Summer So Far

This summer Liam played soccer. Graham was one of the coaches. He really enjoyed playing with all of his friends.

We went on a trip to Grass Valley to see our family.

This is us at Audrey's graduation party.

This is Liam holding baby Annelise. My niece Christine's new baby!

We all loved her!

 Such a cutie!

This is their first cotton candy! Liam loved it! Brielle had a few bites.

Liam also played Tball. Graham was one of the coaches again. They all did really well.

This is Liam's 1st trophy. He is so proud.

We just got back from camping with my family for 3 days. They loved the s'mores.

They got to go in the boat with daddy.

All of these happy pictures are from the first day. The 2nd day Brielle got the stomach flu!!!! It was awful. But overall we had great time!

So Big!

Liam's Graduation

Liam had his last day of preschool class this week. 

All of the kids at his school did a little singing program. It was really cute!

They sang this very cute monkey mambo song.

After school we went across the street to the pizza parlor and he got to open a few congratulations gifts. We got a new game for summer and a few other little items.

Liam's 4th Birthday

Our big boy turned four!

We can't believe how fast time goes by.

This year we had his birthday party at the train park. He wanted a spiderman themed party. We invited his friends from school and neighborhood.

We did a pinata this year. Liam loved it. He got to hit it until it broke apart.

Before going in to ride trains we played games and had a blast!

On Liam's actual birthday we decorated the house in spiderman colors.

This year was the best birthday ever! It was a very involved fun packed day.

Liam was super excited when he woke up.

We had a scavenger hunt planed. It took him all around the house to find his presents.

One of his favorite gifts was this spiderman costume.

His big final gift was hiding outside the garage door. He got a new big boy bike. He is super excited to learn how to ride it. It made me cry when I saw him ride it. He is getting so big!

Later that day we took him to the mall to ride the new train. It even played a birthday song for him.

After a Sonic lunch we met the grandparents back at our house for cake and ice cream.

Later that night we met a couple of his friends who couldn't make it to his birthday party at the fun center. We had cupcakes and played in the fun house.

Daddy and Liam played air hockey too! Liam won of course!

That night when we got home Liam had another present waiting for him from Brielle. It was a transformer fire station. Overall it was an amazing day. 

Easter

We had a great Easter this year! We did all kinds of fun things. This is Brielle at an Easter party hunting for eggs.

 Here is Liam with a mouth full of treats from the eggs he found.

This is the darling outfit my parents got Brielle for Easter. You can't see it, but there are bunny ears on her hood.

 We were lucky enough to have beautiful weather for my Easter party. We had over 30 kids come and hunt eggs in the park in front of our house.

 Here is Brielle enjoying the treats from her eggs. She says mmmm every time she puts one in her mouth.

They both ate too many sweets that day. I had to hide the rest of the candy during nap time. 

The day before Easter the city hosted an Easter party in the park. This is Brielle playing a bean bag toss game.

This is Liam with an Easter frog.

Here we are with the Easter Bunny. Brielle did not want to sit there.

Liam was happy to see him. He told the bunny that he would like a yo yo for Easter.

Here we are getting ready for the egg hunt.

They both got a ton of eggs.

Here we are dying Easter eggs. Liam kept singing about how fantastic it was to dye Easter eggs. Brielle loved it too!

That night we put our baskets, the eggs and a carrot on our front porch for the bunny to find.

On Easter morning we found our Easter baskets hidden in the playroom filled with toys and treats!

Liam got his yo yo he wanted. He hasn't set it down yet!

We did an egg hunt inside, then when our parents came over we did another egg hunt outside.

We even found carrot shaped eggs in our garden. Some were filled with bubbles.

We also had a Golden Egg hunt! At the end of it we found some jelly beans and a new bubble blower! It was the best Easter yet! It was very memorable.
