Happy Birthday Great Grandpa!

This past Sunday we celebrated Grandpa's 87th birthday!
With their recent move to Columbus, we are so lucky to have them close to us.
Many more birthday wishes Grandpa!

Trip to the Lake 2011

Going to visit the Spicer's at the Lake has become one of our favorite summertime traditions. With our children so similar in age, it is a blast to be together. Laura and I have been great friends since we met in Founders' Hall at ONU in 1998! Boy how time flies! We celebrated the girls' 2nd birthday - Kate in June and Rachel in August

Boat Ride

Ahoy Captain!

The Weatherwax/Spicer Family

On Sunday we went to Put-in-Bay with the kids!

It will be fun to go back with them in another 18-19 years :)

Weatherwax Great Grandchildren

On our drive down to Gulf Shores, we went to visit our cousins Julie and Ryan in New Orleans. We were happy to meet the newest member of the family, Reese and visit with big sister Caroline.
Two weeks later, they came to Columbus and went to visit with Great Grandpa and Grandpa. Here the girls enjoyed a dip in the pool!

The girls had so much fun playing together, bossing each other around and getting to know each other a little more. We're looking forward our next visit!

Gulf Shores, Alabama - 2011 Zinser Vacation

The Zinser Vacation 2011 was held in Gulf Shores, Alabama. We had a beautiful home and a memorable trip. Unfortunately, my daughter Kate brought a nasty 24 hour GI bug with her that swept through our house and affected 7/10 travelers! Mom, Dad and Emma escaped with immunity. Needless to say, this trip was bursting with excitement! Haha! We had a wonderful time together and the kids have so much fun together and it is a joy to watch them grow up together and create memories.
The Nichols Fam

The kids enjoyed their Puddle Jumpers! The kids loved jumping off the side of the pool all by themselves, and swimming across the pool with the help of their PJ! I have to admit, I enjoyed the freedom too!

The Fab-4

James is anxiously awaiting another boy in the family!

I am a sucker for the matching outfits! Can you tell? :)

A group shot from the balcony of our house.

The house was amazing - Who needs 9 bathrooms in a house? Oh yeah, we did!

Thank you Mom and Dad for another wonderful trip!

One of my favorite shots of the week!

A few updates...

Emma started taking dance class with her BFF Liliana in June. They are in a creative dance class which has different themes each week (i.e. patriotic, Lion King, princess). The girls have fun together and they look adorable in their leotards!
Ok, you asked for it - Here's a belly shot from a wedding I went to over the 4th of July weekend - I was 23 weeks prego in this picture.
