A Day with Dad & the Car Wash!

We had a great family-day for Father's Day which included a 3-mile jog (and Chloe rode her bike the WHOLE way!!), lunch and swimming at the pool...and then Chloe and Drew helped Brian wash my car. They both were sooooo into it, we seriously thought about maybe hiring them out to the neighbors! I don't know if it was the matching "Reds" hats or just the fact that they were doing something fun with Dad, but it was definitely one of those unplanned special moments that make you smile! (The last picture is what pure exhaustion looks like!)

Father's Day 2010

Here are a few pictures from our Father's Day get together at our house. The highlight of the day no doubt was Chloe asking Gramps to play "Bingo" with her, and watching him listen to her "teach" him the rules--priceless!

Parky's Farm

Chloe's party at Parky's Farm was so much fun--I never thought it would be so neat to a bunch of kids interacting together, but it was so neat to see Chloe with all her friends in one place! She honestly wasn't quite sure what to think at first, but then she figured out that being the first in line for pony rides and all the activities was pretty cool! And there has never been another child who enjoys being the center of attention like Chloe, so she was in her element!

Chloe's 4th Birthday

Chloe's birthday last week was like a marathon of events--we made brownies to take to her friends at Nancy's, had a special birthday breakfast on her birthday, then opened presents and celebrated in the evening of her birthday....all before her big party over the weekend! Whew...thank goodness birthdays only come once a year--they are exhausting!

First Family Day on the new boat

We had a very successful first day as a family out on the boat today--after a rainy morning we were one of the first boats out, which was just fine with me! And by early afternoon, everyone was ready for a nap! I was just glad that I had packed a "buddy" for Chloe, even it was technically Drew's (notice the blue color!)

Swinging and Jumping!

Here are a few pictures of the kids swinging at the park and jumping on pillows at home--definitely 2 of their favorite activities!
