Memorial Day at The Lake

Ahhh.....the kissing cousins (or maybe he's trying to eat her face??). There they are!

Can you tell someone didn't sleep well last night??

Cookie Monster!

Kicking back, enjoying the first boat ride of the year.

Uncle Barrio let Bree drive -- first time behind the wheel!

Hang on Aiden, Hang on Tight!

We're Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo....You Can Come To, To, To!

Brienne's not scared of the bears with "boyfriend" Ethan close by to protect her.

Lunch break with pal, Adam.

Oink oink.

Too bad their aren't any REAL elephants at the Stone Zoo....

Pretty sure the highlight of the day was the train ride, not the animals.

Hop On Pop

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Aiden helped Pop make pizza for Daddy's birthday dinner. Oh, how we've missed Pop's pizza! Hopefully Aiden paid really close attention, because we do expect that he'll be making pizza for us from now on.

Happy Birthday, to you, to you, Daddy!

So yummy!

Story Time with Pop

Can you tell Brienne LOVES to be read to?? She also very much enjoys "reading" to herself or to her baby dolls these days. Often times she can be found on the couch or in her bedroom flipping through pages of books and reciting parts of the story from memory (with missing words here and there, of course), or simply describing what she sees on the page. It's totally cute!

Goofing Around with Pop!

Yeah....they weren't happy that he was visiting or anything.... :-)

Trouble

I can't exactly recall if this naughty face was before or after she cut a hole in her dress with Aiden's scissors.

If The Hat Fits....

Pop's visiting from Oregon, and he brought us some wicked cool hats! Aiden didn't want to model them, so Bree stepped in and did double duty. Thanks, Pop & Nan! xoxo

Story Time with Grampy

Story Time with Grammy

Happy Birthday, Mommy!

Where to?

Bree dashed off from the dinner table, came back with a map and her milk, and then covered herself with the door mat to read it. Strange kid....

Mother's Day

All the lovely pictures we captured on Mother's Day at the lake were also lost in the iPhoto upgrade debacle. :-( I'm especially sad about the lost picture of kissing cousins, Joe Joe Barrio and Brienne. Brienne is STILL talking about his wet kisses! Little monkey has some teething / drooling going on, which wouldn't be cute on anyone else except him! xoxo

The first picture below was stolen from Auntie Cindy's Facebook album. Thanks, Cindy!

A couple of tired kiddos on the long drive home from Maine.....
