A Few RUFF pictures:)

I am a bit behind on my blog picture postings-I think I have plenty to blame it on...chasing around a wild 18 month old, being 17 weeks pregnant, Chris' many hours of commuting/working, lots of family visits, and the fact that we are just trying to enjoy the gorgeous summer days.
Anyways, a couple weekends ago we were blessed with a visit from Grammy Ruff, Uncle Andy, Aunt Jill & Uncle Tom & Jackson, and Aunt Jen & Clem:) It was ONE full house, but we loved the company and rare moments with family. Here are a few pictures from the weekend-let's say it is not an easy thing to get a picture of three happy toddlers all at one moment:

The three babes in a chair:)
Three worn out moms and three worn out babies!!!

Happy Birthday Jill!!!

Berries, Berries, Berries...

After a Saturday visit to the strawberry fields, we are now overloaded with berries:) We have had our fill of strawberries-both plain and with some homemade strawberry shortcake. The rest are now in the freezer ready for smoothies and other delicious desserts!
Of course, Aiden enjoyed the special outing. He loved the tractor that you got to ride, sorry Grandpa but it was no John Deere. And I think that our baby loved fresh strawberries since he ate more than his fair share while picking. Here are some pictures from our outing:
Eating, Eating, Eating...
Look who learned to pick strawberries!
More strawberries shoved into his mouth
SO much fun!!!

Cousin Love

On our way back from North Carolina, we made a visit to my sister Jill's house in PA! We had a fabulous time and Aiden loved spending some time with his cousin, Jack.
Jill and I started Saturday morning trying to see if there were any good garage sales-we found one and I found some new toys and clothes for a total of five dollars! After we returned with donuts in hand, the two of us took the babies to Gymboree where Jack goes to a baby class. Lo and behold, Aiden LOVED it (I might have to find one of these classes for Aiden to do soon)!!!!! He was climbing all over the equipment, loved the parachute, and of course, they had his favorite...BUBBLES!!!! After nap time, we set up their new baby pool. Aiden splashed all around until Chris turned on the mini-sprinkler that was attached to the pool and scared the little bug so much that swimming was done for the day! Jack had no idea what to think of the water at first, but once he was in, he was a SPLASH king. We finished the day with some delicious food-hamburgers, pasta salad, fruit, and smores.
On Sunday, we ventured over to the miniature golf course in the sunshine. Aiden loves running around the course, dropping the ball in the hole, and attempting for another hole in one. Believe it or not, my sister Jill beat me (no surprise if you know my putt-putt skills) and both of the men!!!! Yeah Jill:) We headed home later in the day for a fun Memorial Day at home. Here are some pictures from the weekend:

Aiden had a newfound interest in all the baby things-here he is in the Jumperoo!

Again, another interest in the baby items...Aiden in the Bumbo seat!

Catching Up...A Day at the Zoo!

So I am going to spend the next couple posts catching up on the past couple weeks that we were down South! We have finally arrived back home, catching up on life in CT, and have been reunited with the puppies!!!!!!
When we were in NC, we spent a day at the NC zoo with my dad. We got to see lots of animals, including the crazy junior high students:)
Here are some pictures from the day:
