summertime

I know I've been very bad about updating the blog this summer and I am really sorry about that. We have tried to enjoy our weekends as much as we can so that means getting everything done during the week. I have managed to get all the errands run and appointments taken care of so we could have fun times unfortunately that means not being home to update. Here are some of the things we have done. (I've also been bad about remembering the camera so I missed photos of six flags, the park with Ben and his family, PAWS farm day at the library and some other adventures we've been on. I'm sorry about that.

Sam had another pool party this year on Ft. Dix. Here he is with Goo Bobby in the Pool. In the center of the pool are Daddy, Aunt Sara and Pheenie.
fun in the pool...

The pool had a ton of beach balls floating around and Goo Bobby, true to form, decided to spike random children with them. As you can see this little boy who we don't know was having a good time with it. Rob will be such a good dad!

Sam venturing out on his own

My favorite picture of the day as you can see Pheenie is all legs.

Daddy injured himself somehow at work so Pheenie is playing nurse here and cleaning the wound.

Somebody got a new bike. Notice Arnold in the basket. That was actually a consideration in choosing the new bike.

The mud pie that Seraphina made from her Tiana Cookbook. This was our Litha desert and it was GOOD.

Sam and Pheenie opening a gift that came in the mail from Great Grandma, Great Aunt Susan and Great Uncle Thomas. Needless to say they were being silly.

More silliness.

Playing in the pool in the blazing heat.

We spend many weekends at the stadium thanks to Grandpa as you can see we have fun there.

Sam trying to eat a foot long hot dog.

More eating I am amazed that he is eating that much.

Goo Bobby watching the game.

Sharing a secret with Pheenie.

Helping Pheenie do the YMCA dance.

Grandpa and Pheenie sharing french fries.

As you all know A Rod is Pheenie's favorite and we were there for his 598th home run she celebrated so much that she was over heated and needed a cold rag (which she hates having on her as you can see)

Not happy with the rag

Just one of the crazy things you see in the city. It was 96 degrees and this crazy guy is dressed as spidey.

This summer has been hard on Boo. He has had problems with his kidneys and here he is before going to spend a couple of days at the vet. He is really Seraphina's cat and so she thought that Arnold would help him get better. Sadly that didn't work and he ended up being stuck at the vet for two days and is still taking medicine to try to fix things. He will have to stay on one medication for the rest of his life and we are still waiting on some tests but he is home and safe now.

Home at last Boo cuddles up to Bella.

In the parking lot before our first night game at the new place. Sadly this is also the last time we would get to play in our lot. By the next game it was closed down. It probably seems silly to be sad about a lot but we had a lot of good times there and many memories that we will take with us.

Daddy pitching to Pheenie

Pheenie on third base while John (whom we haven't seen all season) and Anthony wait to get her out at home.

One last pitch before we go in.

Two of my favorite people. If you don't know that is Sammy and Lisa. Lisa is my dad's god daughter she practically grew up in our house and in every way except biology is my sister.

Another Jeter milestone that we were lucky enough to witness!

This very cute picture of Sammy was taken by Pheenie.

The night game field also taken by Pheenie.

Sammy took this one.

I'm not sure what is going on here but Pheenie is making a really funny face.

Daddy took this one for us.

Some one is sleepy.

The kids before we left for home. You can sort of see the stadium in the back ground.
