Summer...Summer...SUMMERTIME!!

Gabe gets 2 consecutive weeks off a year so this year we kept it low key and stayed home mainly. But we did make it out to Mentor for a day and went to our gym's pool a few times so we're a little browner! The kids enjoyed the beach even though it was pretty rocky. The next day we went to visit the Vincents and had a little visit. It was a nice 2 weeks off and the kids enjoyed having daddy home all the time and taking naps with him!

Chloe liked Aunt Beth's spaghetti!

Family puzzle fun!

The kids are getting big and school is coming. I signed my tumbler, Vince, up for gymnastics. I think he'll love it.

Mia has officially moved into her big girl bed and we're working on potty-training. She's not too into it, unfortunately and doesn't mind being dirty AT ALL. The girl gets more of her food on her face then in her belly most days. One of these days...

Have a great rest of the summer everyone!

Busy summertime

The kids are only 2 and 4 but we're already busy and they aren't even in school! The last few months have been a whirlwind that just seems to keep spinning faster. Vince got new glasses and is learning all he can about spelling and words. He loves his new glasses, and I do too when he's actually looking through them instead of over! He'll definitely be reading by the end of this year- love having smart kids, but sometimes I wish they weren't SO smart...

Still babysitting our best friend Ellie. Here is her and Mia with they're matching shirts!

The best God-daughter ever! Happy Birthday Chloe!!

Taking our nature walk. Pretty exciting!

Happy 4th of July!!

Mia is my 2 year-old going on 13! She has more personality then most kids I know and constantly leaves me speechless or laughing most days. She's my spitfire and I wouldn't change it, most days anyway. She loves riding her bike around the block with her brother and they play so well together most days. We're really lucky in that aspect! They really love each other and I couldn't ask for anything more.

XOXO
