Last Playdate........Time to Pack!

Slow Fredos Last Visit to Cedric Road

Whoo Hoo Last Day of School!

We threw together a last minute end of school party for our neighborhood friends.  It was a last hurrah for us and 174 Cedric Road!

 We pulled everything out of the closet 

   Jumpy house.........water balloons....

Squirt guns

Tattoos

Cotton Candy Machine

 Molly decided to change into her favorite pink sparkle dress, since it WAS a party.  She has been wanting to wear it to school and I kept telling her it is not appropriate for school, only a special party.  She was so funny running around the yard playing in it.

 All but three........hard to get them all together.

 Of course, a game of football.

 Shawn's friend Matthew came from down the street.

 And Molly was so excited to see Sydney.

Whew!  What a party!  We're exhausted!  Thank goodness it is summer!!!

Happy Father's Day

( For Father's Day the boys and I created an 18 minute video of our family and how we and our house has changed ove the years.)

 It was a great weekend to appreciate Father's Day.  Shawn made a great weather rock at school for Chris, which we replicated for both grandfathers.  It was a big hit!

 I think Pa Fredo found it to be the most funny.  He could hardly read the instructions without laughing.  It was so funny to watch.

Grampa seemed confused and didn't get it, until he realized you were supposed to put the rock OUTSIDE!

Happy Father's Day!!!

Molly's Dance Recital

 Molly was not nervous at all for her first dance recital.  We kept asking her if she had butterflies, and she said no.  I think we all had butterflies for her!

 Obviously we must have gone overboard on the make up!  I was fun though.

She did great and loved being on the stage.

Seems short lived, though, as I asked her if she wanted to do dance next year and got a "nah, I think I'll do gymnastics!"  No dance mom here!  lol

Poor Matthew has poison ivy in his eye!

First dip at the yacht club!

Everyone was happy to hear the docks were in at the club.  Especially since it was such a hot day.

Matthew and Jack brought Trevor and they all did tricks off the dock.

Molly tried too.

Shawn was initially excited to jump off the dock, since he just learned to do it in swimming lessons at the pool.  However, he wasn't quite ready.  Instead he was proud to swim from the beach all the way to the dock himself.
