Everywhere That Luca Goes...

Muddy Water

And this is why you shouldn't leave kids unattended in the backyard with a kiddie pool full of muddy water.

Baby Ryan

Luca, how old are you?

He hasn't quite figured out how to make the two on just one hand.

Baby Alaina

Welcome beautiful girl.

Pair of Princesses

Somehow I forgot to take pictures during our entire family reunion except for about 4 pictures of my kids in the waterpark the first day.

Family Time

Come in Star Command

"Come in Star Command...I'm Buzzlightyear, I come in peace".

Yes, he seriously says all the lines. Over and over and over.

Happy Birthday big girl.

Day with Mema

Mema (my mom) took Ava for a special day to celebrate her birthday. They went to build a bear where Ava made a Cinderella puppy, equipped with shoes, a crown and underwear. I didn't know you could create such a well dressed stuffed animal. Thanks Mom for treating Ava to a fun girly day!

Princess Party

Her birthday isn't until the 11th but when you work every other weekend night shift you plan the party when it works with life. When do kids learn to read a calendar anyway?

Ava wanted a princess party as I'm sure most 4 year old girls do. A new Belle dress, princess crowns to decorate, stick on earrings, princess tattoos, friends in pretty dresses and an ice cream cake with a unicorn and rainbow on it...Ava was one happy little birthday girl.

Sue, Zoo, ZuZu

This morning I tried to explain to Luca that we were going to see Sue today, the only thing he understood was "ZOO". Since I couldn't win the war on Sue vs Zoo...we went to the Zoo, with Sue. And then to the ZuZu cafe. Confusing day.

Happy Birthday to my lovely friend Sue!

Cork and Bottle

Bluegrass on the terrace, I love summer in Madison.

Especially fun this evening was Tim teaching the kids to shove things up their noses.

Thanks for the picture Aunt Beth!
