Father's Day Weekend

We took a took a trip to the DC/VA area on Saturday of Father's Day weekend to visit with my family for half the day. We went to a Waterpark then went to Potomac Mills outlet mall. We had a great time visiting, but definitely wasn't long enough. Here some pictures:

Memorial Day Weekend

We all had a quiet and relaxing Memorial Day weekend at home. Here are some new pictures of Anthony. I can't believe how big and vocal he is now. He's putting words together to form 2 and some 3 word sentences. I hope you all had a great weekend!

Crib to Toddler Bed

Due to the recall of Anthony's Simplicity crib, we were forced to upgrade a little early to a toddler bed. We decided to get him the Toy Story toddler bed with matching sheets, since this has been his favorite movie recently. We'll let you know how the first night goes with it. He did go to sleep as you will see below. Hopefully he'll sleep and stay in it!

Strawberry Picking

Friday night we took a trip to Willow Springs, NC to pick strawberries at Porter Farms. It was a very nice family outing for us. Anthony didn't have much interest in picking, but he loved holding the bucket and putting the strawberries in it after Daddy and I picked them.

Anthony wanted to hold the basket

Mommy and Daddy picked the strawberries,
but Anthony put them in the bucket for us

The bucket got a little too heavy!

Yummy Strawberries :-)

Weekend trip to PA

Matt, Anthony, and I drove to PA on Friday to visit our families for the weekend. Saturday, Matt and I went to the Penn State Blue and White game, then there was a surprise party for Matt's Mother, Cathy. On Sunday, our nephew, Jackson, was baptized. Here are some pictures from our very busy weekend.
