finally

I'm finally caught up..kind of. There are a few more pictures I want to post from April that are on Josh's iPhone from King's Dominion and great wolf Lodge. But for now I'm happy with what is here :). We are winding down the year and looking forward to summer. Juliette is getting a little musical education through Josh in the mornings. She Loves loves loves music from the 50s. I've got to play her some Bette and Barbra to expand her musical loves :).

We've got a lot of plans for over the summer, especially since we have an extra two weeks of vacation. We may even make a trip up to PA for the Italian Festival which we haven't been to since mom and dad moved. Well I'm exhausted so off to bed I go.

POP POP!!

She was excited to have a visit from Nana and Pop Pop!

Easter

She raided mom's jewelry box and put on every single bracelet

Helllooooooooooo


Fashion girl

I had to laugh..she is such a girl! She took this dress off the rack and went over to the mirror and held it up to her. I have no clue how she thought of doing this! Love!!
 

Project!

Juliette got to spend a night over her buddy's house while Josh and I had to be somewhere. Sue let them make shrinky dink jewelry. Remember those??? Rachel made a bracelet for Juliette and she is still wearing it.
 

totally amazed by them!


 waiting for them to be done

Our other family :)

We love when we get to be with the Evans clan. Juliette loves Baby Eddie. I think it's hysterical she calls him that because Emilie calls her Baby Juliette..to this day. We went for a walk to get ice cream, played outside, and relaxed.
 






More park!



Peter Pan

We went to the Scranton Cultural Center to see Cathy Rigby in Peter Pan. We didn't tell Juliette where we were going and she was totally surprised. She saw the background with Big Ben and said That's London! Peter Pan lives in London!
Her favorite parts were the tick tock croc, when Peter flew, when Peter called Hook a cod fish, and every part in between. She is still reminding us of when we didn't tell her where we were going. She loves live theater! My kind of girl :)
 
 
 
 

Fun at Steamtown

I took Juliette over to Steamtown while we were in PA and visited the little children's play museum that they have. Her favorite part is always the farmers market and she can shop for her favorite foods.
 
 
 
 not ready for checkers quite yet
 
making a mean Mexican dinner

 
making a card to make Daddy feel better- we had gotten some unwanted news about our rented house that morning. It's all good now though :)

 
of course we needed a pretzel

 
She liked checking out the model trains




Great Wolf Lodge

Wow where to begin talking about our two days at Great Wolf. This kid was in Heaven!!! I thought she would like it....we couldn't drag her out of the pool! Once she went down the slides, she would walk up all by herself, but Nana wanted to help her. She loved the yellow huge slide for the little kids. She had no nap, didn't go to sleep until 10 and woke up at 5 the next morning to ask Nana to sleep with her so she was a little grumpy in the morning but when we told her grumps didn't go to the pool she perked right up.
 
 
 
Up she goes to the slide!







 
 
 and down she goes




 The next morning having a "cookie" in bed
not quite ready to get up




heading back up to the slide--- you can see her in her pink suit and life vest




Surprisingly she loved wearing the swim vest once I told her she had to put it on to play.
 
The wave pool. She loved it and rediscovered the joy of the fountains shooting up her butt!


 
At dinner she couldn't wait to get back to the pool.

 
cake pop!
