Couldn't have just one...

What a fun summer day! It was 92 degrees and you could only stand the shade or be directly in the water. The stars aligned and we spent the day in our swimsuits but also both of my chicklets were in great moods...which gave me the rare opportunity to snap some pics of them actually having fun which included lots of dancing, some posing and some toes being stepped on :-)

These two are my chocolate and vanilla, they are my swirl cone the kind you get in the summer at Freddie Freeze's.

School starts soon and we are spending every minute we can having fun and relaxing at the lake.

Cam looks like a future J Crew model my mom's friends say...wait till they see the black and white above!

Went through the normal emotions today...loving them, wanting to lock them in a closet when they were fighting over the water rafts, missing them when they were away from me for more than 5 minutes, laughing at Cam taunt me while we were tubing and kissing Cait's sweet face when she fell asleep on the boat.

Sitting on the deck of the lake house writing this blog and wondering if heaven looks like this :-)

Grandpa Bacarella turns 82

There is a person in this world that loves their birthday as much as I do and that honor goes to my father-in-law who turned 82 on Saturday. He gives me hope, as usually people stop caring about their birthday as they grow older but he looks forward to them and all the attention they bring. I am lucky that he doesn't have internet or a computer as he hates when I tell people how old he is...the reason I do is because I think he looks amazing for his age. The birthday started out with Apple Fritters from the Fruit Farm :-), amazing Italian dinner by Mama Bacarella and we capped the evening off with a nice boat ride. We love you Grandpa!

So I looooooove this picture, definitely going up on the wall at home

The white star in the sky is actually Mars!!!

Running through the wildflowers

Isn't it amazing when your 5 and your day is filled with simple things but they seem like the whole world. Cait makes me stop, very few people make me stop...but she can do it she can wrap me up in her daydreams. I love how she looks at every flower as something she could pick and hand to her mom as a way of showing how much she cares. Cait and I got to capture the field filled with these wildflowers before Dad mowed them down, as she was running through them I was able to capture a few fun pics...she stopped running shortly after and told me that those flowers really hurt :-) Maybe when she is 10, I will tell her that they are just weeds but for now we have a field full of flowers.
