Our first Phillies game as a family!

A wonderful gift from the in-laws.

They lost the game, but we still had an amazing time.

Can’t wait to do it again

More Wordless Wednesday visit 5 Minutes for Mom!

Last Wednesday I was introduced to something wonderful.

Something that may have changed my life forever.

In fact, of all my years of partaking in Dairy Queen’s amazingly yummy candy filled blizzards, I had never thought to do this.

After we were married, Brian showed me a new way of getting a blizzard.

Infusing my love of Reese’s peanut butter cups with chocolate ice cream instead of the standard vanilla.

It was a beautiful love affair.

Until my friend Jill showed me a new path.

She had ordered a blizzard with Reese’s, Butterfinger and brownie.

It had never occurred to me to have more than one candy in my blizzard.

*whispers*

I have a new love.

(You must be quiet about this as I don’t want to hurt my old lovers feelings.)

My wonderful, amazing husband brought me home my much desired, new lover tonight.

Isn’t he so sweet!

I got to indulge in all things peanut butter.

And I enjoyed every last spoonful!

What’s your favorite DQ Blizzard concoction?

You might just expand my horizons to a new level!

We spent yesterday morning at home.

Homework pages.

Cleaning up the house.

Visiting Kamryn’s (the girl’s friend from down the street) new kitten, Griffen.

Eating lunch.

Then pool time!!

Sam, Alex, Lillian, Katie, Brianna and Isaac humoring me and my wanting to take a picture!

I told him to say “cheese” in the first picture.

Fruit “nacks” and a drink!

Mommy and son with curls!

Break time!

Snacks and some sun.

We spent about 2 hours in the pool!

Alex was jumping (with my help of course) off the side by the end of the afternoon.

We had loads of fun.

Then it was off to visit Jason, Daphne and baby Naomi!

Proud Dad, Jason, holding 3 day old Naomi!

Daphne and me finally getting my hands on the baby!

Loving her dark hair!

Precious Naomi!!

I’m in love, she is so incredibly sweet!!

Looks just like Jason.

I forgot what it felt like to hold a newborn.

So soft, and they just curl up into you.

Amazing blessing!

Heather and Beth playing with the kids.

You’re never to old for cheap entertainment, I mean balloons!

B and Katie’s get their turns holding the baby!

Another fantastic summer day!

Our rainy day turned out to be a whole lot of fun!

We ended up going to the movies at the dollar theater and getting there late, so we got tickets to Alice in Wonderland.

The new movie and time gave us 40 minutes to kill.

Brianna had noticed a Petland from the parking lot and suggested we go there.

The following ensued:

The girls fell in love with a kitten.

So did I. We all took turns holding and snuggling the cute little thing.

Sadly, Brian has already said the following many times over:

“Read my lips, no more pets!”

Alex touched the kitten for a millisecond before running amok in the store!

Too many animals to see.

Too many balls to take off the shelves!

Katie has been talking about this kitten non-stop. She desperately wants to bring it home.

She even came up with a plan of having her Nana bring her so she could buy it with her own money!

Alex enjoyed following this turtle all over the store.

This was one quick turtle too, it went everywhere.

Up and down aisles, from the front to the back of the store.

Brianna proud and in awe of the sweet sleeping kitty!

Katie wasn’t impressed, she was ready to take her turn regardless of waking the kitten from her nap!

I made sure we sat in the back so that if Alex disturbed the peace I could take him out of the theater.

We all shared a big drink and a medium popcorn.

Passed it back and forth.

Katie and Alex needed booster seats to see.

About 5 minutes into the movie Alex decided he was ready to run from seat to seat.

He climbed up on one and got stuck!

So I took him to the hallway.

Then back to the movie where I held and rocked him in the back until he fell asleep 30 minutes in.

He woke up during the credits.

The girls and I enjoyed Alice in Wonderland.

I like Tim Burton and Johnny Depp is always a classic in quirky roles!
