A Sleepover with KK

My niece Kailey came for a sleepover after our festivities on Labor Day at Grandma's house. Here are a few pics of the place that our wedding ceremony will take place. Don't worry it will be much more spectacular when I'm done with it...lol

Then we had Kailey over....we had so much fun! It was so nice to have a little two(almost) year old in the house. I truly miss those days.....I miss their sweet little hands and feet the most. I really couldn't get her to actually look at the camera. So I took the best pictures that I could.

Of course she had to have a bath after the long day of playing..Aidan took one with her and she would not be happy if I posted pics...lol

I had to put her in an ovesized T-shirt. I love little kids in big T-shirts.

It was also a very big night for Aidan...the poor girl inherited my hairiness...and had grown really really really long hair in her legs. So long that you could probably brush it....really! She took a little ridicule about it at school, which I also remember getting in dance class. So I naired it for her....yes I removed the hair from her calves...am I a bad Mom for not standing up to peer pressure?

The next day when the kids went to school is when KK and I really were able to spend time together. I get no love when her cousins are around....we colored, watched her favorite Dora, danced, andchased eachother around. Such a good girl!

Pizza...and a walk at the park!

What is better than a five dollar pizza, your favorite kids, and a cool afternoon walk? The kids and I(Matt was at work) enjoyed their second to last day of summer vacation at Blendon Woods....where I could share with them some of my new knowledge on local plant life! So fun...

I love nature....

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Tyler Smith

This weekend we went to the wedding of Sarah Guntrum and Tyler Smith. I have actually known both of them since high school, it was really nice to see all of their children and family get to enjoy such a remarkable day. It was also fun to get dressed up!

I love this picture of Blaise Blowing bubbles....he is always so well behaved!

I only got a few pictures of the wedding...I figured my camera is not good at all at inside photos so I better leave that tp the professionals! Here is one of Aidan and Kyle Vittorio(Sarah's son) and Ashley Vittorio(Sarah's daughter).

King's Island 2009

Wow...what a hot, humid, and fun fun day! I love King's Island, and have been going there since I was a little kid. I remember riding on the Beastie, King Cobra, The Beast of course....among others! This year we went with Mom, Jut and Sarah....it was actually Sarah's first time ever!!!!! I love the rides, and the excitement...it is like being a kid all over again. The lines were not long for almost everything....unfortunately I forgot to take Dramamine, so after getting right on the Vortex, Beast, and Diamondback...I was ready to lose my stomach and had to send Matt for some.
The Vortex is one of those coasters that you love and hate all at once....it has the best of all the thrills, and I love it...I just get a little beat up in the process. The Beast was our second ride and of course it is a classic....

By far one of the best coasters that I have ever been on is the new one Diamondback....it is smooth, but you are held in the seat by what seems like nothing! Look at Sarah's face in the last pic...sheer terror!

I think that people should read the posted signs.....

The next pictures involves a cruel trick that I have played on every kid in the family....now it was Kailey's turn....anyone that has seen the bridge over Congo Falls...knows how this will end!
The highlight of my day way taking Aidan on her first Beast ride...we rode in the very back seat(which was not a very good idea) and Aidan screamed the whole time Mommy you lied, and Mommy are you ok????? Poor baby....in one of the dark parts she let out this blood-curdling scream! She survived and in the end said it was her favorite ride.

We also went to the top of the Eiffel Tower...which was a first for all of us!
