Kids are camping...

Their first adventure in Vermont was camping - Aydin and Morgan loved it! Although, I have to admit, what's not to love? 4 days spent fishing, hiking, sitting by the fire and roasting marshmallows... I (Heather) could do that every weekend! Kevin, Brandy, and the kids joined everyone so in all, there were 10 of us for most of the weekend. Here are Jacob and Morgan by the camper..

And sitting by the fire..The campground they went to was beautiful. It was right on a huge lake with a beach. Heather heard one of the life guards say they had trucked in 4 dumptruck loads of sand for the summer so she had to laugh as she watched the kids picking it up in buckets and dumping it in the water!
The other great thing about the lake is that they rent paddle boats and canoes - and it's within rowing distance to a general store that sells ice cream! They did that not once, but twice :)

Here are Aydin and Ella in the paddle boat..
These pictures are from their second trip - Heathers camera had an unfortunate accident and ended up slipping out of her pocket as they were paddling and is now sitting on the bottom of Silver Lake.. good thing Taylor brought her camera or we would have no pictures at all! Mom and Morgan - If left to her own devices, they think Morgan would have driven the boat in circles - just steering to the left! They had to keep re-directing her..

TaylorMorgan got such a kick out of floating in a life jacket - she couldn't believe she was just bobbing along in the middle of the lake! She laughed every time Heather told her to watch out for the boats :)

Kids Vermont trip

Mom flew to Florida to bring Aydin and Morgan back to Vermont for a two week visit - we had a great, great time! We did something new every day: camping, movies, swimming, the zoo in Montreal, Lake Monsters baseball game, sleeping out in the backyard, miniature golf... There wasn't very much we missed. I don't know who was more tired at the end of the visit - them or us?! Here are the five kids sitting by grandma's garden. We have the same picture taken when Morgan was about a year old - I have to find that one.. They've all gotten so big! It's kind of ridiculous - Taylor will be a sophomore this year and Morgan will be in kindergarten - Crazy!
Silly faces..

LIAM BRENT BLONSKI

He is here!!! Welcome to the world little Liam.

Last Monday, June 21st at 12:03am Liam finally arrived. He finally made up mind that he was ready to enter this world... and when he did- he wasnt in the mood to wait!

Sunday around pm Steve and I dropped the kids off with our friends and made our way to the hospital. We made it to the hospital at 9:40 and not long after we were looking at a beautiful baby boy.

Weighing 8 lbs 11oz and 20 and 1/4 inches long- He is just perfect!!

(and looks so much like Aydin too)

Right after he was born...

Morgan would not let him go.

On our way home!!!

Aydin waited until we got home to finally hold Liam. He was so cute about it!

Morgans Dance

Last week Morgan had her dance recital. Like last year she did great- even better!! She loves being in the spotlight, having her hair done, made up on, and on stage. We were so happy for her!! She has been waiting since last years recital to be on stage again.

Aydins baseball party

Last night- Friday June 4th, was Aydins end of the season party for Baseball. What a fun season it was- but I am sure glad it is over. They started the beginning of March and their last game was about a week ago. The boys had a great coach and learned so much this season. Next year they will be great ball players!!

Coach Anthony's last talk to the boys...

trophy time...

Morgans pre-k graduation

Well- my little girl is not so little anymore. She officially will be starting kindergarten next year. May 22 was her pre-k graduation and she was loving all the attention. She was all smiles all night- and we are so proud of her.

Baby Shower

I wish I could say it was last weekend... but nope- on May 15th my friends threw me a baby shower. I am just a slacker and have no other real excuse on why I havent posted yet. Even worse, Morgan has lost her two bottom teeth this month- and I cannot find the pictures to post those either. What am I going to do when baby number 3 comes along?! I hope I am not a hot mess!!

The great ladies who threw my shower- Jennifer and Karlie




Well- my shower was great. We had it at a restaurant called Brettes which is right on the water. I cant believe that I only have 3 more weeks to go before the nugget will be here (if he waits all three weeks).

My neighbor took this picture- sitting down... wish she was standing but oh well. Karlie, Jennifer, me, Suzanne and Linsey
