NYC

Thank you mom for coming out and watching the kiddos so we could head to NYC for a few days. We had a great trip filled with tasty meals in Little Italy, strolling Highline Park, a Yankee's game, Chicago on Broadway and lots of roaming the streets. We put on 25 miles in 2.5 days. We even met up with Roberto's cousin and his wife who live in Brooklyn for diner and drinks one night. What a great trip!

I have to admit that a guilty peasure is watching Keeping up with the Kardashians so I had to go and check out the store. First we had to wait in line to get in and then the store was really not that impressive. Pretty small store, overpriced clothing and nothing that even remotely caught my eye.

June 2011

Playing in the pool. Muscle girl.
We went to Knoelebels Amusement Park and the kiddos had a great time on all of the kiddie rides. It was a super fun day. We'll definitely have to go back there. Aliya was so cute protecting her little brother on the ride.

Biking

We went for our first bike ride with the kiddos on May 27th. Everyone had a great time. They took a little nap and we were able to bike about 20 miles. It felt great to go biking again. It's been a long time since we last went for a bike ride. We stopped at Serenity Station along the way and hand some lunch. We had some Rita's after our bike ride. It was a great way to spend the day!

Play time

Aliya had some friends over for a play date - Campbell and Reese - and the girls had fun painting themselves and the paper. Aliya had more fun painting her arms and legs than the paper. That's why we love washable paints. After painting the girls played in the sprinkler to cool off and to wash off.

Easter

Alaina, Mae, Violet and Aliya in their pretty Easter dresses. It's tricky to try and have four girls 3 and under pose for a picture.

Birthday Boy!

1st Birthday!!

Our baby boy turned one in April we can hardly believe it's been a year since he came into our family. He's such a wonderful little boy. Here's a couple pictures from his 1st birthday parties. We had a party for him in Milwaukee and another small gathering in Mount Wolf. He had lots of fun and did a great job eating the cake. If I get some time I'll try to post a few more pics of him destroying his cake.
