For the fourth we made red, white and blue tie-dyed shirts and then totally dorked out, with the three of us wearing them with khaki shorts. Then we went over to our friends Mike, Sara and Landon’s house for a cookout.
We finally did our tie-dye project in the days before July 4th. Our red, white and blue concoctions had some good and bad points but it was a lot of fun and not even a big mess!
The funny thing is all my hard work ended up not being on MY shirt but Jeff’s shirt. His turned out well while mine ended up looking like an abstract art canvas. Hayley called it that, which is pretty cool that she gets art forms but I digress. She decided to just speckle the heck out of hers and what we thought was Jeff’s but ended up as mine. Even messy they were fun and cute. She loved making them and we are definitely going to do it again.
And I’ll have you know the people working at a local grocery store thought we were very cool in our shirts. We had a really good time at the Rodgers, as always. Hayley loves to play with Landon and he loves to mimic her. We ate, goofed off, played the Wii and watched the kids be silly.

I love traditions and for the fourth year in a row, we’ve decorated eggs with our next door neighbors and done a big hunt in the morning across our front yards for the kids. It’s so fun to do this with them each time and watch our kids grow up together.
A few days before the big hunt, we had more friends join us for decorating so it was a lot of fun – and a lot of mess but that’s part of the fun!

This might have been the longest party circuit ever! Cupcakes at school, big cookie at soccer, family party at home and then big party with friends at WiiBounce. WiiBounce is half flat screens and Wiis and half bouncy inflatables.
It was SO FUN. We didn’t take a ton of photos because we were having so much fun. The idea of having her friends bring pet items for the shelter instead of gifts was a huge success. Kids had fun getting them, parents didn’t have to worry about wrapping and getting the right stuff and we didn’t have to worry about unwrapping so the kids played longer. We’ll take all the stuff to the SCPA soon too!
The family party was fun too, she got her Wii and all sorts of goodies to go with it. Everyone joined in playing the Wii, even the grandparents!

My college roommate Nicole and her son Mason came to visit in April and we had a great time. We went to the Museum of Life and Science and then Monkey Joes.
Nicole is always great fun to hang out with because she loves to do cool stuff with the kids – not to mention I just adore her and her son too!

Cute photos from our friend Landon’s first birthday party. It was amazing to think just a year ago we were visiting Mike, Sara and Landon in the NICU.

We’ve got a pile of photos from the Baltimore trip! Check out them for shots of the soccer games, National Aquarium, Dolphin Show, misc ones and ones from Hayley’s camera.
We had so much fun! Our hotel was right down from the Ravens stadium and the hotel ran a free shuttle to downtown Baltimore. We went downtown with friends and had a blast. Hayley was tracked out so we stayed an extra day to do the museum.
Soccer was pretty rough though. They moved up our team of U10 girls to the U11 division which meant much bigger and stronger kids. But they worked hard and had fun!

Photos from Halloween night. I didn’t take a ton of photos this year. Hayley went as Sharpay from HS Musical, but I had her put a shirt on underneath and wear practical shoes. Yeah yeah yeah, I’m a downer like that but it never really matters because she is just cute as a button all the time.

Hayley got to help me babysit Landon who is our friends Sara and Mike’s son. It was so fun to have a sweet baby around. Some of you might remember the photos of him in the NICU months ago. He’s happy and doing awesome now!
