Hashbrown Casserole...

...at Cracker Barrel is the BEST FOOD EVER! If you dont like it, there is seriously something wrong with you.

We were treated to this deliciousness by my Dad and Ms. Sheila on Monday. It was super tasty {as always} and we had a really nice time.

Milo was so well behaved and my sister's boyfriend Paul was able to make it {usually ALWAYS working}.

We are so happy to be able to spend such quality time with our family!








{Fun!}

4th of July

We spent Sunday at my Dad's house eating delicious food and hanging by the pool. {I should have taken a picture of the food, it was soooo good}.






After dark we headed home to watch the Harbor fireworks from our deck {Zoe-less because Aunt Ray took her home for a slumber party!}. The Harbor show was awesome, but so were the fireworks set off by our neighbors! Milo was a little startled at first, but eventually he settled in and really loved them!

3rd of July

This year, the holiday fell on a Sunday which prompted many of the celebrations to be held on Saturday. We went to 2 family parties and had tons of fun!

Ill let the pictures speak for themselves:











{fun!}

Daddy Daughter Date

On Monday, June 28, Zoe went to see her first movie in the movie theater!! She went to see Toy Story 3 in 3-D {glasses and all!} with her Daddy. She was so excited and was completely happy to be spending some time with her Daddy by herself.




They left around 6pm {a little late, but it was the only available showing} and went straight to the AMC theatre in White Marsh. Zoe was awesome and Ian was relieved that they didn't have any major issues. She loved the "flippy" seats and only ran down the row once! After the movie, Ian took her to McDonalds for a dinner date and then to the book store where she picked out a Toy Story 3 "find-it" book. A sort of Where's Waldo type book with a TS3 theme.

When they got home {around 10:00} Zoe could not stop talking about the movie, the seats, McDonalds, her new book... She went to bed with a big smile on her face.

I am so happy that Zoe has such a wonderful relationship with Ian. Especially since having Milo, I have been worried that she isn't getting the attention she wants or needs. Ian is always there to listen to her, to talk with her and be a great Daddy {even if its just letting her spend an extra half hour in the tub!} I am really trying to divide my time, but sometimes it's a challenge. I cant imagine how it works when you have more than 2!
