I Scream! You Scream! We all Scream for Ice Cream!

Jason and I decided it would be a great day to get ice cream since it was in the high 80's today and oh so hot!! Plus, we haven't gone out for ice cream this year except for once in the DQ drive through and that technically does not count.  Jason had a hair cut after work, so we decided to meet after that. We both thought Audrey was going to devour the ice cream but she proved us wrong (I thought parents were never wrong?) and wouldn't have a single bite. Never the less, we still had a lot of family fun hanging out in the gazebo that is just off the parking lot to the shop.

THE #1 ice cream place in our neighborhood!

"Daddy...I'm not eating that"

"Mommy... I'm not eating that"

All smiles in her new dress!

Our 4th of July Weekend

We had a very busy 4th of July weekend. We kicked off the weekend with a cookout down the street and Audrey had a blast swimming in her friend Melina's pool. We also headed to Jason's parents house for a cookout and swimming. And we hosted a cookout at our house for my family. All in all, it was a great time with the people we love the most!!

This picture reminds me of Mary Poppins

Zoo

Jason and I couldn't think of a better way to spend our 8 year anniversary then at the Zoo with our little beauty. It was such a fun and perfect family day!

Broccoli!

I have not quite figured out Audrey's facination with broccoli - cooked or raw, she just can't get enough of it. Like mother, like daughter??

"Here mommy, have some"

Cheers!

Going.....

Going.....

Gone!!

Summer Storytime

Today was the first day of summer storytime at the library. Audrey's first experience in a large group setting school type atmosphere. She really enjoyed listening and observing. We were also happy that Audrey's friend Melina is in our group!!

Sitting in the front of the room waiting for class to begin

Audrey could not wait for the librarian so she decided to try getting in her chair and directing this herself!

Chasing the librarian after storytime was over "wait, wait just one more song!"

Jason's Masters Degree!

YAHOO FINALLY!! We are all so excited Jason is finished with class and traveling to and from Ohio State for class. I am so proud of him. Here are some pictures of his graduation weekend!

This must be the biggest pout face ever!!!

Audrey's 15 month Dr. Visit

Yesterday was Audrey's 15 month Doctor appointment. Weighing in at 21 pounds 15oz (25-50% range), 29-1/2" tall (25% range) and 100% range on sugar, spice and everything nice! Here is a shot of her playing with her cell phone while waiting for the doctor. Notice the sign above her - it was cut off in the picture but it says to stay off of your cell phone while in the room - hehehehehe......

Also, just for fun and since I LOVE pictures - here is a very candid shot of Audrey at her 1 year checkup with Jason and Doctor.She has really sprouted in the past three months!
