First Supper

I am 6 months old so I get to use these spoons and bowls to eat like everyone else.

I was pretty happy at first. I was even drooling I was so hungry!

Then Mommy started to feed me.

I'm not so sure about this stuff.
Not as good as my usual meals, but it will do I guess.
I was still happy when we were done and my belly was much fuller!

Guess I will try again tomorrow!

O-An Again

Mommy took me on another day beach trip. I love the O-An and Sand more and more. This time we went with Kylie, Stefanie and Stacie. Alyza still can't go because Mommy is afraid she would eat the sand. I had a great time just looking around. So did Kylie
Then we ran, and then I threw some sand. Sorry Mommy - I won't do it again.
Man......I do love me some summer beach days!

Joey's Birthday

Whew... I eat a lot of cake the first week of August! I really don't mind though.
Joey turned two hands this year. I guess next year he'll need to use his toes to tell people how old he is! Here he is getting ready to blow out his candles.

Then lots of kids got on the raft in the pool with even more kidsswimming around!
I swam with Carly - as usual.

Kylie's Birthday Too... I mean two

Kylie turned two. Here she is with her Mommy and Daddy getting ready to sing...
Kylie enjoyed some cake.
Alyza is too little for cake,
But I'm not!

Daddy's Little Birthday Cake

We celebrated Daddy's Birthday with a little cake.
It was really just a little cake!
Happy Birthday Daddy!

Knoebel's Kompany Piknik

We went to Knoebel's for Mommy's Kompany Piknik. Claire was busy on the rides. She drove lots of cars.
The panthers,
the bumper cars,


and the firetrucks


Claire also went on the Whip and was really mad that her hat fell off!
She was styling in her hat and coordinating painted toes.
While I hung out and watched. Claire hung with Daddy. While I was with Mommy.
Next time I just have to check out all the fun rides Claire was on!

Kowaloneks can be Irish too

Mommy claims we are Irish so we went to the Irish Festival.
We ended up meeting some of our Irish relatives there. I got my favorite - pierogies!
Joey put on a cool suit and we watched.
I still need to figure out what it means to be Irish, but I did see some girls dancing - if you need to know how to dance and like to eat pierogies - I guess I could buy that I am Irish then!

Beach Trip

One day Mommy and I went to the beach with lots of my cousins, aunts, uncle and my Grammy!



And when I say lots - these are just the kids that went with us!
Needless to say - I had LOTS of fun. Can't wait until we do it again next year.

Big Apple - Part Two

We stayed over night in New York and on our second day we took in some important sites.
First Daddy pushed us around Central Park
Then Mommy walked on the BIG PIANO with me.


I liked it a lot!

Alyza liked it too, but old habits are hard to break!

I can't wait until we go back. New York City has lots of fun stuff for us to do!

Just Like Me

I got my American Girl Doll Just like me Doll.....



I love her, but Mommy says the just like me "Doll" was actually already here....

I love her too! Alyza and I are so much alike and I never realized it!

BIG APPLE.....

.......more like big sandwich and hot dog.

When Daddy came home from Spain we met up with him in New York City. We went to what Daddy called the Carnegie Deli and the food was HUGE!

Daddy had a tongue sandwich

I opted for a hot dog.


Alyza just watched us all

Hannah Tannah's Graduation Party

When Daddy went to Spain we went to Hannah Tannah's (Jaclyn's) Graduation Party. It was also the real 4th of July so we wore our red, white and blue. Alyza hung out with Jessica.
While Kylie and I hung out by a fountain.
My hands got cold.

I have a feeling next year Alyza will be hanging near fountains with us!

Daddy on a Hair Pain

Daddy went on a Hair Pain to Spain and Ran with the Bulls.

We all missed him.

He didn't take many pictures - but had a great time and lived out one of his dreams!

Real Fireworks and Staying up Late

We watched real fireworks in Frackville and in Ashland this year. Alyza was wide awake for both of them. My first year at fireworks I fell asleep!



I wore Jammies becaue Mommy knew I would fall asleep in the car. Ten o'clock is so late!
