Summer time!!

We have managed to keep pretty busy this summer, even though its been blazing hot out! Instead of doing a post for every little thing I thought I would just put up a few pictures from here and there... Hope this finds the rest of you having a great summer!

CIRCUS

We went to the circus with Mimi and the O'shaughnessy's. Such a fun night!! Quinn loved the elephants and the tigers the most, and he had his first cotton candy!

PLAYTIME WITH SOFIE

This little girl is like the baby girl I never had. We love her to pieces and her mom and I are already planning her and Quinn's wedding...Lets keep our fingers crossed :) I just love this picture of the two of them.

SOFIE'S 1ST BIRTHDAY

THE LAKE

We got to go out on the lake with Ken, Stephanie, Scarlett and Connor. My first time going since I was little and Quinn's first time ever! What a fun day.

4TH OF JULY!

This year we went to the parade in the morning and had a big block party in our neighborhood. We have a lot of friends who live in our neighborhood which made it really nice. Lots of kids, lots of food, lots of fun! There was a bounce house for the kids and a band who came and played in the middle of the street. The week before 4th of July my grandparents and cousin from Virginia came to visit. They got to celebrate the 4th with us also, fun times!

NEW YORK

Jon and I took our first vacation ALONE since our honeymoon! It was a very quick trip, but worth every second. We had an absolute blast in NYC. We saw wicked, ate lots of food, got massages, took a tour of Manhattan, saw lots of "touristy stuff", stayed up super late (so exciting right), and just enjoyed each others company! A trip we definitely won't forget about for a long long time. We want to go every year!

ESCAPING THE HEAT?

Besides going to the pool and this indoor park/play place we found we have mostly been staying inside to escape the heat. Quinn hates being inside, from the minute he wakes up he begs to "go outside mommy!" We have no grass in our backyard for him to run around on so we resorted to water balloons and the hose outside. He had lots of fun, and it was cheap and easy.
