Oh My

I went to pick up t yesterday from daycare and found out she has a special friend. One of her teachers was telling me about this and asked t to give her 'boyfriend' a hug. t walked over to this sweet, little boy and gave him a big hug. He was grinning from ear to ear. I thought it was sweet...daddy, not so much! Apparently, Jim's going to buy a shotgun today! :-)

Zoo Fun

We went to the zoo on Labor Day. Hopefully, I'll get some pictures posted soon. Here's a video to last you until then.

Storytime

This picture was taken on a lazy, Sunday afternoon at Emme and Grandaddy's. Granddaddy is quite the storyteller! ;-)

The County Fair

A few weeks back we went to the county fair and had a great time. Tessa had a lot of fun working on the farm and even got to milk a cow (a fake one!). She planted seeds, fed the animals, watched pig and duck races, and danced to the live music. Check these pics out.

Seeing the Wilkinsons

In Pennsylvania, we were able to see my family and spend a couple days with them. In honor of my dad's b-day, we went to Kennywood which is a theme park he and my mom went to as kids. My brother and I also went there growing up. It was fun to take the kids there and for them to ride some of the same things we rode years ago. The day ended with hoagies from Danny's (one of dad's old school favorites) and they were stinkin' awesome!! My family can put down some serious hoagies! :-) It was an amazing day with the whole family together! I loved it! Sorry there are so many pictures, but I couldn't narrow it down!

Here's the whole gang (minus me)! Can you find the crying baby??

Look out, mom's driving!! Glad these cars had seat belts!

Chris looks very focused and a bit frightened.

Okay, maybe it's Tessa that looks frightened!!

Great pic of Jim & Tessa.

I love this shot of our niece, Livi.

This is one of my favorite pics of mom and dad. GREAT pic!!

This was Tessa's 1st time to a theme park. Kennywood has a section called Kiddieland with rides suitable for kids to ride on their own. Most of them were for the older kids, but there were swings for Tessa's age. I was so nervous!!! I didn't know if she was going to cry the whole time, but she did so great! This sounds cheesy, but I was so proud! It was one of the first things she's done on her own. What a big girl...look at her!!

First cotton candy...

First time driving. This was the first and last ride we went on. She was much more in to it at the end. Look at her face. She looks like she's having so much fun!

Me and Chris. What a cutie (Chris not me)!

Livi, GG Dobbie, and Chris

Pap pap and Tessa. What a sweet picture!

Sorry about the picture quality, but I couldn't leave this one out. It kinda sums up the Wilkinson family...

Missin' the Beach

Over the 4th of July we were in Destin, Florida for the 1st ever Forrester Family Vacation. This trip was planned by Jim, his sister, Melanie, her hubby, Chip and I a long time ago in honor of Martha's (Jim's mom) 60th birthday (which was in February). You still with me? Well, we all had a fabulous time and it was great having the kids together. Tessa got the biggest kick out of her cousin, Cole. All she had to do was look at him and she would just laugh and laugh!! It was really cute! Hopefully, we'll be able to do this more often. Here are some pics...

These are family photos we took. Don't you like our 'uniforms?'




This is Cole after he caught a little fish close to shore. That fish cost me 10 bucks!! After 2 days of trying to catch one it paid off...literally!


I couldn't pass up this photo opportunity. Look at that cheek!


Jim catching a wave. We had a lot of fun boogie boarding!


Jim and I parasailing...how cool!!


There was always time for Rock Band. Especially after all the kiddos went to bed!!


Some random beach pictures.
