Alex's 3rd Birthday Party

Alex turned three on Friday the 13th. I cannot believe how fast the past three years have flown by. He is such a joy in our lives and makes everyday interesting. As you can see from the pictures, he was surrounded by friends and family on his birthday and everyone had a great time. I did flip out though... Right as the guests were arriving the electricity went off and then there was a massive down pour, so for a little over and hour, I was stressing about how I was going to serve my hot dog buffett, when lo and behold, it randomly came back on - thank goodness! These are a couple of my favorites, I am going to add a slide show of more, when I have a little more time!

Sporting their swimsuits...

Summer Fun

The boys actually hate being outside in the heat, but they do like the sprinkler. Here are some pictures of them playing in the water and looking like little drowned rats afterwards.

Play Group

From top to bottom, left to right: Alex, Mackenzie, Evan, Tucker, Katie, Aubrey, Will, Lily, Caroline & Isabella. Not pictured Jack, the oldest!


Evan and his girls - Katie and Aubrey


Alex & Mackenzie in a serious conversation...

We had a bunch of little rugrats over for a play group - all organized by Kylie, since she was in town visiting. We had a great time - the kids are growing up so fast and I can't believe there are so many of them.

4th of July with the Pusateris

We went over to a friends house for the 4th of July and played with the Pusateri kids. Liliana didn't make the picture just yet. I love their expressions in these pictures!

Father's Day Weekend

We finally went down to Somerset, all excited to get out on the lake and of course it rained :( We went up to Papaw Jack's and swam in his pool instead. The boys had a good time walking around his pond and being out in the country.

New Toy: The Sandbox

I will say, this has to be the worst idea I have ever had - it is a huge mess, but they love it.

Cousins!

Alex and Evan love their cousins Lilly & Diana - they are sooooo cute!

More pictures from Indy trip...

Not sure what they were looking at, but it wasn't the camera...


Messy eater (he loves beans)!

Cheesing with Uncle Matt!

Being good at church before the baptism.

QT with Cioci Becca.

Lilly & Diana's Baptism

What a fun weekend we had in Indianapolis with the family! The girls are little angels and we were happy we were able to be there to witness the very special occasion!

Memorial Day Weekend - Coney Island

We went to Coney Island over Memorial Day weekend with the Reckman's. It was the boys first time in a pool since Aruba. Alex loves it and has no fear.

First Haircut for Evan

Before picture (Alex looks much better now too!)

Evan took a little longer to reach mullet status than Alex did, so we are just now needing a real haircut. Of course Mary, the sitter cut it at like 9 months... He did great! Alex went first and then he hopped right up on the pony chair and didn't cry at all! He said "ouch" whenever she sprayed water on him or used the blow dryer. Such a drama queen!

Get Well Evan!

These balloons are from Cioci Mary Beth. You all probably have heard - I am a bad mom and turned away for a mili-second and Evan burned his hands on my flatiron :( He will be fine, but there are a couple pretty nasty blisters. Thank you Mary Beth for thinking of him! They are still eating the suckers that came with the delivery!

Zoo with Daddy

This was Tim's first time to the zoo this season! We had a great time!

Happy Birthday Katie Ann

Katie's party was a good time! Chrisite had it at this awesome park with lots to do! The boys loved the train toy and the sandbox. Alex has been asking me if we can have one at home ever since! It was a little hot at the party, as you can tell from the red faces! I have a feeling these three will be playing together a lot this summer! They already see each other every day and Alex begs me to go over to there house in the evenings! Good thing Jonathan lives across the street!

5 Year Anniversary & Mother's Day

This morning, Tim took Alex to Lowes to their build and grow workshop to build me a Mother's Day present! Tim said he really loved building the flower box for me! This is going to become a Saturday tradition for them :)

Tim and I celebrated our 5 Year Anniversary yesterday by going to dinner at The Precinct - very yummy as always. Tim surprised me with flowers on Thursday and we all know - he never gets me flowers... I was thrilled!
