Dolly Steamboat

We went on a family adventure to Canyon Lake to take a ride on the Dolly steamboat. It was a little warm but lots of fun. The scenery was beautiful.

They looked so cute in their life jackets. Chest bumping.

September

Alessandra is 17 months old this month. She is sporting her Cardinals jersey to watch the game with Daddy.                                                                 

Joal is a month old. The month has gone by so fast. He weighs 10lbs. 10oz. And 22 1/2 in. Growing like a weed.

Trip to Utah

We took a little trip to Utah to introduce Joal to the family.

Its a BOY

At 11:19 am on August 16 2013 Joal Joseph joined our family. He weighed 8lbs 6oz, 20 1/2 in. Long. He has a full head of black hair, just like his Dad. 

He is a good, mellow baby.

Alessandra meets her baby brother. She has been so good with him, very gentle and sweet. She likes to help me take care of him.

Alessandra at 16 months

It is so crazy that she is 16 months already. She is our busy little bee. She loves snicker bars, if we let her she would devour the whole thing without stopping to breath.

She loves riding on the golf cart. It won't be long and she will be driving.

Keeping her pearly whites clean. She has 14 teeth now.

Bath time, one of her favorite daily activities.

Silly girl

Cheering for the cardinals.

Her favorite toys are all her balls. She has a dozen.

July Activities

Best way to spend July in Arizona is to find every water play area or air conditioned play area you can. We kicked off July at the splash pad. Alessandra loves water and had a blast playing with Charlie and Jonathan.

 Next we hit play land at the mall. Tons of fun climbing, sliding and just being free to run around.

 Charlie and Alessandra playing legos together. They both love to knock down whatever Jonathan builds.

 The Science Center had a Sesame Street exhibit. It was really cute and fun for the little ones to play.

 A butterfly Wonderland just opened in Scottsdale so we had to check it out. Unfortunately it was not air conditioned, but totally awesome anyway. Alessandra loved all the butterflies flying around, she wanted to "pet" them all.
