Haircuts for everyone!

The school year has begun so it's time for haircuts! Bella got her hair cut short, it looks really cute. Finn wasn't really to thrilled with the idea. Even Kelly got a haircut too!

Happy Birthday Bella!!

Ok so we've been slackers with the blog, actually I have (Kelly) The entire month of August was a flash! We had lots of fun with our beach vacation. Then it was Bella's 4th birthday. She got to celebrate it twice: once on her birthday with family and then a Scooby Doo birthday party at home with friends later in the month. She got lots of presents and had a great day. Here are some pictures from it.

July 2009!

July was a busy month for us. Each July starts with Kelly works on a patriotic dessert for the 4th of July. This year was a funfetti cake in the shape of a flag. Bella helped put the final touches/fruit. We had family over and Grace and Bella enjoyed some pool time with Uncle Kevin and Aunt Jackie. Smores and fireworks were the perfect end the night!

Day trips to the Waterpark to see Daddy.

And an engagement party for Jackie and Kevin.

We finished the month off with a night out for Speranza & Jimmy's wedding.

Road Trip North Carolina!

Kelly and the kids took a trip to North Carolina to visit Kristen, Matt, & Turner. The drive was long but both Bella and Finn did really good. We stopped for an annual trip to the UNCG bookstore and then arrived on Thursday to the Boone residence. We had a very relaxing weekend!

Finn and Turner played nice together, other than the otherwise sneak attack steals from Finn.

Bella really enjoyed seeing Kristen. Kristen showed her how to catch fireflies, she got her to eat her dinner with an enticing piece of watermelon and blew bubbles in the yard while she tried catching them.

Sara and Owen came over to play in the pools. The boys had fun going from one to pool to the other. They had a great time and it was perfect for the hot day.

All and all it was a great trip and we are happy that we went. Bella cried the morning we left because she didn't want to leave her new BFF Kristen. I promised her that we would go back again and that maybe even Kristen will come visit us ;) We made it back to NJ safe and sound and just in time for a Father's Day dinner with Daddy!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all! We had a nice dinner out at the Irish Cottage. Dru had to work during the day but got to spend time with the kids that evening.

Backyard Fun

So we managed to have one sunny day so far and we soaked up on the back deck in the baby pool. Finn loved getting in and out, in and out. Bella had fun watering him with her watering can like he was a flower. We had lots of fun. That night we had smores by the fire. I sure hope the sun finds it's way back for summer so we can go in the big pool!

Out with the Old.....In with the new.........

A new door! The joys of owning a home, this is one of them. When you do a home improvement and you love it. I love the way the new door give light to our entry way and catches your eye as you walk by our house. The reality is, this door would still be sitting in the garage if it wasn't for Mom & Papa Bill! So bit thanks to them. Here are pictures of the old and now the new!
