Fourth of July

We decided to get all dressed up in red, white and blue for the fireworks. :)

And can I say here that I randomly invested (if you can even call it that at under $10) in a tripod? Great investment. I highly recommend it. You can actually take a picture of your family all by yourselves! What a concept! :)

Coloring... all over ourselves :)

Thank you Grammie for sending us another fabulous package in the mail! We starting using the rubbing crayons right away. Mom didn't realize they were maybe slightly melted from coming in the mail, but we had fun covering all the paper and ourselves in crayon! Fortunately we didn't have any clothes on! :)

All ready for church

Wills insists on a few things every Sunday when he's getting ready for church:
1) he always has to wear a tie (dad wears a tie, so he has to too)
2) he wants to take his dog backpack (thank you Grammie - he still loves it!) and HE wants to carry it. even if it's heavy. :)



Wills - you are such an angel! Mommy and daddy love you so much! You are such a big helper and such a great big brother to Hannah! We couldn't ask for a better, more loving, more kind, more fun son! We love you!!!!!!

We LOVE our cousins!

Hanging out under Grandma & Grandpa's desk in MD. Couldn't be happier. :)

Wills Golfing... Like Father, Like Son

So it comes as no surprise to me that Wills is obsessed with golf... like father, like son. He's always begging to golf in the front yard with dad and has a blast doing so. So when we headed to MD for a short trip, Olivier took Wills (and his cousin Gray) to the driving range at Congressional. They had a blast! :)

Preschool Cinco de Mayo Party

So this year Wills was in a preschool co-op with 4 of his friends... Audrey, Clark, Jane, and Sydney. He had a great 1st semester of school (we did it Jan. through May). The last week was at our house, so Wills helped me make a pinata and maracas for the party. The pinata was a cheater version (after paper mache-ing the maracas I was over it, so we made the pinata by wrapping balls of newspaper (& of course candy & those little plastic jumping frog things) in the shape of a big ball and then taped paper cones all around and covered it in tissue paper to make it look like the real deal. :) When you asked Wills what was inside the pinata (expecting to hear "candy!"), he would say "newspaper, candy & frogs!". The kids danced to mariachi music, learned some spanish words, ate nachos for their snack, and then spent 30 minutes trying to pummel the pinata with a lacrosse stick. They had an absolute blast! We'll miss preschool this summer! Can't wait til next year!

Classic Hannah with a little something new :)

A scrunched nose is a classic Hannah look. And the "piggys" (as we call her pigtails) are brand new today. Her first pig tails. :) My heart melted when I put them in. I think they are ridiculously adorable. And my little girl is growing up right before my very eyes.




*And since I'm catching up on blogging and pre-dating all the posts, I can also note here that they were her last "piggys". That girl won't let me put ANYTHING in her hair. She lets other people put things in her hair, but not me. So they were pretty short lived. :)
