Summer 2016

This summer was a whirlwind. We had such a wonderful summer. TJ worked all summer which was a bummer but thankfully he had off on Fridays! We did our best to make the most of our summer and our time together. Here are a few pictures of our adventures!

Ocean Lakes 2016

We visited Ocean Lakes this week with Me-Me, Pa-Pa, Uncle Justin and Aunt Andrea! We had so much fun!! We started out at Broadway at the Beach. We ate lunch at Liberty Brewing and the kids rode rides. At Ocean Lakes we enjoyed the new water park, playing in the sand, the playground, the basketball courts, and all the extra activities. Zack played in the putt-putt tournament. We all enjoyed a game of BINGO where Olivia Ann won best dressed. Zack and Lily went to camp two days and Zack, Lily, and Olivia Ann tie-dyed shirts!

Addilyn Ruth is 1 year old!

 It is amazing how quickly a year goes by! I can't believe that Addilyn is 1 year old. She is walking everywhere with ease. She is starting to like food a little bit more and she isn't so sure about regular milk. She did not like her cake at her birthday party. She isn't really into sweet things, including fruit. She loves french fries, green peas, and macaroni and cheese! She loves to copy her big sister Olivia Ann and is starting to develop a silly personality. Addilyn has 3 teeth that are all the way through and there are 3 more working their way through. We love you forever and ever sweet Addi!

Zack and Lily's End of the Year Pictures and Awards Days

Zack is now finished with 5th grade and Lily is finished with 2nd. They both received wonderful awards at their award ceremonies which shows how hard they worked in school this year! They both can't wait for next school year and are both really excited to have a break this summer!!

Addilyn Ruth is 11 months old!

Our sweet sunshine is 11 months old! I can't believe how quickly this year is going by. She is now a expert walker and continues to love playing with things she isn't supposed to play with. She is working on saying a few more words. She has 3 teeth and is working on getting her 4th. She isn't too sure about food, but is beginning to find some things she likes. She can point to her nose and has found new joy in clapping and giving high fives! We are so lucky she is ours!!

Zack's Spring 2016 Soccer Season

Zack started playing soccer with JUSA Recreation in the Fall. This Spring season he had a lot of the same teammates which was wonderful. The team was great. They played together so well and had a great season. They did well in the tournament as well. We are so proud of the soccer player that Zack is becoming.

Addilyn Ruth is 10 months old!!

This is the best I could do for monthly pictures this month! Addilyn will not sit still long enough for her picture to be taken. She was walking towards me as I took this one. She started walking last month and hasn't slowed down since. She likes to wonder around the house and get into everything! She doesn't enjoy her toys as much as she enjoys everything she hasn't explored yet. She tries to climb the stairs and climb on basically everything. She is 100 mph and is still the happiest baby! She is starting to show her strong will and doesn't like it when you tell her no! She has 2 teeth on the bottom and her top left tooth is making its way in. She says, "ma-ma, da-da, hey, and bye-bye"
