The 4th of July

We woke up early on Friday and drove to Murray for the big parade. Then we bought some fireworks and went home to rest. We caught the 5:00 showing of Wall-E then hung out at Thanksgiving Point until the fireworks started. By the way, if you haven't wandered around Thanksgiving Point you are missing out. We ate dinner at the little Deli and it was fabulous! We also loved the little garden area and hidden waterfall. By the end of the day my poor kids were completely worn out, yet still just as adorable!

Cruisin'

Joseph has been crawling for the last two weeks and has been cruising for just as long. He had his 9 month appointment this week and he is off the charts for height and about the 90th percentile for weight. I have been scrambling around the house trying to baby proof and I have nightmares everynight that he finds some way to get hurt. It's all worth it though, he is a pretty good kid!

Sleeping Beauty

Our own little princess was in the Acadamy of Ballet's production of Sleeping Beauty last weekend. She was a song bird and she was spectacular. The ballet was about 2 hours long and her part was about 2 minutes. It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen. I must say, she is a natural!

Eclipse by Stephanie Meyer "I snickered."

I tag Marilee, Tracie, Krachel, Annelisa and Tasha... If you want to!

Harry Potter

So I realized that I hadn't posted a picture of JJ in his cool new helmet. So far the helmet is doing it's job. The measurements have changed from 1 cm difference to .7 cm. He is trying to be like Harry Potter. I put him in his jumper and he turned around into the pantry and grabbed the broom. He was realy proud of himself, as you can see by his big, cheesy grin. I laughed and laughed and he smiled even bigger. I love my little wizard!

The Three Amigos

We took a trip out to North Carolina at the end of April to visit Joe's brother and his family. Chiara had a blast playing with her cousins, especially the twins Alyssa (big, cheesy, toothy grin) and Rachel. Even though she hadn't seen them in a year and a half, they picked up right where they left off and played their little hearts out.

Lil' Walker

JJ loves to spend time in his walker and I caught his beautiful smile. This is before he got his helmet, I still haven't downloaded those pictures. Yesterday JJ said his first word... over and over again. Dada!
