penguinis at the LeHigh Valley Zoo. Stay turned for our next adventure....maybe LegoLand in Chicago!

Tricks' summer cut

Since Tricks was getting overrun with mats we decided to bring back the summer cut.. Of course he would never sit for anyone to shave him, so we had the Niles vet do it. He was a bit groggy upon his return, but he made it through just fine. Doesn't he look old? Poor Tricksy-cat!

Parker's Birthday Parties...family and friends

Parker's birthday party was a huge success. He had his friends over from 12-3. Thanks to Aunt Karri and Uncle Jamie and their HUGE blow up water slide the kids had a great time. You can tell that the big Pokemon pillow was one of his favorite presents. Parker really wanted to have a pinata, so Jason found the best monkey. However, Parker was the 1st kid to give it a good wack and he whipped that head right off its body. Very funny and the kids went crazy.

Later in the day, our family came over to end the day with Parker. We cooked out, opened presents and ate cake. A typical and relaxing evening and the family got to really enjoy him on his birthday. He got a skate board, some games, a tent...woohoo...and a membership to Club Penguin. He was delighted and overall had a wonderful day.

Thanks to all who made Parker's day the most enjoyable one ever!

King Aiden

Aiden decided he was going to be king for the day. Actually, he has been trying to be king for quite some time. He just likes to boss people around...like his mother I guess. He found parker's birthday hat from school and put his ratty old blankey around himself. He demanded (because he was the king of course) that I take his picture to share with you. King Aiden....What will my future hold with him. Head of a company I hope.

Last T-ball Game of the season

Parker and Aiden had their last tBall game of the season. It was a very nice game even though the team didn't play so hot. The president of the league announced their names as they batted and again during the trophy ceremony. The kids were delighted and everyone got a game ball. Sweet! We can look forward to a nice, relaxing summer and fall ball come September. Coach Mike was a great coach and the boys learned a lot from him. Parker is definitely ready to move up. thanks for a great season. :)

Parker's Birthday

Parker turned 7 on June 29th. Since we just got back from vacation we are having a party for him next weekend. On his birthday, however, his Grandma Ginny sent him balloons with candy. He was very excited to recieve that. (Thank you, Ginny!) We baked a cake together, made pepperoni rolls...his favorite, and gave him a small gift. He had a wonderful day. It's hard to believe he's already 7...soon I'll be saying it's hard to believe he's 17! Yikes!
