National Night Out at Target

Target sponsors a community night once a year. This year they called the nice guys over at the Chili Fire Department and they brought a fire truck and ambulance for the kids to check out. Mikey loved the flashlights and would have loved to get his hands on one.

Summer in Rochester

sprinkler time in our back yard... the bulging belly is because Michael drank about 10 quarts of sprinkler water!!!!
Mikey and Daddy headed over to the Gates Town Celebration which basically takes place at the end of our street. Mikey got this awesome fire hat and a fireman badge!

Fredonia NY

On the way back from PA we meandered our way home. We made a quick pit stop in Fredonia NY (where Mikey's mama went to college many moons ago)

Mikey hanging out in front of one of the many art pieces on campus, the Tin Men.
Someone wasn't real happy about having to get BACK into the car. It was tough to run around though because it was HOT that day.
The house I lived in my senior year at Fredonia with Mikey's Aunt Aimee and Aunt Amy.

Happy Birthday Great Uncle Steve!

We traveled to Uniontown, PA on July 4th weekend to attend a suprise party for Donald's Uncle Steve. It was nice to see the whole family and get to meet some cousins that I hadn't met yet.

Uncle Roddy, Grandpa Don, Uncle Steve, Aunt Patty and Uncle John

Michael and Uncle Stephen battle over air hockey. Mikey took an early lead, but I think in the end Uncle Stephen scored more points.
We played pool (without sticks)
and had CAKE. I think it was the only thing Mikey polished off all night long!!

It's been a while..

I'd like to say we've been up to so much fun that we haven't had time to slow down. The truth is there isn't much new around Rochester NY. Mikey is getting bigger everyday. We find him pretty funny most of the time. Last weekend Mikey and I went to see Grammy Jean and Grandpa Dino. Mikey got this shirt and made sure that Dino had a yellow shirt too. This morning when I put it on him, he was upset because he wasn't sure Dino was wearing his yellow shirt. I made sure to text Grammy and she made sure Dino was in a matching shirt.

Mikey still loves his Scout puppy. He's learned the joy of "boo-boo ice" and getting M's when he uses the toilet. He loves books and insists on having at least 5 in the bed to drift off to sleep with.

We love him so and can't imagine the world without him!

Day Out with Thomas 2010

Thomas (the Tank Engine) and some of his friends came to Medina NY this weekend (he'll be back next weekend too) so we decided to go say hello to him. Unfortunately for us the beautiful weather we've had in upstate NY went on a bit of a hiatus. We woke up to SNOW and it was pretty chilly. Lots of the fun parts of this were outside, but we didn't get to enjoy everything.

Check out Mikey's new Rosie tattoo... He didnt even cry when he got it.
What's that???
Mikey and Toby. One of his perennial favorites.
Mikey and Momma enjoying a short train trip that Thomas took us on.
He looked like a grump most of the time we were there, but I was able to catch this smile!
