Family Night at the Zoo

We went to the zoo last night for Family night. We went with 4 other families! We had so much fun and all the kids go along great!!! Cole loves the zoo so much!!! I think he would like it if we went everyday!!! Cole got to touch a starfish and even went in the bounce house and on a huge bouncy slide.

Here are a few pictures from our night.

Spaghetti Anyone

I made spaghetti last night for dinner and the kids love it!!! Check out these great faces!!!

Cole was insisting he needed his picture taken!!!

Swim Party

Cole had Addison, our neighbor. over on Sunday for a swim date. They had so much fun playing in the water together. Addison is about 8 months older than Cole. She and her mommy stayed and had lunch with us and all she talked about that evening was that Cole ate her hot dog. Well, she wasn't eating her hot dog, so Cole thought it was free game! Here are some pictures of their fun!!!



While Cole and Addison were playing Aidan was taking a nap. I went to check on him and found him asleep sitting up. Check out the picture Rob was able to sneak.

Little Aidan

We took Aidan this morning for an Ultrasound. He was having some bathroom issues over the weekend and we noticed a bulge on his right side below his belly button. Our thought was it was a hernia. We called the on-call dr. and she said just to make an appointment for Monday to have him checked out.

Rob took him in on Monday and the doctor said he couldn't be 100% sure if it was a hernia during the exam so he wanted an ultrasound. We took him in at 9 this morning. The ultrasound did not show an active hernia, but the tech said it is still possible that he has one. She said the bowel can move in and out of the hole if there is one. So now we just wait and if it happens again we'll call the doctor.

Good news is no surgery....as of now!!

Love to you all!!

Got a mini...van!

Well, this weekend it happened!! We've upgraded to a mini van!! The Jeep was great for one kid...but now with 2 it's difficult to get everything in to go away for a weekend. Especially if we're taking the dog with us. Some how I always got stuck sitting between the 2 car seats and the dog got to ride up in the front.



This will make our vacation to Myrtle much more enjoyable on the car ride there and back. And Cole will be able to watch DVD's all the way there!!! Poor Aidan will still be facing backwards, but not for much longer! Maybe I can put up a mirror so he can see the DVD screen in it. :)

I'll try to post some pictures of the new wheels this week.

Good Intentions

Well, I've had all intentions in doing this blog and just haven't seemed to get around to it. In the last 2 months we've been so busy!!!


Cole turned 2, we've been to numerous cookouts, played in our kids pool outside, spent time in Zanesville with my parents, went to Rob's family reunion in Indy, watched fireworks (Cole slept through them, but Aidan loved it!), went to a wedding, got together with my high school friends and had Cole's 2 year and family pictures taken. WOW, that's a lot of stuff!!!

The bad thing is, summer's almost over and that means cold weather is coming back BOOHOO!

On the upside we still have our vacation to Myrtle Beach coming up in September. Then Rob and I are taking a trip to San Antonio just the two of us. Rob did so much sales that he was able to qualify for a trip for 2!!

Here are some recent pictures. Check back for some more updates! I hope to update more this weekend.
