My Cousin Ty

The Cuff's came for a visit over Father's Day weekend to Cincinnati.

Heather (Scott's sister & family), Tom, Ty, Jack & Luc - what a fun weekend we had.

Gavin LOVES spending time with Ty and here they were playing at the water table outside.

And that is not all water - but alot of sweat too.

It was VERY hot in Cinci... so this was one of our very few times outside together.

Gillard Summer Party

We hosted a very fun - and very hot - summer party in June with several of our friends & several of Gavin's friends too.

We lucked out that the rain passed and we were able to enjoy the backyard and to be outside.

We had a great time - and so appreciate all of our friends in Cinci!





Gavin's friends - Gabby & Miles.

Miles - did you take off your pants? I know it is sooo hot out!

We have a zip line in our backyard - and here was Cricket trying it out - all by herself. And - she had quite the stop when she hit the tree at the bottom (that is not her mother right there...).

Some of the "adults" tried out that zip line too - that was pretty entertaining!

Our Little Drummer Boy

Gavin loves music... and here he is playing his drum!

We can't wait to attend music class again this fall... he loves it!

What a gift for Mother's Day

Our newest investment - a John Deere riding lawn mower!

And, Gavin and I got to take our first ride up and down our private drive. And - we picked it up on Mother's Day (yes, I was at Home Depot on Mother's Day....). I am blessed to be Gavin's mommy each and every day - and I look forward to being a mommy to our new little one later this fall. Thanks for making my day so special!

Trip to Seattle

Scott and I headed to Seattle for Sam & Michele's wedding and our 1st trip ever to Seattle.

We had an amazing time - spent 6 days - just the 2 of us - enjoyed some time with Scott's parents & had a blast at the wedding. What an amazing ceremony and the celebration/reception took place at a winery. It was truly fabulous - now if only I could have had several glasses of wine - that would have been even better.

Here we are up in the Space Needle in Seattle - what a beautiful day and amazing view of the city!

Where was Gavin? He enjoyed a fun-filled week at G&G Cross' on the farm in Illinois. I will have to update with pics from Grandma from that week.

Congrats to Michele & Sam!

Love my Uncle Ryan

What a cool photo - love it!

Uncle Ryan & Gavin playing outside with the football... precious!
