Memorial Weekend-July 4th Weekend

Irvington

I can't believe it's been 2 months since I last posted! 

Sadly, the summer is flying by already...however, we have many little trips planned over the next few weeks that I have been looking forward to for months. 

Here are some pics of what we have been up to so far this summer.....

Memorial Weekend Grandpa and Grandma came to visit~

We had a little BBQ in Matthiessen Park...

We went to Central Park and rode the carousel

and stole a bite of Grandpa's strawberry popsicle. 

Delicious!

We love when Grandma and Grandpa visit!!!

 We recently had a picnic at Croton Gorge Park...

Gracie loved putting her feet in the water and splashing around.

And of course, one of my favorite summer activites...watching my husband hit home runs!!!

And the number one most fun summer activity~ Staying Cool!!!!

 

Hope you're enjoying the summer as well!!!

Mother's Day

Mom, Momma, Mommy!

Grace, Gracie, Gracie Girl, Coo-Coo Bird, Peanut, Pumpkin! 

No matter what we call each other,

I'm hoping friend will someday top that list.

I love my little family and had a fabulous day with them on Mother's Day!

 I woke up to the sound of Gracie's little voice yelling "Happy Mother's Day" and holding a helium balloon over my bed, then a fabulous breakfast, and a trip to the park. 

Thank's DP for a wonderful day!

For the 2nd year in a row Gracie and I went to the Duck Derby in Tarrytown, NY.

 (You know how I feel about traditions...and we are starting one with the Duck Derby)

Last year Gracie was to tiny to do any of the "rides," so this year we gave it ago.

 She tried out the Sesame Street bouncy house for a bit~

but was sadly knocked over by a bigger kid and thus ended our "ride" experience.

Here's Gracie and the duck. She looks thrilled doesn't she?

We had a really nice afternoon...and are looking forward to next year!

Tilly Foster Farm

A John and Gracie Day

This is Gracie and her bestest buddy John!

 He loves her and she loves him. 

They talk about each other when they are apart and

 count the days till they are playing together again.

Tilly Foster Farm is right down the road from John's house and

 the farm's cow recently had a little calf.

 Perfect timing! 

This gave us a perfect excuse to go visit the farm and have a sleep over at John's house!

Play Ball!!!

Wicked Broadway Show League

DP plays for the Wicked Team in the Broadway Show League. Since we left our Atlanta Adventures we have been counting down the days until softball would begin. This is David's third year playing ball and it has become something we love to do as a family. We were just reminiscing while driving down to the game last week that 3 summers ago I sat in the stands getting bigger and bigger. We didn't even get to go to the final game because Gracie was born that day. Last year was Gracie first summer watching Daddy play baseball. She didn't really get it, but loved the clapping and the occasional popsicle. This year Gracie is ready! She has been counting down the days with us.


A conversation between Gracie and I:
Mommy: Gracie what does Daddy's hat say?
Gracie:YANKEES!
Mommy:Who likes the Yankees?
Gracie: DADDY!
Mommy: Who else?
Gracie GRACIE!
Mommy: What do the Yankees play?
Gracie:BASEBALL!
Mommy: Who else plays baseball?
Gracie:DADDY!

And just so you know~ Wicked won last weeks game 15 to 9
LET'S GO WICKED!!!!!!
