Proud to be an American

He finally did it after 30 years! Josh is officially a citizen of the United States. For those of you who don't know, he's from Australia.

Try playing "Where's Josh" instead of "Where's Waldo" in this picture below :) He's repeating the oath.


My little patriotic beauty.

Josh's parents took us out to the Cheese Cake Factory afterwards. It's one of our favorite places to eat!!!!

Memorial Day at Lagoon

We spent Memorial Day at Lagoon again this year. With the great weather, my work paying for it, and short lines, we just can't pass up going. The kids love it!!! Gracie was more into the rides this year. I took her on one of the Haunted House rides and after we got off she said, "Mom, that ride freaks me out." Where do they learn this stuff ?:)?:)




Gracie loves her Uncle Phil.










Devin and Vanessa are so cute together :) Have I said that before?????:)

I LOVE this picture!!!!!

Ellie's Kindergarten Graduation

I know I say this a lot and about all my kids but I just can't believe how fast the time goes. I got teary eyed at Ellie's graduation, she's growing up so fast!!!!



Ellie with her teacher Mrs. B. She has had such a great year with her and absolutely loves her. She asks me all the the time if she can have her for first grade too. Hopefully she'll still be teaching when Gracie gets to Kindergarten :)

Ellie and her best buddy Aly. They weren't in the same class this year but they both loved their teachers and had a fun year carpooling together and playing everyday after school.

We are so excited for the arrival of our beautiful new niece and cousin. She weighed in at 7lbs. 1 oz. and is 19 in. long. Mom and baby are doing great! She has two girl cousins that are going to fight over holding her every second they're with her:) Isn't she the cutest little thing ever?!?!?!

WICKED

We were able to go see "Wicked" with my mom and Josh's parents this weekend. I love this broadway musical! If you ever have a chance to go see it, DO--you'll never look at the Wizard of Oz the same again.
