On the move

Ryan keeps begging to give Joseph a flying angel. AAAAHHHH!! I have to keep a close watch on everyone. The kids don't quite understand he is still a baby. Joseph is getting mobile and the kids think he is ready to play a little more with them. They love entertaining him and can't wait for him to start walking. We will keep you posted!!

Rockola

To get the kids to smile sometimes I say "smile and show me your teeth!" I forgot how cheesy they look. Our Jukebox for the basement finally came yesterday. The kids were having fun putting money and making selections. I am sure this will be fun for years to come!!

Up & Down Up & Down

Trying to Crawl is really entertaining Ryan & Ava.

Summer Fun

It has been so long since I have BLOGGED!! We have had such a fun & crazy summer. Ryan took swim lessons in Omaha and by the end of the class was MOST IMPROVED!! (He needed a lot of help.!!) We have done the children's muesum, zoo, pool and visited parents and grandparents. Our basement is almost completed. They are almost done trimming it out and should be ready to stain and paint by the end of next week. Ryan registers for kindergarten tomorrow and Ladybug opens back up on Monday for Joseph and Ava. School starts for Ryan in the next few weeks. We will be busy with Ryan's soccer and Ava is taking dance. CONGRATS to Colette and Andy on Layla's pregnancy. Ryan will be so excited to stay and play with the puppies. Thanks for everyone's help this summer with the kids!! xoxo Alissa

Ryan & Aiden at the Winery playing tag with the girls. Too much fun.

Joseph

Growing like a weed. Since this picture last weekend, I have already sprouted my two top front teeth. I am scooting and crawling every direction to keep my family on their toes!!

Adorable LUCA

I know it looks like my mom & I are at the children's muesum with the big yellow sticker on my forehead, but we are really relaxing and enjoying ourselves in 98 degree heat and humidity with our family and friends. Let's make this an annual party and maybe next year when Joseph and I are walking we can get lost in the cornfield!!

Love at first sight.

Joseph is smitten. California is only a hop, skip and a jump away!!
