My camera died so these were taken with Stephen's phone, not bad.

I LOVE YOU DADDY!

Ever since the day I was born....


You've always kept me safe and warm...



We've shared so many fun times together....

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU, no matter the weather!

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

We got him a portable grill and all the fixins!

Fun in the city with Billy!

Stephen's cousin Dylan ("Billy") came to see us this weekend so we took him around the city to see some of the sights. We ate some NY pizza for lunch, walked thrugh Time Square and Central Park and then ate some authentic Thai Food for dinner. The next day we had fun at the strawberry festival at IHOP and walked around Liberty State Park just prove that NJ has things to offer the tourists too!


Times Square has been made into a "pedestrian" zone. The streets have been closed off to traffic indefinitely and there are lawn chairs EVERYWHERE for the tourists to sit in and soak it all in. It kind of looks white trash so we hope if this becomes permanent that they posh up the seating situation just a tad.

We cruised around the NBA store and looked at all the cool stuff....so much to see that Brooks couldn't focus on the camera!


You're almost there Brooksie just a few more feet!

Stopping for a family photo shoot in Central Park.


Beautiful view from NJ of the NY skyline.

I love this pic....no more kisses mom seriously!

Memorial Day....and the day after.

For Memorial Day we spent the WHOLE day at our favorite Jersey spot- Ocean Grove. We went with a big group of friends, but need-less to say I'm obsessed with my boys so I didn't really get any pics of anyone else. We left our house at quarter to 9am...(for those of you who know us well- you know that that is an amazing feat in and of itself!) We played and lounged on the beach until after 6pm and then ate some delicious burgers at the Burger Palace with the Kaycee and Taylor and their boys. It was an Amazingly BEAUTIFUL day, perfect beach weather....too bad the weather-man predicted cloudy and mid 60's so I didn't wear my swimsuit! Arghh. Oh well, we had fun anyway and it feels like summer has only just begun!!

This is Brooks' little contraption to stay out of the sun

My tute boys....the little one is lathered in sunscreen, but the big boy forgot.....

Playing some football while Brooks is snoozing

They built this "hot tub" because the water was freezing and so the kiddies could play in the water and not be knocked over by the waves.

Relaxin at the beach

This is the day after.......

Stephen woke up with throbbing swollen feet because his legs were burnt so bad, he could barely walk without being in pain so he stayed home from work and studied for the CPA exam he's going to take on Thursday.

Teaching Brooks about all the neat accounting principles and business law.....so interesting daddy!
