Happy Birthday Joseph!

From happy baby to lovable toddler to my clever little Kindergarten graduate...Happy Birthday to one of the toughest, most amazing kids ever. I love you Joseph Colin O'Toole. Happy 6th Birthday!

Rowan

Just a couple of cute pics, I snapped of Rowan during a couple of our summer adventures.

Splish, splash!

Bathing suits...check! Flip flops...check! Towels and Sunscreen...check! The world's largest tote bag full of snacks, diapers and pool toys...check! Heading off to the pool is one of the kids' favorite summer activites. Keegan is a fearless (to the point of scaring Mom) practically self-taught swimmer; Joey is recent graduate of the baby pool; Rowan is my little bathing beauty; and Riley who got into the water for the first time recently all love the time we spend with our friends and family at the local pools. (Not to mention, Mommy LOVES the post pool quiet time.)

We all scream for ICE CREAM!

Ok, so it may not be the healthiest thing in the world, but having ice cream in the summer time is an OO Family staple. So bring it on Mr. Ice Cream Truck Driver!!

Happy 4 monthes Riley!

So our Squeaker is now 4 monthes and probably in one of the cutest stages ever. She's sleeps through on most nights, rolls over (then gets stuck) and sleeps on her side. Perpetually smiling, cooing, giggling (squeaking) and drooling, our snugglebug truly amazes me.

Summer, summer, summertime...

Swimming. Birthday parties. Pizza Night. Watching Movies. Riding Bikes. Playing Catch. Building castles in the sand. Sliding on the flumes at Chesapeake Beach Water Park. Hiking. Reading at the Library. Chasing the dog. Karate lessons. Swim Class. Eating Ice Cream. Cook-outs in the backyard. Walks to the Park. Fun at the Playground. Fireworks. Friends. Family.

Ahhhh...June has flown by and we are now wading through July. (Its hard to believe that we've been in our house for a year now!) Summer has kept us busy and the kids are reaping the rewards of no homework, no schedule and fully enjoying summer vacation bliss.
