Woodland Mound

A couple of weekends ago we all headed out to the spraypark at Woodland Mound. It was so much fun and everytime we go we realize it is closer than we think it is and vow to go more often. Great playground too and the view is spectacular! Cincy really does have such wonderful parks.

Need to work on that poker face

Josie was totally into this dino at Kings Island. She wanted to climb on it, and when I told her she couldn't because it moved this is the look I got.

Captain Bones

Here is Josie's latest artwork to appear on my desk. She named him "CAPTAIN BONES, PIRATE OF THE MONSTERS!" Arrrrrr!

Birthday Love

We just got the sweetest most special video for Josie's big 4th birthday. I just showed it to her (since we spent the WHOLE day yesterday at Kings Island for her birthday). And she seriously thought this video was the best thing ever.  And Lyla - Josie smooched the computer back which put a tear in her mama's eye. And she totally talked back to the screen: "Hi Jacky! Hi Tio!"  and "I can see you Tia!"  Thank you guys for putting together this sweet video.  I have a feeling we'll be watching it a lot. ;)

FOUR?! Yep, FOUR!

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY 

TO OUR BEAUTIFUL DEAR SWEET JOSEPHINE MARIE 

WHO IS FOUR TODAY!

(And boy oh boy there are LOTS of photos that will show up from her whole birthday week! Stay tuned.)

Our NY Family

I gotta say, we have always loved Carissa but the fact that she grabbed her boyfriend and drove eight hours to come to Josie's birthday party takes our love for her to a whole new level. We love you so meech Sisis! Thanks for being Josie's best friend (yea, and one of our best friends too). Xxxxoooo!

Two Birthday Videos

While Josie's actual birthday isn't until Thursday, we had her pool party at the Mt. Adams Pool last weekend. It was our third year doing a pool party and this location was probably our favorite. Great pool, great playground, great picnic area, great time! I will post some photos soon (although I didn't take very many so if you were there and have any pics I would love it if you would email them to me) but here are a couple of videos.

Alms Park Picnic

11 years or so ago, Lou and I went to Alms Park to check it out as a potential place to have our wedding. For whatever reason, we hadn't been back there since. Until Sunday evening when we decided to pick up dinner and head there for an impromptu picnic with the girls to wrap up the big birthday party weekend. It is a great park, has a spectacular view, and is quite possibly the perfect picnic spot. We had a wonderful time - right up until a pair of gigantic and ominous storm clouds sent us packing.
And is it just me, or did Josie start looking four the moment she blew out those candles? She's still 3 until Thursday, but she looks so grown up now.

What?!

Five months is really close to six months and that is half way to a year. Cuh-razy!

First sunflower...

...Not surprisingly it bloomed just in time for josie's birthday this week (and that would be cupcake frosting on her face).
