Gettysburg

It's been quite a while since we have been able to go on vacation so when Bryan's parents came out we decide to go on a little trip. We rented a van and drove 6 hours to Gettysburg. After a short movie and walk through the museum at the visitors center, we decided to get a tour guide to drive us around. We are soooo glad we did. This man knew so much about the war and Gettysburg, it was like he was there himself. There's no way we would've known who was who and what happened where without this man. Bryan and his Dad watched the movie "Gettysburg" before we left so they knew a little, but i was completely lost. And after 3 hours of our guide feeding us non stop information, i am still lost :) ha ha...maybe this war stuff isn't really my thing. I think the guys really enjoyed it though.I don't think this war stuff was for Ashley either. :) They call this "The Valley Of Death". (self explanatory)

I love this picture of Kaitlyn watching a bug.

Hello Mr. Lincoln!

Zoo, tomatoes and friends

There is nothing more fun than getting together with friends on such a beautiful day and spending it at the zoo. . The kids had so much fun playing with each other and seeing the animals. It was nice for us Moms to play with our friends too :)

I love my girls in glasses! Soo cute

These are the 3D glasses we got from "Toy Story 3". That was their first movie in a theatre and they actually did pretty good. (As long as they had popcorn to shove in their faces :) ) They even kept the glasses on most of the time.

I love the hair! Ha ha. Kaitlyn is jumping on her little enclosed trampoline

My little cutie!

Ever since we moved into our house i have been wanting to start a garden but kept putting it off because i didn't even know where to start. I had never grown anything. My wonderful neighbor stopped by with 3 tomato plants so i decided to plant them and see what happend.

I actually grew something and they turned out great! i don't really like tomatoes but Bryan and Kaitlyn have been loving them. Maybe next year i will get daring and try squash or some other veggies too.

Last month Bry and the girls went with our good friends, the Murdocks, to the Ohio State fair. Unfortunately I was not able to go because of a sprained knee. But it was nice to get some alone time and it looked like they all had a blast.

In August i hosted a "Diaper Shower" for my good friend Britni who was expecting her second boy. What a fun group of girls! I am so lucky to have found such wonderful friends here in Ohio
