Happy Girls

Here's some very cute pictures our our good friend, Gia feeding Asa. She was so excited - you should have seen the smile on her face when I asked if she would help me feed Asa. And as you can see Asa loved it too!

Three Amigo's

Yesterday we had a fabulous little picnic at Volunteer Park with Miles, Gia, & Momma Shannon.  It was great to see them as it has been FOREVER!  The kiddos took to playing in no time! Off to the wading pool where they played 'alligator' with some older kids.

Gia, Dylan, and Miles - three amigos

Gia did awesome and made it all the way across the monkey bars - several times even.  Nice job Gia!

Popsicle time - YUM!

"Look at me, I'm a Penguin"

Super fun day!

A Day At The Beach With Friends

Luckily we made it to the beach just before summer ended. We met our good friends Miles, Gia, and Momma Shannon for a super fun day of sand, sun, and wading (and the Momma's got to catch up a bit). So great to see everyone! It had been far too long.

BFF's Together Again

Here's Dylan, Miles & Gia ~ the trio's back together! It's been a while but it was just like old times. Dylan loves Miles, Gia, and Momma G!

Children's Museum With Miles And Gia

Here's a few photo's from our adventure to the Children's Museum with our BFF's, Miles and Gia. The kids had lots of fun running around and exploring. Here they are driving to their sailboat.

Captain Gia runs a tight ship!

Miles and D are just kicking back and enjoying the open seas.

We discovered a whole section of the museum that we hadn't been to before - the grocery store, hardware store, AND the metro bus. Can't believe it was there this whole time and we've never seen it before. Well we all know how Dylan loves food so to have a whole grocery store including shopping carts, cashier station, and play food all to herself was out of this world F.U.N.!!! Here's a shot of Dylan and Miles behind the bakery counter trying out some of the pretend goodies.



After shopping we moved on to the building department. Here's Dylan getting into costume. Move over Bob the Builder we have a new tool time gal in town.


"This bus is in need of some repairs, and I've got just the tools to fix it."

Able to fix a metro bus with just one tool (and she figured out the right tool to use all on her own, guess she's been paying attention to her dad out in the garage).


Looks like Metro is up and running again - thanks Dylan!

Here's Miles and Gia working really hard on a project.

After all that playing it was time for some real grub. Thanks Miles, Gia, and Shannon for a super fun morning!

Kiddie Pool Time

Suns out and there are kiddie pools awaiting! One afternoon Dylan and I met our good friends Miles, Gia, and Shannon at the Volunteer Park kiddie pool for a little splashing time fun.

Here's the line up of trouble - Dylan in the background, Miles in the middle, and Gia out front.

Dylan down blowing bubbles.

Then d headed straight out to the big boys who were playing tag or something. She so wanted to join in.

Splashy, Splashy, Splashy. What a little fish.

Kiddo~palooza

Oh boy, what a day we had. Holy kidapalooza batman!!!! It was like an old re-union - Gia, Miles, and Avery came over for a playdate. It had been ages since we've all gotten together. It was great fun and the age difference between all the kiddo's seems to be reducing. They all had a great time pretend cooking, reading, playing, eating, playing, chasing Maggie, and playing some more. Good times were had by all - there was even a pacifier exchange.

Miles and Gia came over first. They were greeted at the door with a big smile from Dylan and then instantly whisked over to the coffee table for some pretend latte making fun - everyone got a cup and a spoon. Let's just say there were some mean fake lattes happening - mine was delicious.

"Hi Gia, wanna play?"

"Okay, let's make some lattes, the big people will love them."

"Okay so you stir and stir and stir...."

".... and stir...."

"You got it Gia."

"So now after stirring and mixing we sample our goods..."

Miles has moved on to the minnie Maggie dog.

Dylan is still sampling while Miles is making a phone call.

Now the game has turned to chase Maggie, although Maggie is trying to nap.

"Okay, now I'm going to push you Miles, in my really cool wagon. Hang on."

The girls at the snack bar refueling for the next adventure.

In enters Avery who is instantly handed a spoon. "Hello Avery and welcome to my house. We are play cooking, here's a spoon for you to join along."

Avery and his mom Fon.

Gia LOVED Dylan's rocking horse!

A precious moment between two friends.

The farmer in the Dell, the farmer in the Dell....

Tube time.
"Come on Avery, it's fun."

"That's it! Nice job."

Awe, so much fun!

Dylan showing the gang all her hard work out in the garden.

Avery took to Maggie quite well - or was it the other way around.

Oh boy the freezer ~ so cold and so much fun.

Another precious moment between friends.

Thanks everyone for coming and playing - it was a super fun time.
