Alyssa turns 4! {just us}

What an awesome birthday morning for our Moo! Our little 4 year old woke up to some birthday donuts with candles... then it was off to open some presents! She got a wubble bubble, a Peppa backpack, some books, and big brother got her Agnes's unicorn from Despicable Me!! AS you can see from the photos... the unicorn was the present of choice for Alyssa :) She also did an awesome job helping me cut out the bottle wrappers for her bday party... she was very meticulous with her cutting :)

Boy scout camp {2015}

Will had another amazing year at boy scout camp this year! I was a little concerned in the beginning with the organizational side of things... but they managed to get it together and put on a great week for the boys. Pappy even got to come hang out with Will for two days and participate in some of the activities!

Gaver Farm {Ameriprise customers}

Over the summer our financial planner threw a big party for all their customers over at Gaver Farm. We had so much fun hanging out jumping on the big pillow and playing on the playground. They even had an ice cream truck come visit and we all had ice cream and sno cones! Thanks Brian!

Catoctin Zoo 2015

My girlfriend Amy and I decided to take the girls to the zoo the week the big kids started school. Wow, we had a blast! We spent most of the day there and even had to rush back to the bus stop to go grab Will. We saw everything... pet everything... and fed everything. The girls especially liked the Koi fish in the raised pond, and then also the parakeets. I was very surprised how much Alyssa liked the parakeets... she wanted as many birds on her arms and hands as possible. She liked the zoo so much, I bought a livingsocial deal to take her back again before the fall is over! We were really happy we got to spend time with Lucy and her Mama. They will be moving to Ohio in the next few weeks, and we will really miss hanging out with them :/
