Summer Shenanigans!

We have done so much fun stuff this summer it was impossible for mama to post after each event so here is a recap of all the F-U-N we've had!!!

We celebrated our neighbor Olivia's 7th birthday - it's so much fun to have a street full of kids - here they are enjoying the water balloon fight!

 Swingin'

 cake time!

 drenched!

 We had some friends over for a cookout! Gia loves the water table!

 Parker LOVED the roller coaster

 crazy kids!

Grant with NO HANDS!

 OMGosh...the Stotler's and O'Malley's better look out - the boys are gonna be knockin!

 impromptu fun at the Bulleri's on the water slide!

 Jack, Noah, Max & El

 Gia loved the teetherball!

 wrong way Jack! we were crackin up that he was as long as the climbing wall!

 snack time

 We celebrated Daniel Horne's first birthday at the Baltimore Yacht Club!

 best shot I could get with all these kids!

 Daddy was super tired after playing all day with Jack & Kacy

 the Levine's

Lots of walks through the trails near our house - and swings - the kids can't get enough of the swings!

 

 Howard County Fair - we got rained on, so were only able to see the animals and get something to eat this year but anyone who knows Jack, knows he was perfectly fine with it as long as he got to see the animals! :)

 

 Waterpark with the Woody girls! They had a ball!

 who doesn't like a splash bucket!?

 

 

 

The future Mrs. Jackson Mansolillo? :)

 goofin off as usual!

Gia - 11 months!

11 months!! It's so hard to believe we are planning Gia's 1st birthday already!! She is our little spitfire! She's always on the move, in everyone business - not sure where she gets that from, lol! She does get it honestly :) She loves climbing on everything, especially the dishwasher - this makes Daddy really mad and Mommy laugh. She's loving every minute of eating table food and she should be no problem to ween from the bottle since she's not a big fan. She LOVES her big brother, he's getting a bit over her wanting to play with his stuff but hopefully that too will pass. As you saw in previous posts, she loves the water, sand, and being outside. She is still babbling pretty good too - Daddy said she said "dog" the other day and we are pretty sure she says "Jack" - not super clear yet but soon enough.

she doesn't want just a little piece....must have the whole thing!

 

so over the bouncer!

 

loves spaghetti!

 

 

she was eating a tomato like an apple

 

Dewey 2012!

We spent an extended weekend in Dewey with the Schwab's and Wiland's. Jack and Gia had a load of fun with their cousins. We hit Jungle Jim's water park, the Rehoboth boards, Funland and spent lots of time on the beach! We missed Uncle Joey and Aunt Kristin this year :(

 FUNLAND!

 

 It rained Saturday morning for a little while. Thankfully Aunt Michelle brought crafts for the kids!

 

 

 

 Gia loved the sand - she had it everywhere including her mouth. Mama actually even pulled part of a sand crab out that she was munchin on, so gross!!!
