Remember Me?!

Oh hi. Remember me?!

It's been a while . . . it's been a busy while. Lots of things went on. Super busy at work. DIY remodel of our living room. Trip to Germany & Paris. Lots of family get-togethers.

Here are some fun pics of my nieces & nephew from Thanksgiving (yeah, I know that was 3 months ago) . . . .

Bryce & Bowen's Birthday Party!

My niece, Bryce, and my nephew, Bowen, celebrated their 3rd and 1st birthdays (respectively) in August.



I really can't believe they are that old already! Time sure flies when you are having fun!


Bryce was a princess!



And Bowen was a prince!


These two have made my life better in so many ways! Bryce is starting to interact so much more and say the cutest, most funny things! And Bowen is starting to interact more too and actually ran to give me a hug! Melted my heart! I really don't know how they can get any cuter, but it always seems to happen! I can't wait to watch them grow and learn even more!

More Lake House!

Over July 4th weekend, we headed out to the lake house again! First stop . . . flea market!


A couple toys were bought, but nothing big.



Next stop . . . boat! Aly loves the boat almost as much as I do!


Ooops! Brian & Bibi fell off and we didn't realize for a while . . .


Livin the life! Paddle boating in the canal!


Brian & Bibi


I just LOVE how little kids interact with each other! Aly & Bryce are so stinkin cute!


Captain Bowen & Captain Don!


Amazzzzzing place in Bemus Point called Village Casino! Super yummy food and you can order it, eat it, and pay all right from your boat! Definitely recommend this place!


After dinner and some playground fun, we headed over to listen to the cover band singing Billy Joel & Elton John songs!


So awesome. It was like we were on vacation all weekend. I loved it.

Family Picnics & Lakehouse!

Here are some pictures from when Dan & Marissa were home!

Dan & Bowie! Or Bo-wo as Bryce likes to call him (too cute)!


Beautiful night!


Dan & Marissa excited to be home with us! :-)


Bowie!


Next day! Some kayaking in the canal!


Shaney & his Mommy, Rita!


Brycee had a long day!


Bowen was still ready to eat!


This is the fish bowl @ Guppy's!


Bry was wasted! JK . . maybe.


More tube time! Aly says "let's go!"


Bry, Bryce, & Sommer's turn!


Swim time!


Bye Aly!


Having fun!


Kayaking!

We had so much fun and were so glad to spend some more time with Dan & Marissa before they headed back to Germany! Wish we could be at the lake house every day! Especially with Erie's recent weather!

Easter Goods!

We celebrated Easter with my grandma on Saturday this year. We picked her up from her new home and brought her back to our house for dinner and some cake!


Bria got a new toy from Grammy & Grampy that she was super excited about! (she really was excited about it)


Sunday we went to church and got to spend the day with Shane's family. His mommy and Bowen being all cute!


Bryce searching for eggs!


Who's bright idea was it to bring the kiddos ring pops. . . . . .

Especially when their mommy wanted to get some cute family pictures . . . .
Oops!

So we had a fashion shoot with little Bowie instead!





We tried to take the remote away . . kid wasn't having it.





We did finally manage to exchange it with an egg though!

This was cute . . . Aly was looking through her Easter basket and Bryce just stood there and watched the entire time.


Bryce sporting her new shades:



Don had too much excitement for the day . . .


And later on we walked in on Aly reading Bryce a book. They were literally in there for a good 20 minutes just "reading" to each other.

Love this age!!

Love my family and God as well!! Thank you for a great Easter!
