3:30 in the afternoon...

on the first day of summer vacation

Life is good!

Happy Father's Day!

We had a nice low key day which we haven't had in a while. Almost didn't take these pictures but I am so glad I did because I just love them! Ally was only willing to pose for this one:

But then she was too busy working on her slam dunks:

But I am so in love with these of my boys:

And all he wants for Father's Day is for the Celtics to win it all tonight...Go Celtics!

Dad...missed you today...see you Wednesday on your birthday!

Toddler Heaven

Some rainboots, an umbrella, and a mud puddle...'nuf said.

(these are form last week when I was have blog troubles)

Complete happiness!

Yeah...it finally worked!

Its officially summer 'round here.  The telltale sign...the first trip to Grampa's pool! We've been waiting all winter for this and hope to spend much of the summer here!

Another sign of summer...finding these in the yard:

They aren't usually this big...this is the biggest one we've had in the yard in our five years of living here. it still a thrill to find them each year no matter how big.

And still lots of baseball going on here. A couple from last Saturday:

Brandon played Billy's team again... Here's a shot of Billy up to bat while Brandon was catching:

And a great shot of Auntie Kelly and Holly:

It was super hot and one of the longest games we've had...good thing we had shade and good company:)

Blog Problems...

typepad is not my friend right now...can't upload a picture to save my life! Hopefully it will be fixed soon!

I Love Braids

Because they take us from this:

(she is actually say "Hi Diego" to the TV here)

and this:

to this:

Ahhhh...that's better. How cute is she?

And when I look at this next picture all I see is two year old Brandon:

Take of that braid and that is what he looked like!

She was cracking me up this morning chasing Coco around trying to get her to take this bottle and she finally did:

(and no she is not sitting on the bunny...just crouching over her)

Her new little baby:

And what would a post be this time of year without a couple of baseball pics...he's really doing well pitching and I just love his form:

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!

Cousin vs. Cousin

Brandon's team played Billy's team on Wednesday night and it was quite a match up. The game was very close the whole time. Brandon and Billy both started their teams off pitching and were able to pitch to each other, which was really fun to watch. But Brandon did hit Billy, walking him...oops! Luckily he is ok. Here's some pics of the two of them pitching:

Brandon also played catcher which I had never seen him do before...he was really good at it:

A couple more shots from the night:

And a Ally, looking all grown up to me again:
