OK I don't know if you can tell, but in this picture ella is not on the bed, her head is where her feet should be and she is on the floor next to the matress. I went to check on her before I went to bed and this is how I found her. The last time I saw her she was sleeping the right way, she is a crazy sleeper.
Aunt Jill and Gavin
I love this picture, don't they all look SO cute!!!!!
The girls love taking a bath in papas whirl pool tub, the bubbles get HUGE, we almost lost ella in them!! hahaha

say cheese everyone!


Well, we are back into the groove of things after our trip to Michigan. We had a fabulous time visiting with everyone. The girls had a blast playing with everyone and tiring them all out. I know the girls REALLY LOVED the time spent there because I can't even count how many times Kylie has asked me if we can drive to Michigan today. Today she wanted me to drive her to Michigan so that she can go to the park with Papa, I wasn't invited, just her and papa.
Karl is still off of work, this whole week then he goes back until August when he has 3 weeks off, it is nice. Other then that nothing new here, we can't wait to see everyone again when they come here for Gavin's Baptism.

Gavin looking like his daddy waiting to go to church
Im happy
how cute is he
this is what we do, we all stare at Gavin and try to make him laugh
and here we are again


Finally the weather has been warm, really warm actually. We have been swimming like crazy and the girls are loving it. Erin is putting up a semi permanent pool in her yard so as soon as it is filled you will have to see even more swimming pictures.

Everyone here is doing great!! Gavin gave us a 6 hour stretch of sleep last night, it was great. Let's hope this is the start of a new trend with him.

The best news since I last updated this is that Karl is the new Head Varsity Girls Basketball Coach at Ridgewood HS. We are all very excited, especially Karl. He is in charge of not only the varsity team, but the whole program which means hiring coaches for all level as well as coaches assistants.

Hope you enjoy the pictures
