6th Birthday Beach Party

Adelina had a very special 6th birthday beach party. She
was lucky enough to have some of her friends from school
plus some "regulars" joins us for a great day in Long
Branch. I think everyone had a really great time. For all
of the pictures, look on the right side under "Our Photos"
for "2010 Summer".

PS - I think the birthday "season" is FINALLY over!

Shrinky Dinks!

Flash back! The girls received Shrinky Dinks as a birthday
present from Aunt Jessica and totally LOVE THEM! This
particular set was a Shrinky Dink jewelry making kit - could
it be any more perfect for them?

Happy 6th Birthday Adelina

Oh how she's grown! Adelina turned 6 years old today. She
is such a smart little girl with a good head on her
shoulders. Adelina is stubborn, but still very smart. I am
so proud of her! Happy Birthday Adelina!

Go Adelina!

Jack's 1st Haircut

Jack got his 1st haircut today. Against my better judgment,
I did not give him a crew cut so I don't think you can even
tell very much from the front. But you can tell big time
from the back - no more hair over his ears or curled up tail
in the back! I'll buzz him in a few weeks!

Adelina and Isabelle's dance recital

Adelina and Isabelle's dance recital was fantastic. This
year the girls were lucky enough to be in the same classes.
They took ballet and tap, and performed two dances for the
recital. This year's theme was "Food, Glorious Food." For
ballet the girls were "Grape Snow Cones" and for tap they
were "Red Hots". Links to videos posted on the side. More
pics posted under "2010 Spring."

Congratulations Isabelle, again

Graduations are finally over! Isabelle had her 2nd (and

want to sneak a peek. Congratulations Isabelle.

Congratulations Isabelle!

Isabelle graduated from Lynn Crest pre-school this morning.
It was an adorable ceremony with songs, diplomas, and a
great video at the end. As soon as I have the video I'll
post it, because it was adorable and highlighted each of the
"graduates" and their school year. Congratulations
Isabelle!

Adelina's Kindergarten Graduation

Congratulations Adelina! Adelina graduated Kindergarten
today, and the ceremony was adorable! Each child had a
speaking part, and the ceremony focused on what they learned
throughout the year - the US states, the continents, the
oceans, etc. Adorable! Afterwards, there was a reception,
and Adelina had a great time playing with her friends. She
is all ready for 1st grade in September!

Here birdie, birdie, birdie

Adelina & Isabelle couldn't wait to paint their wooden bird
houses, so by 8:30am on a Sunday morning the newspaper was
laid out and the paints were ready. They painted them with
Grandpa, and then we all watched Daddy hang them in the
tree. Afterwards all of the kids sat quietly inside
anxiously awaiting the birds.

Note to self: These would be awesome crafts for a future
birthday party!

G-O-A-L

The kids got into the World Cup spirit today wearing their
Messi shirts and playing soccer. Joseph wanted both a
baseball and a soccer ball at all times, but he still really
enjoyed it. I guess he is torn between American spring
sports (baseball) and the hype of the World Cup! Adelina
played forward and Isabelle goalie. Ad loved yelling
G-O-A-L every time she scored!
