Happy Birthday Ari and Auntie Hey Hey!

This weekend the kids and I headed up to Baltimore for a visit with all of our favorite people. Friday we headed up to see Aunt Nancy and Baby Clare while Uncle Clark headed down to see us for a boys weekend with Daddy. Gwennie loved spending time with Clare (who will forever be known as "Baby Clare until she's well into her 30's) and teaching her all sorts of stuff! Hudson could have spent days climbing up and down the stairs and taking a ride on their roller coaster.

Saturday was Ari's big birthday bash and as you can see from the pictures, it was a Superhero party. Auntie Hey Hey and Uncle Alan made capes for all the kids to decorate. It was pretty fabulous! All of the kids had a blast. Here is a picture of Gwennie with Bat Girl (Stacey). In case you are wondering what the kids dressed up as...Gwennie was Fancy Nancy and Hudson was Charlie Brown...we decided to go with Super Nancy and Super Charlie!

After the party we headed to Alan and Heather's for the rest of the weekend and as you will see from the pictures and video...Ari's new Jeep made for hours of fun. Matthew and Hudson also got a turn in the Jeep but Gwennie and Ari pretty much occupied the seats all Saturday afternoon.

Soccer and Gaga...

Gwennie started her first week of soccer! Unfortunately she also started her first week of a stomach bug so she made it to practice but was unable to make her first game :-(

Overall it looks as though she really will enjoy soccer (especially because her buddy Ayla is there with her!) and we hope she doesn't get too mad at mommy being an assistant coach.

Saturday I headed to Lady Gaga with cousin Page and her friend Jennifer. As you can see...it was as sequin studded event!

Arizona!

This week the kids and I headed to Arizona for some quality GeeGee and PopPop time. As you will see from the hundreds of pictures, a majority of our time was spent in the water and on the boat! I am pretty sure Hudson would have slept in the golf cart if we let him. Usually if we weren't in the boat, the kids were sitting on the golf cart waiting to go for a ride! We also got to meet Kipper their new dog! She's very friendly...and very much a puppy. Gwennie loved Kipper so much that I am pretty sure the dog was relieved to see us go. Here are a TON of pictures from the week!
