Why does it seem like I am always a month behind on my posting?  I try so hard to keep up but I just always fall behind. Anyways- over the 4th of July weekend we had a fun family extravaganza at my parents’ house.  I took a bunch of pictures of the fun filled weekend so I am going to break them up into a few posts.

On Friday night everyone came in from out of town to stay either at my parents’ house or at our house. Everyone came over here for dinner and we had a great time having everyone at our house.  I didn’t take any pictures the first evening

On Saturday morning we got up and Hailey and her cousin Anika went outside to play while we waited for everyone to get ready to go over to my parents house for some famous omelets made by my Uncle Dave.

Hailey was so excited to have someone to play with in her house.

I tried to get them to pose for a picture, but it didn’t work out too well.

Having fun on Hailey’s little slide.

Not sure exactly what they were planning here…

Once everyone who stayed at our house was all ready to go, we went over to my parents’ house and had a very filling breakfast.  It was delicious!  We all ate until we couldn’t eat any more.  Then some of the fun activities began.

Listening to Vicki telling something interesting.

Uncle Dave told Hailey and Anika he was going to jump into the baby pool with them.

The weather was perfect for everyone to enjoy some pool time.

More to come soon…

I’m almost caught up with my blogging- woo hoo!  I’m only about a week and half behind.  Here are some pictures from Father’s Day:

Hailey enjoyed this fun little water slide!

Last weekend was Brooke’s graduation party.  It’s so hard to believe that she’s already done with high school.  The years went by way too fast!  I spent most of the party keeping an eye on Hailey while she played on the playground and went swimming, so I didn’t get many pictures of Brooke.  Thankfully Brooke’s mom got some good pictures so I’m going to post her pictures.

A couple of weekends ago we went to visit my cousin Beka, her husband Bill and their daughter Anika for Memorial Day weekend.  Here’s some pictures of our fun weekend:

Right after we arrived Anika showed Hailey her princess dresses- they had so much fun dressing up!

After the girls played for a little while we headed out to go see Curious George Live!

Anika and Hailey loved it!!

The next day there was lots of time for Hailey and Anika to play together.

We stopped at Treasure Island to do a little exploring.

We almost lost Rich off the side of a cliff.  hahaha

We tried to get Hailey and Anika to pose but they weren’t really into posing for me.

My Little Miss

Hailey got her first bug bite while were walking in the woods.  I don’t know why but the bugs never seem to bother her- she spends lots of time outside.  But she got her first bug bite during this trip.

The next day we had fun toasting marshmallows by the fire.

All dressed in red, white and blue for Memorial Day

On our way home we stopped at a furniture store that sells Adirondack stuff and Hailey posed for a picture with this bear.
