June 2013

As per usual, I am really behind with keeping you updated on our kiddos! We had an amazing summer, chalk full of adventures and fun! Here's June in a nutshell!

Backyard Picassos!

Our beautiful tulips and daffodils!

Love this little boy.

 Hosting our music class for an outdoor class and lunch!  So much fun!

 Gabe is 2!  His happy birthday strawberry shortcake.

 Will and Ella had a great time at Our Lady of Fatima Bible School!  Kingdom Rock!

 Francesca, our neighbor.

Domenic, Francesca's brother, and his crown.

Feeding the ducks at the park.  This has since become one of our favorite adventures!

Movie night with the Foleys.

The boys (and girls) of summer! We love t-ball!

 

 

Playing in the dirt...

Making the stop.

And the throw to first!

 Baseball ready!

 And a scratch... good to know this starts early.

 Big hit! Look at that form!

Gabe checking things out.

Helping!

Preschool Graduation!

Will is officially became  a Kindergartner just before Memorial Day.  Congrats buddy!

Wonderful teachers, Mrs. Misidua and Mrs. Ley. 

Hugs all around!

 We made pig and cow cake pops for the end of the year farm party!

Two wheeling!

Last weekend we took Will to the park to practice without training wheels on his bike.  He got the hang of it right away and now buzzes up and down the street without any help at all.  He is crazy excited... Love this little man.  He also has two loose teeth.  Growing up so fast.

Future Olympian!

Ella has been taking skating lessons for about 18 months now and she loves every minute of it.  We are very proud of her enthusiasm, listening skills and perseverance.  And, she's pretty good, to boot!  She has progressed very quickly through the levels so far.  Best of all, she has so much fun when she's out there!  Here is a video of class last week while she was practicing her forward crossovers.  She is wearing a pink helmet and pink fleece (of course!). 

Living Treasures!

We always have the best time at Living Treasures Animal Park.  We took a trip on one of our first warm days.  Thank goodness spring has finally sprung around here!

Nan, Gabe and the "shaggy cow" as Will calls him.

Feeding the donkeys.

 On the move!

He isn't afraid of anything!

Zebras!

Nan's turn.

Ella gets brave!
