Uncle Augie

Uncle Augie...I don't have the words to say how much I am going to miss you. I Love you always..

Happy 3rd Birthday Aubrey!

October 9Th my baby girl turned 3 this year. I know I am a little late with posting but things have been crazy. Aubrey was very happy to tell everyone that she was going to be 3 on October 9. In fact, Aubrey is very happy to tell everyone anything they will listen to. She is quite the talker/entertainer. After anyone has spent anytime with her they always seem to say the thing..."She never stops" And how true that is. From when she wakes up to the time her head hits the pillow she is a ball of energy just waiting to get in to whatever she can. She truly brings so much laughter and joy in our lives. Happy Birthday Baby Girl. I love you. (Birthday party pics will be posted soon)

Dancing Class

This year both of the girls go to dance class. Aubrey is so excited to start her first year of class. She keeps talking about her dancing class shoes as she call them. I can't wait to see the recital with both of my ballerina girls in it.

Georgie and Trixie

Jeff took the girls one night to the 4H fair and the girls were talking about the guinea pigs. Not thinking I had said that I wouldn't mind getting them. That night at work I received pictures of our two new pets! Turns out they are very cute and the girls absolutely love them.

First Day Of School

Finally the first day of school came. Believe it or not it wasn't me who was it excited it was Kaylee. She kept asking me how many more days after Wildwood. I can only hope she will still be excited as the years come.

Look Mom....My Ears Are Pierced!

One day this summer Kaylee was telling me that she wanted to get earrings while she was 4 and didn't want to wait till she was 5. So I mention this to Jeff and while I was working that night I checked my messages to see the picture of Kaylee waiting to have her ears pierced. Could you imagine what I was thinking? I was so nervous but quickly received the next pic of her happy with her beautiful earrings. Daddies are the best.

The Showplace

I guess I should of know with a name like "The Showplace" that there was going to be some kind of show at this Ice Cream Parlor I took the girls too. Little did I know that it was the customers who had to put the show on!!!! Long story short lets just say that the girls thought it was so funny when mommy had to stand up in a full dining room and sing...Vanilla, I ordered one scoop of Vanilla to the tune of Maria from West Side Story.

Wildwood 2009

Wildwood was yet again the best time ever. Weather was beautiful, kids were happy, drinks were flowing and adults were happy. From riding bikes to the park to riding the roller coaster and waves there was never a dull moment. I love knowing that these are the days me and my girls will remember forever. I will be posting a link to view a video that I will be working on so check back to see.

Mommy Did It!!!!!!!!!

For the very first time I took the girls to the beach all by myself! It was a last minute decision but turns out it was a good one. They actually played with each other the whole time without any pushing, it's mine or fighting. We took a walk, buried each other and when they asked me to sit with them to let the waves crash on them I couldn't resist. It was also so fun knowing that daddy was working in the building right next to us and we could see him waving to us the whole day. It was so easy that I am scared to push my luck and try it again.

I Did It!

Kaylee has come so far with her swimming and jumping in the pool since July. She amazes me more and more everyday. Just look how happy she is at the end.

Boat Rides

Jeff took the girls out on a boat for the first time this summer. He says they really loved it and kept jumping off in the water. They have such a great daddy to do these super fun things with them.

Beautiful Fantasy Island

Our Friend Baby Coen celebrated his first birthday party at Fantasy Island. The girls had so much fun and I had Gamma come along for the day to help me out. It was a huge success and the girls went on every ride that they could fit in. I heard so many times the Aubrey's belly hurt and just one more ride please. It was a blast.

Dora and Diego

The girls were super excited to see Dora and Diego at the Ice Cream Parlor. They just couldn't understand why they would not come out together. Dora was on for an hour then Diego came out. There was also a special appearance by Ariel again this week. I love to watch the girls faces as they see the characters. It is genuine excitement!

Haircuts

After all the crying and screaming..yes screaming when I would brush Kaylee's beautiful long hair she decided she wanted to cut it like Snow White's hair. She handled it much better than I did. I had to turn away for a second while she couldn't stop smiling. I have to say that it looks very cute and she and Aubrey love showing off their beautiful haircuts as they say.

More Beach Days

The Boogie Board

Kaylee has become quite the little surfer. She loves her boogie board and does not want to come off of it. She rides the waves all day long.

Story Book Land

I never realized just how much fun Story Book Land is. I remember going there on my very first school trip with my mom. We took Kaylee once when she was tiny. I think we have found the perfect ages to go. The girls loved it. It is filled with all your favorite nursery rhyme's, princesses, petting zoo and rides. The weather is perfect and good times are to be had. I did find out that Aubrey is not too sure about the rides since everytime she would get off of one she would say "My belly hurts"

Ahhhhh The Lake

We finally had our first trip to the Lake house this year. It was as perfect as always. There have been 2 new additions to the house this year....a motorized paddle boat and a canoe. Woohoo! Aubrey couldn't wait to get in the water and kept asking me to move off the ladder because it was her turn. Kaylee was in before any of us. These are the days that I will remember the most.

Beach Bums

The Beach has been a huge part of our summer this year. The girls LOVE it. I love that Aubrey even likes to take naps at the beach. Aubrey is my sandcastle builder and Kaylee is my waterbug. Kaylee loves to sit at the end of the water and let the waves hit her. By the end of the day her only complaint is that her hiney hurts! :)

Happy 4th Of July

After a fun BBQ at our house we all took a trip to see the fireworks at Atlantic City. We ended up parking on the side of the road and piling up in the back of Jeff's truck to watch them in the distance. It was a great day and night. This was also a great day for Kaylee since she learned how to swim under water without any swimmies or holding her nose. By the end of the day she was jumping in and going under. I have to say...as excited as she was to be doing this I was just as scared. When did she get so big?
