As the song says, we have had a great time over the past few weeks. A lot has happened and we know that we have been slacking in the blog update department, so we thought that we would just throw all of them into one BIG one!! So without further adieu, here we go!
First off, for Father's Day, we went up to the big 'D', and yes I do mean Dallas. We went for several reasons. First reason, Alisha's good friend Staci and her husband Corbin, recently had their baby boy, Aven. We had a gift for him that we have been meaning to send but due to our busy schedules, we kept forgetting. So while in Dallas, we thought it would be a great opportunity to go and see the little guy. The crazy thing is that when they first met Reece, she was about the same age as Aven was. It was so neat to see him and his mom and dad. Alisha sure does miss being around Staci, and when we get the opportunity, we try and see them when we can. Alisha and Staci had a blast getting to be moms together. It was a great visit.
Off to the next event!! Reece had her cousins first birthday party to attend. Abby had her birthday party at her house in Dallas. It was a fun time, great food and great company.
Here Reece and Alisha were posing for a picture. If anyone thinks they don't look alike, then they are blind. Look at those eyes!!
Papa A getting the good with Reece. Here Alisha is giving him the 'scoop' on how much our little girl LOVES water.
And here is all three of the newest cousins sitting together. It is amazing how much you can see their personalities with just this picture. It was very difficult for Reece to sit still, because no matter where she is, she wants to explore and move around. She really does give us a workout everyday. LOL!
And of course, when swimming, everyone needs their Wubba-Nub.
And here Reece is with her GiGi. She loves her GiGi and her GiGi loves her.
And then when we got back from Dallas, later in the week, we went out to dinner with Reece's Poppa. Here Reece is with me (Ryan), and Poppa (my dad). It was a great dinner, and a difficult picture taking moment. We took about 20 different pictures and this is the best one. Reece is a squiggle monster.
June 23 was Alisha's birthday. She turned 30 and decided that she would embrace the 30's and be fabulous. We have been working out together for about a month now and the results on Alisha are awesome. She feels better, her fibromyalgia is getting better, and the energy we both have sure does help with our little girl. A BIG special thanks goes out to Reece's Tia B and Uncle Luke. We all appreciate the help for us to get where we want to be. We are all looking forward to the next months ahead.
So on Friday night, we went out to Benihana for Alisha's birthday. What Alisha didn't know is that Ashley and Chris Petersen, aka. GiGi and Uncle Crispy, were joining us for dinner. On our way home, Alisha and I were talking that this was the very first time that the four of us have ever been out by ourselves. We had no children. It was amazing food and amazing company. It was a great night celebrating Alisha's entrance into the thirties.
Again, thank you Nonni and Poppa for watching Reece. We appreciate it so much and Reece loves the time she gets with you guys.Then on Saturday, we went to Mountasia Family Fun Center to celebrate Joey's birthday which was a little over a week ago. Reece was not feeling so good, but she, like many times before, was a trooper. You can see it in her eyes that she was out of it, but she managed to pose for a few pictures. Here I am giving my little girl a kiss on the cheek hoping she feels better.
And here Reece is getting her bottle with her Nonni. There is just something about grandmothers that puts every grandkid at ease.
And here we are. Our happy little family wishing everyone a great upcoming week, a great summer, and a happy July 4th.
WE ARE HERE FOR A GOOD TIME!!!
