We've had fun times in the summer, and this past week we have been on a total fun-streak.

On Wednesdays the college holds free concerts on the grass. If you bring a can of food you get a free whatever. This week Liam got a blow-up ball that he ended up chasing the whole evening...

...every time he would lift his hand to grab it he would knock it further away. It was so funny to watch. The concert was quite relaxing until I actually listened to the band. Leave it to the college to find a rock band that sings about Humpty Dumpty and the other nursery rhyme characters.

The Library held a "Dino-Dig" for the kids...Liam just took the shovel out and flew it around on the ground everywhere. At the end he was given shades. Apparently the digable dino's weren't for kids because they were choking hazards. Yeesh.

It ended up being alright though because Liam loves to wear sunglasses.

After two double takes and a long "Waaaaah" I just shrugged my shoulders and accepted Liam being in the trunk as part of our summer mayhem of fun.

Happy Daddy Day

For Father's Day I decided to go all out. I threw this awesome dance party and invited all my friends...

Actually my friend Kimberly decided to get hitched and asked that I be in her wedding! It was a ton of fun. Her family especially made it a special day- complete with Limo rides and all. I especially enjoyed Father Ben.... It really was a good time. Thanks Kim, and good luck!

And Happy Daddy's Day, Love. I hope you had a good one.

Thank-you Grandpa and Grandma

Thanks to my grandparents, our summer was kicked off with a bang as we vacationed in California at a beach house for a week. The place was GINORMOUS. It had 10 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, 2 jacuzzis, 2 kitchens and 100 reasons to never want to return home!

I knew the week was destined for greatness when I saw my mom's tote full of towels, and three drawers in the kitchen stuffed with junk food.

And thanks to my parents we were able to visit the happiest place on earth (except when you have to wait 20 min in line for a snap shot with 2 dogs!) It was worth it though when I saw how Liam was panting during the picture.

Liam loved all the rides. The Jungle Ride and Tiki room were his favorite. This picture is about when Liam decided he couldn't be very brave anymore. After this he clenched on to me, thus enabling him to take a few glances at the last of the scary animals!

I can't imagine a job like this. Think of it- running around on a street dressed like a utensil while holding hands with a spoon. This dancing team created such a comotion that it caused Liam to dance and go into turbo-pointing-mode.

Tanner and I had 2 ways of babysitting: putting floaties on Liam and tossing him in the ocean, and burying him in the sand. This was probably our favorite way...

The best part of the whole trip was Liam getting to know all my family and saying "ba-pa" everytime he saw my grandpa, grandma, mom and dad. Thanks Grandpa and Grandma!
