May and June

her smile kills us...watch out boys

Daddy Love

 

 I had a sweet date with my girl at Zoe's Kitchen.  

 Davis had his first date with the corner....it's pitiful, but cute.  Reminded me of a similar picture of Nora a few years ago :) You can see it in the post here.

 Nora's dance class was held in the big studio one day were we could watch and take some pictures. She's the one wearing pink in the back. 

 waiting at the door...our routine for getting out of the house. 

 Davis always wants to "help you" or "helping"

 making banana pudding

D wanted to help do this too, but i thought it would be best if he just ate some graham crackers and watched :)

 movie night outside!  Daddy makes everything we do more fun!

 the last meal of my 20's spent back at Zoe's.  I love that place!

 D learning the fun of going shishi on trees :)

 when we won't give him a snack...

 someone decorated our trash can

 helping with folding clothes is usually a disaster and mommy won't let him, so sitting in the basket is the next best thing. 

 boys and their games

  ice cream with Nana and Poppy

 High Heels and Baseball Caps

The Luchetta Triplet's birthday party at the Little Gym.   The kiddos had a great time trying new things!

 

 attempting a large group picture...never did quite work out. 

this picture cracks me up..hopefully my husband will still love me when he sees it posted here :)

 icee pops in the summer are the best!

 Davis always brings toys downstairs from his bed every morning.  He is usually standing up with the toys in his arms waiting for us when we walk in to get him.  On this morning he had his hat on too.  Guess we left it within his reach from the crib.  

 talking to his horsey

 i just love this pic...reminds me of Where The Wild Things Are

Up, Up and Away

Nora completed her first year of dance this June.  The theme of the recital was Up, Up and Away.  I kept trying to explain to Nora what a recital is, but she never really got the picture, therefore was kind of emotionless about the whole thing.  Well...until i told her about the makeup part! 

We got to do a trial run for the professional pics a few weeks before the recital.  

with some of her friends at the studio

look at my pretty girl!

The day of the recital was long and i was in the trenches of first trimester fun...so really i was just trying to get through the day.  Nora on the other hand was soaking up/loving all of the attention she was getting from everyone!

she did great...what you'd expect from little 3 and 4 year olds...they were cute, no one cried...i'd say it was a success.  i was 'stage mom' the night before, so some of my pictures are from behind the curtains too.

she was very excited to get pretty flowers!

we were so proud of our tiny dancer

some of our family were also able to come support Nora.  Pop Pop and Grandma, Nana and Poppy, and Aunt Kelly--we appreciate you coming to watch our girl and make her day so special!
