My Dad

Here is my father with me and my sisters.(Sorry Gate) Happy Father's Day Dad. Most of all thanks for everything that you have done for our family and everything you still do. You are the definition of a great father. I love to watch you and my girls together because it brings back so many wonderful memories of being a kid. Thanks for being Aubrey's partner in "nastics" and for being Kaylee's jogging partner even when your too tired to chase. Thank you for forgiving when we can sometimes make stupid mistakes. Most of all thank you for walking me down the aisle and for that wonderful dance. I love you!

Happy Father's Day Daddy

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband who is the greatest daddy there is. One of the best things I get to see is the smiles on both of my girls faces when they see their daddy come home from work. They both smile so big and Kaylee runs right for him with her arms open wide ready for one of those great big daddy hugs. Then you look at their daddy and can't tell which one is more excited to see the other. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful daddy for my girls.

Kaylee's Haircut

I wish I would of brought my camera to the beauty parlor today because Kaylee was so good. She sat so nice with her gown on and clips in her hair. I thought I would have to hold her down the whole time but I didn't. When she was all done she got up and showed us all her hair on the ground and said, "that's my hair"!!! We think she looks so cute and it's the perfect hair cut for the summer. Now if her sister would just grow a little bit of hair.

Girls Only Club

Yesterday my girls and I had such a great time. We had a playdate with our friends Cory, Claire Bear and Aubrey's new friend Gabbi. The little ones played so nice together while Kaylee enjoyed coloring in her mermaid book and singing songs for us. Look at these girls-----Can anyone say Trouble!!!!

Kaylee And Her Daddy

Kaylee and her daddy having fun one night taking pictures of themselves. Kaylee loves the camera lately. Everytime she sees it she is saying "CHEESE" real loud. Then she likes to run around taking pictures of herself.

And She's Off!!!!

Aubrey has started to crawl. She took off the day before she turned 8 months. And if that wasn't enough she loves to try and climb things so she can stand up!!!! It seems she has grown very fast these past couple of weeks. She has went from sitting up by herself to even saying "mama" and "dada". It is almost impossible to keep her still. She even struggles to keep her curious little eyes open when it is time for bed. What happened to my baby girl that loved to sleep all day?

Memorial Day Weekend

We all had such a great weekend. It started off at Mom Mom and Pop Pop's house then we all went to my friend Corey's house and finished it up at Grandmom and Pop's house. It was a busy 3 days but so much fun and full of ice cream!!!! Kaylee didn't complain about that and neither did Aubrey since she got some of her own ice cream from daddy!

Aubrey and Claire

Shopping In Atlantic City

Kaylee and Aubrey had their first shopping date yesterday. Our friends Corey and Claire came with us. The only problem was that only Corey and I were interested in shopping. Claire and Aubrey slept through most of the day and Kaylee just wanted to blow her bubbles and run the boardwalk. As much as I would like to say my girls were angels all day I can't...Kaylee showed everyone what a bad case of the 2's are like. By the end of the day we were all exhausted and couldn't wait to get home. After it all I still had a great time and I am looking forward to the next shopping trip.

Aubrey's Play Time

Aubrey loves to look right into your face and smile. She ejoys all the excitement of when her cousins come over to play. She skips her naps because she doesn't like to miss anything going on around her. She will eventually fall asleep when things start to slow down around her.

Kaylee's Sleepover

Kaylee and her cousin "Tori"(Kaylee's name for her) had so much fun today. Vikki spent the night and Kaylee was so excited to see her in the morning. We spent the day shopping, jumping on the trampoline and hanging outside all day with daddy. It has been an exciting 2 days for Kaylee and Aubrey since all of their cousins were here last night to play. I love to see them having so much fun!!

My Mom

Wow!! Check us out. That is of course my mom in the middle, Tracie on the left then Rosie, Gate and then me. (I don't know who the baby is) Thanks mom for all the wonderful childhood memories. Thanks for never missing cheer leading or a dance recital. Thanks for always filling our closets with the latest fashions that we had to have!! Thanks for being supportive through some crazy years. Thank you for being there with me when my babies were born and I needed all the help I could get. Thank you for always listening and all the advice. Most of all thanks for being such a wonderful mother and grandmother. I love you.

Happy Mothers Day

What a great way to finish the day--ice cream with my girls. Can you tell that Kaylee enjoyed it and Aubrey needs just one more taste!!! I still can't believe that I am a mom. I look at my girls and know that I am the luckiest mom in the world to have them. I wouldn't be who I am today without them. I can't wait for the years to come!!! For my friends Corey, Beth and Tara I hope you had a very special first Mother's Day.

Atlantic City

While Jeff was home doing some extra work on the house I took the girls to Atlantic City again. Pop and Grandma were already there so we got to spend the day with them. Kaylee was so excited to run around the boardwalk and throw money in the fountains. Aubrey enjoyed the new scenery that she had hardly slept. We enjoyed the water shows and shopping while going out for lunch and dinner. Kaylee had so much fun with her grandparents. By the end of the day we went to see the final water show and Kaylee was so exhausted that she actually SAT down in the stroller while eating her ice cream to watch the show. By that time daddy met us there and gave Grandma and Pop the rest of the night off. I don't know who was more exhausted Kaylee or Grandma and Pop!

Bubbles

Here is Kaylee learning how to blow bubbles for the first time. By the time she was finished her shirt was soaked and the front of the stroller was dripping with the bubbles. Getting to watch her face was well worth the whole mess.

Kaylee getting ready for the walk

MS Walk

This past weekend Jeff, Kaylee, Aubrey and myself joined friends of ours for the National MS Walk. We walked 5 miles on the Ocean City Boardwalk and luckily we beat out the rain. We were on the team "Mary's Mob" which had over 20 walkers itself. Thank you all for your support and donations. We greatly appreciate it. Hope some of you will join us next year.

Tubby Time

It wasn't that long ago I was saying that I couldn't wait till they could get a tub together. Now that's already here. And as you can see Aubrey now loves the tub and laughs and smiles when going in instead of crying. If she turns out to be like her sister I will never be able to get them out.

Outside In The Swing

Look at this face!!!!!! Aubrey absolutely loved her first time in the swing outside. Everything is so new and exciting to her. I love seeing how she reacts to everything. There isn't anything that she doesn't like. She is just getting so big so fast. And her face----don't you just want to squeeze those cheeks?
