National Night Out




We went to Allenview for National Night out. There were fire trucks and a smoke house for the kids to practice getting out of a fire. They had a great time. Gregory loves fire trucks. He thinks he is big enough to drive one!

Madelynn loses her 1st tooth




Madelynn has had a loose tooth for quite some time. For the last couple of days it has been really loose and I was sure it would come out when she was eating. Grammy and I worked on it all afternoon. Alexa came home from golfing and she pulled it right out. Madelynn was so excited. She told everyone she saw the rest of the day. She wrote a note to the tooth fairy asking to keep her tooth. She can't wait to get her money!!

Family visit







Greg's family from Ohio came to visit for the weekend. His aunt, 2 cousins and their 5 kids spent the weekend visiting with us. We visited Hershey Gardens and Chocolate World. On Sunday we had a family picnic at Fisher Park. It was really fun visiting with Greg's extended family. The kids had a great playing with everyone. They ran around and played. The played with balloons and threw water balloons. We went to their hotel that evening and swam. It was so nice and relaxing for the kids to swim while the adults got to visit. It was a really fun weekend and the kids are asking if they can move to PA! That's the sign of a successful weekend.

Vacation Bible School




The kids attended VBS for a week. Gregory was finally old enough to attend and we were all excited for him to participate. He was so excited. He talked about it all day until it was time to go. The theme was construction and a playhouse was built to give to a habitat for humanity family. The kids made the curtains and window boxes for the playhouse. The kids had a great time and we were all sad to see it end.

Makeover







Aunt Jenna agreed to allow Alexa to do a total makeover on her. She did her nail, toes, make-up and hair. Aunt Jenna was a good sport. She allowed Alexa to use hot pink nail polish on her nails and toes. She let her use all the make-up she wanted. Alexa thought it was fabulous. After Alexa finished, she let Jenna do her hair and make-up to match and we all went to McDonald's for lunch. It was so much fun to see the pride in Alexa's face when she looked at her Aunt Jenna!
