Fun in the sun

Today we got out our water slide so the kids could have some fun. This week is VBS at our church and my little cousins have been going with us and then coming to our house for the afternoon. It was very hot today and they had a lot of fun on the water slide.

Here are a couple of pictures of the day.

Newport Aquarium & The Lou. Zoo

We took a little over night trip to the Newport Aquarium and had planned to go to the Cincinatti Zoo but had a change of plans due to the weather. Ryan loved the "ish" . He ran from one display to another. Alayna's favorite was the jelly fish. Hannah had been there before so it was not as new to her. WE had lunch at Jonny Rockets which in my opinion is so overpriced for the quality of food you get. We ate at Rafferty's the next day and it was actually cheaper!

Here are some pictures of our trip.

Alayna got a penguin and had to put a Johnny Rocket hat on it too cute!

Ryan's 2nd Birthday at Chuck E Chesse

For Ryan's official Birthday we took him to one of his favorite places... Chuck E. Cheese.

He had a great time, he said "Mouse". He got to dance with Chuck E. but he would not stand still long enough to get his picture made with him.

I made the catepillar cake, he liked it too. He called it a "pretty cake" :)

Ryan's Birthday

I made a cake for Ryan today since his official birthday is today. When he looked at his cake he said "pretty cake". I am glad he likes it, it was fun decorating it.

We are going to Chuck E. Cheese tonight, he loves Chuck E.

I thought I would put the other picture on here too. He is feeding himself some Co Co Puffs!

Ryan's 2 nd Birthday

Where has the year went? My little boy is already 2, well not until tomorrow. But the time has flown, this time last year he was learning to walk. I have to chase after him now.

He enjoyed his party, a couple of his favorite things are on his cake. He loves "trucks and fish"

so that was what I went with for his cake.

We are planning to take him to see the big mouse (Chuck E. Cheese) on Tuesday for his real Birthday. I will try to put some of those pictures on here as well.

Hannah @ Karate

Hannah decided that she would take up Karate, so we are going to let her give it a try. It will be to her advantage to learn self defense, since she is a girl. She is getting her"form" down which is good. Her cousin Abby is also taking Karate. I just hope they don't knock each other out :)

GO DADDY!!!

Alan ran his first Mini Marathon this past Saturday. The kids and I went to cheer him on, it was fun watching all the people run or walk down the street. Alan finished in 2 hrs and 24 mins he says next year he will do it in 2 hours... we will see....

He is in the gray shirt with the black shorts.
