Jorge's 1st Day of kindergarten

Jorge is so excited that today is his first day in the big school

If you thought Jorge was excited, take a look at Joe's happy face...

Jorge with two of his best buddies from La Petite that are going with him to his new school and all are prepared to ride the bus in a few minutes

Of course, Mom and Dad couldn't miss the trip from day care to kindergarten and get as many hugs, kisses and pictures in as possible

Mommy and Jorgie just look so happy

Here we go guys...

First time off the bus at our new school

Our First Trip to Kings Island

Mom took Jorge and Lucy to Kings Island while Dad was at work - yes, we had all the fun! Mom's nieces Corey & Cassie and nephews Nathan & John joined us.

Jorge and Lucy were so thrilled to get their picture taken with Sponge Bob! They weren't to thrilled about the Wild Thornberry log flume ride that we went on right before this picture. Mom told them they weren't going to get wet, and we got SOAKED!
Here's Jorge and John on Plankton's Plunge. Jorge loved this and the Fairly Odd coaster (aka The Beastie). I think he road the coaster 7 times. He only wanted to ride things with John or Nathan!
Lucy enjoyed the milder rides like this one. She road Plankton's plunge but did NOT find it fun AT ALL!

Off to the Cincy Zoo

While Dad was at a class for work, Mom took the kids to the Cincy zoo. We met Uncle Joe, Aunt Jamie, Lakayla, Jamie's sister and son, Tanner. Tanner and Lucy will be walking down the aisle together at the wedding this fall! Tanner and Jorge hit it off! They had lots of fun playing and looking at the animals. Jorge and Lucy's favorite were the gorillas.

Happy 4th of July!

Jorge and Lucy having fun with the sparklers!

We went up to the lake the Saturday following the 4th. Here is Jorge going on his first tube ride. He loved it. Yes, Dad took it easy on us.

Here we are waiting for the fireworks to start. They had a wonderful fireworks show that Jorge and Lucy absolutley loved (Mom, Dad and Grandma enjoyed them as well!). Joe was a trooper and lasted until 5 minutes before the show.

Fun at the lake!

Ok, we are a little out of order chronologically, but I couldn't miss posting some of these great pictures. We had some fun on the lake with Rob's Mom, sister and nieces. Jorge and Leila had a blast swimming although the water was a little chilly!

The two adorable little China cousins, Mia and Lucy! How cute is that???

Here's the whole clan.

And here is my favorite photo of Joe so far. There is something about those checks that just make me want to squeeze them! Thanks for the great photos Michelle!

Off to St. Louis for a long weekend...

We had a good time visiting a city that we had never been to together this last weekend. We took a long four day weekend and had a fun visit to the Gateway to the West.

Of course we couldn't miss the "Dinoraurus" exhibit at the St. Louis Zoo. Jorge knows all the dinosaurs and would tell us what they were before we even got to them.

Dad and kids in front of Jorge's favorite - the Tyrannosaurus Rex (T-Rex for short)

Jorge and Lucy see one of the Elephants

The Sea Lions were amazing

What a fun weekend - topped off by Joe taking his first stroll

He's not quite to walking very far yet, but he made great strides this weekend and will no doubt be getting around by himself in no time. He has come so far in such a short time. When we got him he couldn't crawl and he is almost walking already. What a fun weekend it was - look at the short clips below...
