July 14 - The Big Day, Part 2

We took Asher to an equipment rental place to let him try out some of the machines (they weren't on obviously) and it was a hit!

Bella liked it too. So much so that she cried when I made her get off. :-)

July 14 - The Big Day, Part 1

peek!

Presents in New York

Uncle Shane got him an "Ithaca is Gorges" t-shirt. This is an Ithaca classic. And the best part is he gets to match his uncle.

Aunt Kelly got him matchbox cars. And one of them was a street cleaner!

Uncle Seth got him a lawn mower that blows bubbles. Another big hit and the best part? It's not loud.

The whole gang again.

The Pinata

Nana's idea. It was a beauty.

Exploring his plunder.

I have two videos to post of Asher cracking his pinata open. But you'll have to wait.

Birthday in New York

Party hats for everyone.

Nana and Grandpa

Lovin' Watermelon

The whole gang.

Aunts and Uncles

Uncle Seth

Uncle Shane

Aunt Kelly

World Cup

I know this is way behind us but....thought you should see how die hard we were. It was pretty fun. I believe we even uttered the words "U.S.A! U.S.A!"
(but don't worry dear Canadian loved ones, Asher still says "GO CANADA!!!" and thinks everyone will love his Canuck hockey jersey every time he wears it - seriously)

We even made a USA cake for the big loss.
(lemon cake decorated with blueberries and raspberries)

New York! Fun Fun

We went to New York to visit Scott's family and it was FUN FUN. We hadn't been there in 3 years! so we were definitely overdue.
This car came with a gas tank that pumped water.

Asher and Nana getting the sandbox ready.

Grandpa and Asher in the sandbox....it was truly endless fun.

Bella going down the tree house slide. This was Bella's endless fun...

Daddy and Bella on the Go Kart.

All by herself. Big girl.

This was the Little Tykes roller coaster...saved for the grand kids from Aunt Kelly and Uncle Seth's little days.

Videos

I've also posted videos within the previous posts "We're Alive" until current...in case you're interested.

Bella's crawling specialty: Bear Crawling

A favourite for the brother and sister...
