Owen's Big Party


On Saturday, we had the big party with almost all of our family to celebrate Owen's first birthday. It was sooo wonderful to see everyone and have everyone together.
Mommom outdid herself again and made the most beautiful and amazing cake!!! Really, it deserves a blog post all itself! :) Our friends, the Jacksons, came and it was fun to have Isaac meet the cousins. Thank you everyone for traveling all the way down to Delaware to celebrate our boy! We love you all so much.
I think the birthday boy enjoyed himself. :)

4th of July Fun!

In the morning, we went to the pool and enjoyed swimming with the boys. My mom came because my Dad was away visiting his father for the weekend and it was really fun to have her with us! We then went to the Goodsell's house for a BBQ with great food, sparklers, fireworks, and fun. After that, we all headed to the park in Middletown for the annual fireworks show. Jason and Megan brought glow sticks for the boys which they loved. Jason is a grill master and the food was sooo good. He also set off some fireworks which the boys loved (and so did we!). What a FUN day. Dave and I agree that the 4th of July is our second favorite holiday. We love the summer, bbq's, friends, fireworks, and the freedom that we enjoy in our country.









































Holiday Weekend Fun

We had such a fun weekend enjoying the beautiful weather! On Friday, we headed down to Lewes for the day and went swimming in the ocean and played in the sand all day. The water was surprisingly warm and the boys loved it!
