Happy Father's Day!

Today we celebrated Father's Day by going out to lunch and doing some shopping. Part of Natalie's gift to Greg were these little "Fast Food" baskets made out of cupcakes, brownies and sugar cookies. Thanks to Jenn for forwarding us the blog that she found it on .... bakerella.com .... It turned out to be such a cute idea and Maria, Joey and Natalie had a good time putting everything together.











Happy Father's Day!

Maria's Party

Yesterday we went to Maria's birthday party.











Me, Willow and Jenn


Maria and Natalie were both obsessed with Jenn's iPhone. You'll see why in a minute.


She was able to draw a picture on the screen and then Jenn emailed it to me.


Then she got the bright idea to try to imitate what I look like.


And then Maria and Joey got in on it too.


And Matthew just took it all in.



Happy 5th Birthday Maria! Hope you had a great day!

Saturday Playdate

On Saturday afternoon Natalie and I went over to Karen's house for a playdate with Hope, Shelly and Lexi. Here is a link to Karen's blog that has some pictures from that night. The girls got along great!

Chuck E Cheese

Last night we took Natalie to Chuck E Cheese for the first time. Of course the first ride we picked was the ride that takes a complimentary photo. She looks terrified.



But then she got comfortable.


She couldn't quite get the hang of skee ball (we said "throw it as hard as you can" and she took us literally and threw it overhand as hard as she could. Oops!!)


But she was an excellent water gun shooter


Action shot coming off the slide:


I didn't have my regular camera, just the one on my phone, so the pictures aren't the best. But I still felt like they were blog-worthy. We had a great time!

Memorial Day Weekend

With the great weather we had this weekend, we got to spend a lot of time outside. Here's a photo recap:













She even got a haircut, but after looking at these before and after pictures, it really doesn't look like it.




It's still really long.

And she crashed hard every night.

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Birthday Lilly!

Yesterday we spent the day with Brian, Ashleigh and Lilly to celebrate Lilly's 2nd birthday. The rain held off and we had a great time outside.
