Happy Birthday Chris!

Every year we go to the firehouse to celebrate my brother's birthday. It's always a fun time and Katy has really gotten to look forward to this trip!

A beautiful Sunday!

My parents have an awesome Japanese Cherry tree on the side of their house. Last weekend, the wind was blowing so hard, it was snowing flowers. Papa suggested we should go play in it...it was so much fun!

Rain, rain, go away...or just play in it!!

Friday was gloomy around here, but the rain held off and it was decently warm. We had a surprise visit from Grandma & Grandpa Ruiz from Toledo and so the day turned out to be great!! We even got out to play and get some energy out of my crazy lil girl!





Saturday was another story...it sprinkled and rained on and off throughout the day, but that didn't stop Katy and Grandma Metzger. They played in the rain anyway with their umbrellas.

I live for Fridays!!!

Friday's are the BEST day of the week, because it's the day Katy and I spend the day doing something special together!! Lately, the weather has been good so we've been going to the pool.

She is very proud of her Sponge Bob popcicle!




That evening we went and had pizza with Grandma Dena. Katy decorated our noses with stickers...she can always make me laugh!

Violet Festival 09'

Here are a few pictures from our evening at the Violet Festival in Pickerington on Friday night. My brother always drives an old firetruck that he rebuilt and we had awesome seats at the firehouse to view the festivities.

Chris's Birthday - Take 2!

On Saturday (my brother's actual birthday) my Dad made dinner and we celebrated with the family. It was fun and Katy couldn't wait for the cake!!

She loves her Papa!

and don't forget Uncle Shad!
