Way Back When-esday

Cheryl over at Twinfatuation hosts this one. Go on over to see who else is playing – and join in too!

A year ago, the whole family got together for my little sister’s graduation from High School. At that time, since everyone was there, we had a professional photographer come in and take about 200 photos. I didn’t post any at the time because I hadn’t purchased any at that point. . . and when I finally got around to purchasing the photos, it was winter and it didn’t seem quite right. So now… here are the photos from last year’s photo shoot! (Please note that some of them are dark – noted with an asterisk. I didn’t realize HOW dark they were until I uploaded them, but I’m lazy and didn’t take them out of the frame to scan them *blush* )

Camping!

Mike’s camping in the back yard with all 3 kids! It’s Logan’s first time out.

Mike set up the tent from last year and quickly realized that all 4 of them weren’t going to fit…a quick trip to Target, and we’ve got a lovely green tent we’re calling “Apple” (it totally feels like you’re sitting inside a huge green apple!)

Makes My Monday: Family Time

While it’s always nice to have company, we’ve had various house guests for the past two weeks…which doesn’t leave a lot of family time.

Today, after I finished up with work, we took the kids out to eat.

Saturday Snapshot: Reading with Nana

Grandpa, Nana, and Aunt Meghan arrived from Vermont to see Maggie’s recital tonight. Aunt Cathy and Granny Frani are here too.

Nana brought books!

Meeting For the First Time

Mike’s sister, kahki, is here with her two kids, Jaine (11) and Josh (7). This is the first time that all of the cousins have met!

They’re having a *blast* – Burke and Josh are like two peas in a pod (with Logan trailing after) and Maggie can’t get enough of Jaine. Luckily, Jaine is pretty tolerant and very patient 🙂

"What'cha doing Josh?"

Mike's having fun too!

Friday’s Fotos: Tie Dye, Clubhouse, a Garden, and a Handsome Guy

This week was packed full!

Nanny Jessica did some tie dye shirts with the kids. They came out great!

Logan's Tie Dye (he's sick and not available to model it)

Grandpa, Nana, and Aunt Meghan came to see Burke and Maggie graduate yesterday. Maggie loves having a pixie-sized Nana (read: under 5 feet) to fit in the clubhouse 😉

We put our second garden in! Square Foot style: Artichokes, Asparagus, Onions, Potatoes, Carrots, Cucumbers, Cantaloupe, Melon, Peas, Green Beans, Yellow Beans, Lima Beans, Brussels Sprouts, Strawberries, Peppers, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Dill, Sage, Thyme, and Basil. *phew* (The frame is by Frame It All)

And last but not least, Mike had the opportunity to dress up this week. The man cleans up nicely!!

Five years ago, for my Dad’s 60th birthday party, we had an “incredible” time. The twins were just 3 months old, and my Grandmother was still with us. Today is my Dad’s birthday!

Happy 65th Birthday, Dad!! We love you!

Baby Picture Sundays

Debi hosts the Baby Picture Sundays. Hop on over there to see who’s playing, and join in too!

This week’s theme is It’s a SHORE Thing. I figured I’d put up a picture from Last year’s jaunt to Vermont. (Seemed fitting since I’m trying to figure out when to go back this summer 🙂 )

Makes My Monday: Helping Out

I saw yellow rose bushes at the grocery store, so I grabbed one because I think yellow roses are beautiful.

Maggie’s eyes lit up when she saw it…and she wanted to plant the bush RIGHT NOW. 🙂

Maggie’s enthusiasm (and all 3 kids wanting to help Daddy plant the bush) Makes My Monday.
