The Kids Daycare had a festival on Sunday. The had inflatables, food, ice cream etc. Cole had so much fun jumping on everything. Aidan really wanted in that bounce house with his brother!!

Picnic with College Friends

We also went to a cookout on Saturday with some of my sorority sisters from college. It was so great to see everyone and catch up. Misty drove 7 hours from Virginia, Ellen drove from Pittsburgh, Tricia drove from Kentucky. Amanda and Julie came in from Cleveland and Nikki came from Mt. Vernon. A few people that came last year didn't make it...but hopefully they'll be able to come back next year.


All of us girls!!! Gosh we look good!


All of the mom's with their kids!!! (8 boys, 4 girls and 7 moms!)
The little girl next to Cole was born on the exact same day!!

I am sure Kelly will be sending out her email to host again next year. It's crazy we have to pick a date a year ahead of time! Last year, Nikki, Amanda and I were all pregnant. It was great to see the new babies this year!


Touch a Truck

A park in Hilliard did an event on Saturday called "Touch a Truck". We took the boys and Cole loved seeing all the cars and trucks. Here are some pictures. He got to sit on a Police Motorcycle, up in a couple of Fire Trucks, in an Army Truck, on a Tractor and in a Sheriff Deputy Car (just like Uncle Doug will drive!). The worst part was getting him to understand he had to wait his turn in the long line of kids!! It was a good thing we got there early, because by the time we were ready to leave there were kids EVERYWHERE!


Sheriff's Car (he's at least putting on the seatbelt!)

We hope we never see him in the back of the cruiser!!

Up in the Fire Engine!

On the tractor
Aidan was there at the event, but he was in the stroller, so we didn't get any pictures of him. I'm sure next year he'll be right up there in line with Cole. And Aidan will be the one crying he doesn't want to wait in line!

Finally have time!!

Well, I finally have time to update the blog after our crazy weekend!! Here are some pictures from the Irish Festival.

Busy Weekend!

We had a very busy weekend. Saturday we took the kids to the Dublin Irish Festival. It was a lot of fun. We hadn't gone for a few years and decided it would be a good time to go this year. Our neighbors Dan, Tess and Addison went with us. The kids had a lot of fun listening to music and watching the Irish step dancers.

Cole's favorite part was watching the bag pipe teams. Aidan just enjoyed everything...he even took a little nap!

Sunday we had an ice cream social at our church. In Worthington on Sunday's they have a concert on the green. This week was The Ohio State Alumni Band. Cole loved seeing the drums and hearing the band music. He would yell "BAND!" Aidan of course just smiled and laughed the entire time. Both enjoyed the ice cream and other yummy goodies.

Well, we have another busy week ahead of us. 3 cookouts and a possible trip to the State Fair.

Check back for some pictures of the festival and OSU band.
