Up to date!

After this post, I am caught up with all my pictures! Which means I need to take MORE pictures. I can also continue working on my 2014 blog book, I'm pretty late getting it printed this year!

These are more pictures from the July 4 Pitcavage reunion at Knoebels.

I don't want to label Jack and say he looks like James Dean in this picture, but he sort of has rhe look down. He's also got some pretty cute cousins.

Baltimore aquarium

The Baltimore aquarium is by far my favorite aquarium. I'm always excited to go with or without children. This time my father took all of us for the day. 

The Ray tank is still my favorite spot. 

The aquarium has horrible lighting for pictures. So I grabbed one in front of the glass facing the kids. You can see they were so enthralled by the fish that they didn't care to look at me. 

They found nemo. 

"Hey everyone, try to look in the mirror at one time while we go down the escalator."

This is a parrot fish. It's very large and has facial features like a human. We were fascinated. 

Some of the fish, behind thick glass, really scared the children. They had no fear around the bearded dragon. 

I love this aquarium and would happy to visit there on a regular basis. We wore the children out!!

Thanks Papa for the great trip!

Summer

Summer. 

We've had a mix of summer fun and a lot of illnesses! I'm hoping everyone will be healthy for school to start next week!

Kite day was a success. 

Until it wasn't. 

Girls night out for appetizers and dressers. 

Williams family reunion at Grandma B's farm. 

Catching up on this blog!! I'll be there soon!

Swim team 2015

Swim team championships. 

Swim team championships is usually a 4-6 hour event. This year we brought a tent for the kids and kept everyone occupied. 

End of the season party and picture. 

I'm so proud of Lilly. 

12 years

We celebrated our 12 year anniversary this summer. Sweet Lilly decorated and made us breakfast. She also pulled out my wedding dress to try on. 

I ordered a small wedding cake from my friend and made Jim cut it with me. 

Jim and I hired a babysitter and enjoyed a long Saturday afternoon together. With dinner, a movie, and shopping. I'm so lucky to have him. 

Summer happenings

Playing and chores. 

Garden surplus. 

Friends from out of town

Neighbors to play with. 

And catching summer pets. 

Just kidding. I made a new strict "no amphibian or reptile pet" rule. I had nothing to do with the catching or eventual release of this frog. 

And when things get a little quiet, build a Dixie cup tower.
