A family trip

As we have done for the past 5 years we headed up North for a little vacation to celebrate the end of the school year.  We headed to New Hampshire and Maine and had a wonderful time.  I love little getaways with my cute little family!

Daddy knew of this cute little beach on a lake in N.H.  The girls loved it!

I think Ella was a little cold...poor thing has no body
fat to keep her warm!

Momma and her little ducklins...

We got a little bored one morning waiting for Daddy to come back from a meeting so I took the girls outside to run around...or sit around as in Sophie's case. :)

The clan waiting for our food at Bob's clam hut.  I have to tell you that outdoor seating is perfect for our family...I don't get so embaressed when the kiddos start to get a little loud..it's so much more relaxing for momma~

Levi having some fun at the pool with his Daddy

We took the kiddos to a local zoo and they had so much fun!

Sophie was in heaven with all the animals...my earthy little girl loves her animals!

Can't wait for the rest of the summer!

oh Levi...

Where Levi goes...trouble will follow.

Oh how this little guy melts this mommas heart in so many ways...even his naughtiness! :)

Last day of Kindergarten...

Sophie and Ella just finished up Kindergarten.  What a great year they both had!  I am so proud of them both and look forward to spending the summer with them!

Sweet little Sidney had to spend the night due to flash flooding in our village.  When I was picking out the girls clothes for the next morning all the girlies put in a request that they wanted to match...I was able to find three shirts with the same print (dont ask why I would have three shirts in all the same size with the same print)...how cute are they?   And no, Ella was not driving to school as the keys in her hand suggest...just helping momma out! :)

Sophie and her wonderful teacher, Ms. Poirier...it was her first year in Kindergarten and she did wonderful! :)

Ella and her teacher, Mrs. Livingston...she had just come back from having a baby...Ella was happy to have her back!

I HEART my family!

Happy 1st Birthday, Levi!

Happy First Birthday, my sweet Levi~!  I still can't believe you are 1...it feels like just yesterday I was waking your daddy up at 4 in the morning to tell him his baby boy was coming!  And here you are today turning one year old...We love you so much, little boy!  I tell you, you have wiggled and squiggled your way into a little spot in this mommas heart that only a little boy could! 

Your sissies love you to pieces too...they were so excited to make your birthday cupcakes!

We spent the afternoon at Dairy Days so that you could check out the big tractors and animals...of course you loved it...my lil country boy!

Of course you were too young this year to enjoy feeling all the cud inside the cow with the big hole in his belly...(yes she is alive!  She is part of Cornells research department)

Then we headed home for presents and cake...I think you liked your new trucks and cars that you got!

Then we sang Happy Birthday and ate yummy cupcakes

Happy Birthday, Levi. 

Love, Daddy, Mommy, Sophie, Ella, & Abbie!
