Weekend at the Eastern shore

We went to Maryland to visit my good friend Kari and her husband. Olivia and I were in their wedding in October. This was the first time we had made it down there. The drive was better than I could have anticipated. Olivia watched her movies and Ethan took in all the tractors, combines and boats that we passed. He would ask, where are more tractors Mommy? I couldn't have asked them to be any better for a 3 hour car ride! We had a wonderful time with Aunt Kari and Uncle Chris. Their house overlooks a large pond and is surrounded be farmland. Its beautiful!

There was a small beach a few miles from their house, where we were able to go swimming and play in the sand. Olivia and Ethan had a blast (so did the adults)!

Ethan was very tired after a hard day playing in the sand and swimming!

There was even a little carnival near their house. The kids loved the rides and games

We had so much fun with Aunt Kari and Uncle Chris, no one wanted to leave. On the way home, we stopped at a farm stand and they had the coolest playground. It was a combine that had been converted to a slide and you could sit in the cab and pretend to drive it. Needless to say, anyone that knows Ethan, knows that he absolutely loves tractors or anything involving tractors. He thought this was pretty cool!

Happy Birthday Pop-pop

We celebrated Pop-pop's birthday. Olivia and Ethan helped him blow out his candles (he is 30again!), open his presents and sample the cake!

First Annual Cousins picnic

We had our first annual cousin's picnic this past weekend. We had a wonderful time. It was really nice to catch up with everyone, as well as see how much the little "Guies" have grown! There was plenty of swimming, a moon bounce and in true family style more yummy food than we could possibly eat!
Thank you to Shawn and Tiffany for hosting such a great day.







Trying to get a picture of all the little guys was very entertaining. We definately have a few "hams".

I just love this picture. I can't take credit for taking it, my father in-law took it.

More summer fun

When Mommom and Pa-Pa went to Hawaii they brought back these adorable outfits. Sunday was the perfect day to wear them. I think Olivia really looks like my sister Stacie in this picture. Most of the time she is the spitting image of her Daddy both in looks and personality.

Uncle Pat and Aunt Meghan

Olivia was the flower girl in Pat and Meghan's wedding. It was a wonderful day.

Summer Fun

We went to Hershey Park this past weekend and had a blast. Both Olivia and Ethan love the rides.
