Wordless Wednesday - Safety First

A Sneak Peek

I've been chomping at the bit to see the pictures from Sunday. Jill was kind enough to send me something to hold me over while she continues to edit. Feast your eyes on the very first picture she took...

We're super excited to see the rest of them! Another preview should be availble on her blog in a few days!

Happy Birthday America, Happy Birthday Mama

What a nice, long weekend we had! Perfect for celebrating birthdays...

...watching movies...

...fruit kabobs...

...eating crackers without clothes on...

...and not cleaning our rooms!

Saturday we celebrated Independence Day with good friends, good food and not so good fireworks! The 4th is my favorite holiday so I was a little bummed when it started raining right at dark. The fireworks started going off a little after the rain stopped, but by then we were to comfy to go back outside!

The 4th was also a little sad because it meant we had to say good-bye to our good friends. The time as come for them to move to "Fornia Fronia." We are sad to see them go, but thankful for the three years we got to spend together.

There was a lot of pacey and sippy cup sharing going on!

We are going to miss our sweet God Daughters and Ky-Ky!

The kabobs were a hit!

This picture makes me laugh because it shows how much all of our lives have changed in the past few years...

Austin loved spending time with his God Father!

Thank you Uncle Jamey for helping to keep America safe. It's people like you that make this holiday possible!

Sunday was my birthday! We celebrated by getting family pictures taken in the morning and going to Uncle C's for dinner.

(Pay no attention to the sandals and pajamas... we were trying the shoes on for his photo shoot!)

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Here's one more picture because I know you haven't seen enough!

Please Don't Call DCFS

All parents wonder about when is the right time to add strawberries to their baby's diet. Strawberries are a potential high allergen food and as such, they really should be avoided until 12 months of age; avoid them longer if your family has a history of allergies.

Austin Goes For A Dip

I have always loved summer birthday, because summer birthdays mean pool parties! And that's just what we attended last Friday night......A pool party for Nana and Kalli.
I was worried that Austin might be a little nervous in the pool but he loved it!
We're almost in!
This is fun! A giant bathtub!
Mama is so proud of her little swimmer.
How many people does it take to get a baby in a raft?
What a neat baby raft! It even came with toys!
Swimming with Aunt B. and Kyle...
The water matched his eyes perfectly!
I think he could get used to this!
Even Nana went swimming!
Pa had to work...
Dad got off work early to join in on the fun!
I couldn't resist a swim diaper picture. Those things are too stinking cute!
We can't wait to go again!
