Other happenings!

another baby shower so another diaper baby was made this month :) Our friends, John and Alicia are expecting a baby boy any day now and her baby shower was back in the beginning of July!! its fun to be crafty and make my diaper babies to celebrate someones special time of having a baby! I was so happy that she loved it and that everyone else did too!! I'm even starting to sell some on facebook, and going to start an etsy shop soon. I love to be able to give people something that is more than just something you picked up at the store. I love gifts that have a ton of meaning :) All the gifts that I've gotten over the years for Chloe and Liam that we're handmade are so special to us. 

And speaking of babies, another couple that we are friends with welcomed their sweet little man into this world on July 15th... Little Adam Jr. 

After our Lake George vacation, the kids and I went to meet him. Chloe held him and it was soo sweet. Liam even gave him some kisses :) Welcome to the world Adam!! 

We visited in PA 2 weeks ago, the plan was to go to Hershey park with my sister, but we got rained out! it was pouring off and on that whole Saturday so we decided it was better not to go. It was still a nice visit. We spent time with Tanya and John!!! My BFF and her new fiance!! I am sooooo happy and excited for them! I am so honored to be her Matron of Honor! and that she asked Chloe to be one of the flower girls and Liam a ring bearer!! how cute will they both be :) We miss them a ton so it was nice to get to hang out and I can't wait til we get to see them again! 


We also did ALOT of camping shopping. We are going camping for the week on Monday so there was alot we needed. We went to Cabela's, Bass Pro Shop and Gander Mountain. Unfortunately none of those stores are in NY but they are all close to where I'm from in PA so we had some fun shopping and its probably the only time I see Sean happy to shop LOL. We picked up my sister Sam and saw her apartment in Harrisburg, and since we couldn't do Hershey park we atleast went to Chocolate World, did the tour and bought some candy :)

We also visited with my sister Cassie and my nephews! they are growing up way too fast! they get bigger each and every time I see them! 
We visited with Mommom on Friday when we first got there, she had a chemo treatment earlier in the week so she was pretty tired and wiped out but then Saturday went to the hospital. She ended up having a stomach ulcer and had to stay a few days so then on Sunday before we came back home we were at the hospital for a few hours. I hope that she is getting better and pray that she beats this! In the past I had worked with the American Cancer Society, have walked in the Relay for Life, but it never meant as much as it does to me now, knowing that the woman that means the most to me in my life, is suffering with breast cancer. I did a 31 fundraiser back in July and was able to raise money which I donated to the Keep a Breast Foundation. I plan to continue to fund raise for this cause. And support and pray for my Mommom! 






until next time...

Visitors!! Again!

Kirsten and Gavin also were visiting in NY throughout the whole month of July!
A little back story: Kirsten is married to Matt and their son is Gavin. Matt and Sean have been good friends for a long long time now, they usually refer to each other as brothers. There little family lives out in California, Matt is in the Marines. I met Kirsten a few years ago, her and Matt came out for a visit just before Chloe turned 2.
We got to see them last summer when they were in NY again with baby Gavin. Gavin is just 1 month older than Liam, so it was awesome to see the daddy's and there little men together.
This summer it was awesome to see them again, get to hang out and have another mom, with a toddler to do things with throughout the day. Liam and Gavin were good friends, they would play together, well kind of they'd play together as much as a 16 and 17 month old will together. We went the beach a few times, and to the library, had them here to play and have movie nights and both Chloe and Liam went to there place one day to play and have pizza. & lets not forget some Target shopping for the momma's!! It was sad that they month went by so fast and they had to fly back home, but we really look forward to when they get to come out here again! and who knows maybe sometime we will be able to visit California.

Visitors!!

In July my little sister came to visit for a long weekend :) we planned on going to the beach, hanging out and going to the Bronx zoo and we did it all but didnt make it to the zoo and on top of that had an interesting last day trying to get her on a train to go back home. 
We worked on our tan at the beach a few days, had one of our favorite foods every..Chinese!! lol went shopping at Kohl's!which seems to be a fav spot for us when shes in NY with me. Last time she was here with my she got a dress there for only 10 cents I think it was and since it was too hot for the zoo, we shopped at the mall on her last day here 



much to my surprise we dont have very many pictures from her visit, crazy because she is the photographer and we ALWAYS take a ton of pictures. I know she took more than these 3 but these are all that I have. I love the one of the two of us, its a new fav! it's even printed out, just needs a frame :)
