Our baby went to kindergarten!!!!

Peyton's 1st day of Kindergarten. He is going to the Red Hill Christian School's modified kindergarten program. We walked him there and it didn't hit me until we were on our way back home. Dropping him off and leaving him was easy until we started to think about where we were leaving him. :) At least I still have one more year until he gets on the bus!

Peyton's 5th Birthday Party

Peyton had a Transformer Birthday Party!

Piper's a little squished, but not too bad of a shot with 3 of them to coordinate.

Ring pops were the hit of the party. (Cousins: Peyton, Aubrie, Braycee, & Rylan)

Wearing their Opitmus Prime masks.

Group shot.

Opening gifts with lots of little helpers. :)

Blowing out the candles.

The cake.

Pinata that of course didn't work (like every year)!

Getting ready for the pinata.

These photos are a little backwards, but you get the point. :)

Ocean City, NJ

Last minute we decided to go to the beach for 2 days. We went with Jeff's mom who was a huge help keeping our rugrats under control! Thanks Mom! :)

Peyton loved playing skeeball.

We went on a train ride.

Peyton rode on his first roller coaster and he was terrified the whole time! He isn't too fond of rides!

Piper hanging out in the stroller while Peyton rode on the rides.

Peyton spent most of the day in the water!

Jeff and the boys swimming!

Family shot

Parker loved the sand!

Can you tell? :)

Checking out the water.

Peyton turns 5!!

Our "baby" turned 5!!! Can't believe how fast time goes.


Parker enjoyed Peyton's birthday too!

Random photos

Gotta love the cheeks...


I let Parker have a Kid's Cuisine meal and he had fun painting with the pudding!

The boys sitting still together - a rare moment caught on camera!
Love dressing Piper in skirts and dresses.

Peyton loves to take pictures... this is what resulted. Not too bad!

Pool time fun

Brothers

Piper

Finally we have found some medicine that works for Piper and she's a happy little girl these days. She's also HUGE! (not something a girl wants said about her) I'm anxious to see what she weighs on the 18th at her 2 month appt. She was almost 12 lbs a month ago.

Believe it or not, she's only 9 wks and already looks like a 3 month old! But you gotta love those cheeks. :)

The park

On Sunday Jeff wanted to go to a local park that we can only go to if both of us are around because of how big this place is. Its too hard to keep track of the kids without one with each of them. Well even though it hadn't rained that hard here at home, the park was under water. We had already gotten them out of the car and started to let them play before we realized just how bad it was. By that time they had both found the water and were playing in it. I just laughed and took pictures. Jeff on the other hand, was NOT thrilled that they were doing this. (as I mentioned before he is not one for messes) The boys had a ball!

This was before they really got in the water.

Zoo

This year vacation wasn't really in the cards with a newborn added to the circus, so we went to the Philadelphia Zoo and had a great day.
This is Peyton and Jeff riding the Zoo Balloon.
Peyton: "Mommy, Daddy, Look it has Action News on it!"
Jeff and Tanya talking to each other: "How does he know what Action News is?" :) (for those of you out of state - that is a local news station that is a sponsor of the Zoo Balloon and their emblem is printed on the side of the balloon)

This is how Parker spent a little bit of time while Jeff and Peyton rode in the boats. He had just woke up from a little nap.

Yes, that's Piper under that hat. :)

This is how Piper spent the ENTIRE day!! It was hot too, but she slept the whole time. She loves the sling.

Peyton and Jeff rode the Swan boats. Peyton loved being able to steer it.

This year the newest attraction is the carousel. The boys loved it!! Parker was a little nervous at first, but warmed up to it.

Peyton loves Jaguars so he was loving the idea of riding on one.

Jeff and the boys rode on the train as well.

Peyton loved putting his head in all these and standing with all the animal statues!
