Sunsplash or bust!

Liah loves Sunsplash! We decided to take her for her birthday! We went with Gapa, Gaga, Aunt Manda and Aunt Lauren. Liah got a pre-present....
It was a new 'kini.
As you can tell by Dad's expression, he did not like the suit as much as Mom did!
She sure look cute though!
The next day we got up really early! (Actually Liah spent some time between 12am and 2am asking if it was time yet!)
We were on our way by 9am!

Mom and Liah were so excited they had nervous bellies!
Dad was the trusty driver!
We met up with the rest of the "party!"
Then the fun began....... (Big tube slides)

(Troubles transitioning... oh the fun!!)

(Splash pads)
(Medium slides, big slides)
(Wave pools)

(Kiddie slides)


The fun went on and on. We went on so much! What a blast. It is definitely our favorite summer place! Chlorine, sun and splashing... Oh my!


We were pretty tuckered out, water-logged and sun-kissed on the way home!

Countdown to Liah's Sweet 3!

Liah turns 3 on the 14th! She had many wishes....
We have to do a birthday photo shoot!

Maia could not be left out!
Then we were off for decorations!

The theme will be disclosed at the party!
We also bought Liah super-secret presents!
Shhhh!

29!!??

Today I turned 29! YIKES! I shall enjoy my last year of twenties! I spent the day with Chris and the girls. They got me a sweet MP3 player. Now I can put on my own concerts! :)

Home Improvement Projects

The toy room chalkboard wall is complete (that was easy!) I plan to do a neighborhood mural starring our family!
I painted the powder room, replaced the towel rack and mirror. I like how it turned out!

On to Maia's room. Good bye fish.....

Phase one.... eye removal (it was kind of sad. This was the nursery for both of our girls. bitter sweet!)
Let the painting begin! The end goal is a fairy princess room, complete with castle. The priming and base painting is done. I started the "night" sky. After that I plan to do the castle wall, then fairy murals and mirror wall! Check back for design updates!
"Big girl" room here we come!

Happy Birthday Nate!

We went to Nate's 2nd birthday!
It was a Thomas the Train swim party!

Here's the birthday boy!

Big brother Anthony turns 5 next month!
I love this picture..... birthday kisses!
Pizza for dinner! Yummy!

Cistolo's new pool/hot tub combo.... too cool! It is our new favorite place!
It's a diving pool! (Yep Mom was the jumping machine... she bravely posts a suit shot. She jumped so high Dad cut off her head!)

Cake time!

Mmmm mmmm good!

Present time!



Nate shared all of his toys!

We had so much fun..... we turned it into a sleepover!
We were very comfy! We think our Moms and Dads hung out way late!?
The next morning Aunt Lisa made tasty pancakes and we played some more!

Thanks Uncle Mike, Aunt Lisa, Anthony, Nate and JJ we had a blast!
