Green Lakes with the Olivers

We went to Green Lakes on the day it was going to be 100- My friends Nicole and Keith came to visit with their boys. We all had a blast at the beach. It was surprisingly cool on the water.

Great tailgaters!

Can't we just sit here mom? do we really have to walk all the way around the stadium to our seats?

We went to a Syracuse Chiefs game on Beckys work. it was fun. We got to see Billy Baldwin throw out the first pitch AND we got atleast 5 post-it pads! Great toys for the kids :)

Portville Fun

We had lots of fun in Portville, Ethan LOVED playing with Mindy...Audrey didn't care very much for her. Audrey spent 75% of her time in the pool. We grilled pizza and picked fresh blueberries. If it wasn't soooo hot it would have been way better.

not interested in blueberries - "its too hot"

Happy Father's Day 2011

We had a wonderful Father's Day weekend...we got 10 yards of mulch delivered Saturday morning... Ryan's idea, not mine - I wouldn't have signed up for this on mothers day weekend, that's for sure. we spread a little and then zipped to the pool- waited until the kids went down for a nap and spread all the mulch for the front yard- I didn't get a before picture but here is after-

This is the the before and after of the backyard. we waiting until the kids went to bed- because its near impossible to do thing with them running around and its cooler at 7pm. we finished almost all of it saturday night and had maybe 10 more wheelbarrels full to finish sunday. Luckily our neighbor had let us borrow a second wheelbarrel and a pitchfork. A pitchfork made it so much easier!

So much nicer looking huh?
