Brady's 3rd Birthday Party!

This past Memorial Day weekend we had a family party for Brady's 3rd birthday! The weather was perfect for a party and we had agreat time! There was pinata whacking, cake eating and present opening! All the makings for a great party.

Brady's family clearly knows what he likes! He got a tool bench, trucks, a playhouse, a Cars backpack, Spiderman umbrella, dinosuars, Crocs, and more! In other words- Toys R us was bought out!

I think Brady's favorite part was picking out his cake. Anytime someone came into the house Brady would ask "Want to see my cake?!".

And to think we have more presents and partying ahead on Brady's actual birthday (May 30th)!

Gramma Sue's Birthday!

Becky, Brady & Ainsley headed to Syracuse to help Gramma Sue celebrate her birthday. (Jeff got a day to play golf and enjoy solitude.) We had a great day going to the zoo with Aunt KK and cousin Henry. We also got to party like rock stars in Gramma's honor!

The present opening event was a bit hectic, but we all made it through unscathed. :)

Miss Thang

Ainsley is really coming into her own now. She's walking all over, talking up a storm and really learning how to "work it". We're all in trouble!

Mother's Day

We all had a wonderful Mother's Day 2009! (Becky especially!) We celebrated with Nana & Papa on Saturday with a delicious steak dinner. On Sunday we celebrated again with Gramma & Grampa, and Grandma Maria & Papa Gene. Jeff put on a spectacular brunch and we even snuck in a few games of pinochle!

Check out this balloon Brady picked out for Becky. It's unforgettable!

Mountain Goat Run

We were in Syracuse to cheer on Moe and Z while they ran the Moutain Goat 10 Miler. They both had a great run, and we were among the best supporters!

Austin Wedding

Jeff and I had escaped to Austin, TX to attend Knittel's wedding (April 25th). Thanks to Nana and Papa for watching the kids for us! (Who had their own fun filled vacation.)

We enjoyed ourselves in Austin, catching up with friends, partying on someone else's dime and seeing the sights! (One sight was thousands of bats that live under the Congress Bridge.)

Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Rabasa!

And we're back!

Yes, we've had time lapse of many months, but we are back again! Some things that happened between Feb-April 2009.

- We went to Virginia to meet Gracie (Andy and Eudora's baby), and catch up with friends. It was great to see everyone and be back in VA where the sun shines! We walked by our old house, visited the old playground, went to an indoor water park, hit up a farm and more.

- Ainsley started walking! She's striding around everywhere now, and will be running soon. She's mastered the gallop at the moment.

- Becky's birthday! I got to enjoy a spa day (courtesy of my man and kids) and then capped itoff with a night away! Thanks to Gramma Sue for babysitting!

- Grammy, Jeff's grandma passed away. :( We had a memorial service for her and Papa in Rochester. It was a great celebration of family!
