Belly - 7 weeks to go

Almost 7 weeks till our due date!  It's coming fast and the belly is growing nice and big!  Can't wait to see what this kicking, squirming fool that's giving me heartburn looks like!! :)

The Fun Park

Every year ESPN has our family picnic day at Lake Compounce - a great local amusement/water park.  It's closed for the day to the public so it's just employees and their families which is awesome - no lines (for the kiddie rides anyway) - free food and drink - fireworks...  James was soooo excited to go this year to the "fun park" and wanted to ride on everything!  Last year he was very hesitant but this year there was no stopping him and nothing scared him!

He couldn't WAIT to get in that sports car!

James and his friend Kacee ridin the swings!

He couldn't wait to get on the roller coaster!!  We thought he would be terrified but he wanted to go on it again!

Uggg...thank god I couldn't ride this with him...one of those rides that go around and around and around really fast.  Dave was so dizzy afterwards!

Riding on his "motor my cul cul"

Misc Aug Pics

What a little creep!!  He was mad at me for making him take a nap so his revenge was to take off his pullup and put it on his head!!! 

My boys husking corn in the dusk.  Too cute.

Goofballs James and Alexa playing dress up!

Ski Show and Fishing

A fun day at Bantam Lake with the Bantam Ski Club Show.

James was loving watching all the skiers and everything else going on that day.

Henry checking out the ski show.

More skiers.

Dippin the toes but not quite ready to jump in like his big cousins and Daddy.

Play time with Papa Jim.

Pyramids...how cool is that!

Snuggle time with his Nana.

Typical boys obsessed with bugs!!!  YUCK!!!

Nice fishy...

Moose taking a rest on the boat.  Too cute!

Addelyn Turns One!

Baby Addy turns one already!!!  The birthday girl had a blast at her Dora The Explora themed b-day party.

Mom and Dad went nuts with maps and activities and prizes for all the kids!  I was exhausted just looking at all they had done - can't imagine organizing it all!

James and Daddy playing "gutter ball".

Playing horseshoes - watch out Papa Jim...James is really good at it!

Jake, Addy and Reese checking out the map to see what their next activity was.

James at the fishing venue...right up his alley!

Reese having a blast fishing too!

Reese and James taking a dip to cool off.  

James didn't feel like waiting to change into his bathing suit!

Baby Jake getting soooo big!

Karey starting the real party by pouring Crisco on the slide....sooooo much faster and more fun!

James was SUPER fast on the crisco slide and couldn't get enough.

Samantha & Caden

We had a great visit with Samantha and Caden.  It was so good to see them and for the boys to have some play time together and for us moms to catch up in person.  They played so great together and had so much fun. It's too bad they didn't live closer so we could see them more often...or maybe it's a good thing...I think these guys could get into some serious trouble together!!

The boys taking a ride on the John Deere.  So cute!

Mommy and Son...so precious!

Once Caden found the train table we hardly saw him again!  Should have hidden it till after lunch!  I think I know what Caden needs for his b-day this year!

They played so nicely together and were so cute cuddled up in the chair playing with their choo choos!

Hugs for his buddy...he doesn't want him to go!

Just kidding Daddy!!  No hugs for us...we'll stick with the high fives instead!

Can't wait for our next play date!  Miss you guys!

Visit with Jake

Justina and Jake came for a visit.  Jake has gotten soooooo big since we last saw him.  What a cutie!!!  The boys had so much fun together and James was so sweet with him.  Let's just hope it was a preview of how he'll treat his baby brother!!!
