Day at the Zoo.

Some pics from a trip to the Cleveland Zoo that we took in early June. We've had a busy summer so hopefully I'll be able to get caught up and share some pics from the fun we've had!

Kylie brought her own little camera and had a blast snapping pics of the animals! Love my little budding photographer!

Ky got to feed fish to the seals! Definitely her favorite moment at the zoo.

B-O-Y.

This kid is such a BOY. Despite his love of Strawberry Shortcake (big sister may have a slight influence on that), there is not a more boy-ish boy out there.

He has really embraced his orneriness lately (lucky us). He has such a sense of humor and talks nonstop!

He knows how to work his mama, too. In a matter of minutes he can melt me into a puddle with his adorableness and then have me wiping sweat from his wild energy and stubborn streak.

And then he flashes this smile and his mama is wrapped around his finger yet again...

Strawberry Picking.

Last weekend we went to a local farm and picked some strawberries. The kids thought this was the best thing ever! They had SO much fun and can't wait to do it again next year!

Matt recorded Gavie and I'm so glad that he did. This video cracks us up! This is so our Gavo!

The daddy.

We enjoyed a relaxing Father's Day celebrating our daddy and grandpa Tim (we missed our Pa but we will see him soon).

The obligatory before-breakfast-photo. Daddy with his 2 munchkins.

A typical moment with silly daddy.

To be his kid is to be a very, very lucky kid.

More soccer.

Kylie's 1st soccer season has wrapped up. She will hang her cleats up for a few months before starting back in August for the fall season. The last few games she really started enjoying it and looking forward to her next game (and asking me daily, "how many more days til soccer?").

Here are a few more pics from her last 2 games.

A little stretch before game time.

Little brother watching and enjoying his "gatey-ade" (the boy is obsessed!).

Gavie trying to entertain the crowd!

And sharing hats.

Ky's last game was against her neighbor (and good friend) Evan's team. They had fun playing against each other and spent the time on the sidelines chatting away.

Hello June!

We've missed you!

The kiddies enjoyed some summertime food at the neighborhood Memorial Day party last weekend.

It's good to see corn on the cob, popsicles, tank tops, rosy cheeks and sweaty hair again!
