Finally~ here is the real fun




these two were total buds



little love (i'm all about nick names if you don't know) and I sat in the sun tent and she loved my hat, I does look fetching.

the weather did not give us as much time as we wanted at pilgrim pines so we rode right over the first day to squeeze in as much as we could. here they are trying to catch fish with cheezits

this baby loves the camera, my kind of girl!

at camp they have this huge water slide which I'm sure would have been much more fun had there actually been water on it, as I always say, you can find fun any where, even a waterless water slide

B had the energy to take on J


bed heads


the took us to this yummy ice cream place and this is their kids cup

needless to say we all got kids size


ice cream lunch, nothin better

a self portrait, so cutie

a stop at the candy shop

we brought our bikes, as always, and they got a lot of use

I love this one! here we are at the bowling alley, another rainy day activity





this is at Yankee candle in the winter room where it snows every 4 minutes. really fun


I was thinking this may be a Christmas card pic but as you see its a big NOPE



this candle said it would take 7 years to burn down

the kids made their own candles.


looks like great music right? none better

this baby got plenty of attention

if you know these two you know this is picture is sooo perfect. J there will be 1 in the mail for you soon!



because of the crummy weather we had an indoor picnic
we stopped in at camp to say see ya to jimmy c
on the way home we had a jaw breaker contest Gray came out victorious and got the prize

B's fathers day gift for Dave


B used his own $ to fix up D'S dads old Schwinn for fathers day. he had no idea and was so surprised. surprised too about how great a ride it was.

B also had Dave's old bike fixed for himself. He is very proud to be riding his dads bike from when he was in high school. Rudy at our bike shop said these were great bikes and was very happy we never got rid of them.

"we are so blessed"


liv walked in the house today from playing outside with the neighbor smiling from ear to ear.
"what?" I said. "I love having so many people to play with all the time, Jr. has no brother or sister, we are sooo blessed" If that doesn't fill a moms heart with praise ...

A BIG BIG day for G!


we flooded last year July and G's mattress was one of the things to be put in the trash. He has been bedless and sleeping here and there all year "poor guy" you are saying I know. Well I am happy to say he has a permanent bed now. One that can not fall subject to basement water! we surprised him telling him he can pick out any sheets and blanket he wanted for his new bed and he went crazy in excitement. You see here what he picked out. in fact when I took this picture I showed it to him and he said "mom you didn't even get Mario"

so here is the next photo

3 of my babies all together. I love to think of the late night chit chat that will be had in this room

B went in to check on G and with his whole new bed he is snuggled up in the corner. I love when I see my kids this happy!

liv turns 9 in vermont


enjoying her new bike seat

this cloud had a rainbow on it really cool, we figured that was good birthday luck

this is g's "joker" face... hum, ok?









a jump in a pool (not our pool) with your clothes on is always fun



we took the gondola to the highest peak in VT. it was 54 degrees up there burr

...and many more!
