Lilly is 6!

Little Lilly turned 6 in August! She is so old!! She actually looks much older now since she just yesterday lost her third tooth (the first one on the top).

Zach, the next American Girl Doll:

Lilly had a gymnastics party at a really fun gym- I didn't post any pictures of her friends since this is a public blog, but here's her cake!

First Day of School

Lilly started Kindergarten this year! She started mid August, but I am just now getting the pictures up. Lilly LOVES her teacher, her class, and her friends. She practically jumps out of the car and runs to line up every morning when I drop her off. Zach is at a loss without her! He is not liking his "school" as much and there are tears every morning he goes, but the teachers say he is liking it and not crying at all after I leave!

NYC!!

Pete and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary this month.  We went to New York for a long weekend.  It was such a wonderful trip!  We had great weather and walked A TON.  Here are some pictures from our weekend. 

Hanging out with our friend Kevin:

The Statue of Liberty and a view of the city as seen from the Staten Island Ferry:

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge:

Going to see a show- Jersey Boys was awesome!  It has fun Frankie Valli songs and was just a great show to see:

We took a bike tour of Central Park and ended up riding about 6 miles.  This was SO fun and a great way to see everything in the park and get fun information about New York:

Hanging out at the fountain in Columbus Circle.  Pete and I had so much fun on this trip, we are trying to figure out when we can go back! 

Lilly's bike!

 

Lilly recently learned how to ride her bike without training wheels.  She is super fast now and constantly wants to go on bike rides.  Yay for Lilly and yay for Pete who worked with her for weeks on this!

Funny  video of Zach:

Sprinkler Fun

More sprinkler fun

This summer has been great so far.  Above you'll see several pictures (I was trying to post them below this commentary, but I can't figure out the newest blogging set up).  Lilly graduated from Preschool in May and we will really miss her teachers- they are awesome!!  We've had great weather so far and have been able to go to the beach and also play in the sprinkler a few times.  Both kids LOVE the sprinkler, so it's great.  They both love drinking from it for some odd reason, but whatever keeps them occupied!  We also had Grandma/Grandpa camp this summer when Pete's sister and her 4 kids came to visit for a week.  The kids had a great time just hanging out and playing.  Look for another post coming about my fun time at Football 101!
