Power Wheels!

While at the rummage sale, Cioci and I found this awesome single-rider power wheels for AJ for $15.  I couldn't pass up this good deal - so of course, AJ has a new toy!

Jess and Matt's Mystic Seaport Wedding

Tonight I got to witness my college roomie, Jess get married to her best friend, Matt at Mystic Seaport on a beautiful summer night.  She was absolutely beaming and did I mention she looked gorgeous?!

Jess and Matt - Just Married!

Waiting for dinner to be served

College roomies... reunited and it feels so good!

Jess and I... love this girl!

Snow Boots in the Summer?

Yup... AJ went there.  He totally was rocking his new snow boots (found at the Rummage sale for $2!) this morning while watching some Little Einsteins.

28 Weeks

A few short sentences to describe this week:  Still feeling a bit sore.  Feeling large and in charge in the belly department.  LS2 is still super-duper active with his/her kicks.  I'm still wearing my wedding rings! [YES!]

Potty Try

Before AJ went to bed tonight, he wanted to try to go pee-pee on the potty.  He wasn't successful and I'm just convinced it was his way of getting Mommy to let him play with the iPad before bed.  Silly AJ!

Nap time with Mommy

Someone was a bit tired after his adventure to Buttonwood Farm this afternoon...

Sunflowers for Wishes 2013

Cioci Kimmy came over this morning to watch AJ so I could go in to work early so this afternoon we could make our annual trip to Buttonwoods' Sunflower for Wishes Festival.

Hanging out and waiting to meet up with Marisa and Riley

We treated the kiddos to some chips while we waited.

Then it was off on the hayride!  These piggies were going all sorts of crazy and running around..
 the kiddos loved them!

Then we made our way to the cow pasture where a baby cow was nursing.

Moo!

The kiddos were able to grab some hay from the trailer and try to feed the cows.

Katie was successful in feeding the cows.

AJ was getting frustrated because for some reason they didn't want to come near him!

But he tried again... along with all the other kiddos.

There he is.. coming in for the straw!

Although Maddie isn't tall enough to feed the cows, she was enjoying watching them with Mommy. 

Bye cows.

Watching as the tractor drove us from the cows to the sunflowers..

There they are!

My little man and me!

Marisa and Riley

Cioci Kimmy and the girls

Hanging out after the hayride while Cioci went to get the stroller for Maddie to sit in.

Look at Miss Riley's face... priceless!

Too funny!

Couldn't resist taking some close-up sunflowers pics as we entered into the field.

Loved how this one wasn't quite ready... still such a beauty though.

Then we attempted the annual pictures in the sunflower fields.


Clearly it wasn't going well for me.


The closest thing to a 'normal' picture of me and AJ in the field

I then tried to calm him down since he was so hyper by showing him some sunflowers....

But he still wasn't interested in taking a cutesy picture with Mommy!

A very smiley Katie and her Mommy

AJ was digging the kid-sized sunflower.

He even tried to smell it.. although his smelling consists of blowing out air 

from his nose rather than inhaling..silly boy!

Sunflowers and friends.

Katie and Allie wanted a sniff too!

One last sunflower pic with a bee on it before we left to go get some yummy ice cream!

The kiddos were literally running to the ice cream stand from the field... love this picture!
