Visit from Grammy and Grandpa

Anson's parents came in to town last weekend. On Friday, Anson's birthday, we went to the Hartville Kitchen to celebrate his b-day.

"Happy Birthday" peach pie!

On Saturday, we took the kids to Wingfoot Lake State Park, which used to be owned by Goodyear. Since Grandpa is retired from Goodyear, Anson always used to go to this park as a kid. It was neat from him and Grammy and Grandpa to see what has changed and what has remained the same. It is a really nice park, and the kids loved playing on the playground.

Swinging together!

Then, Tuesday was Lily's second week of dance. She's a princess. I love watching her dance. I am so proud of her, and she is really enjoying her class.

I took this pic today. They were coloring :)

Lily Started Dance Class Tonight

Ballerina Lily was so precious during her first dance class tonight. She's taking a class from Mary Lyn's in Uniontown. I enjoyed watching her listen to her teacher (Mary Lyn herself) and interact with the other girls in her class. I could really tell she was enjoying herself!

The class is half ballet and half tap. They learned a few ballet moves first.
Then, they changed into their tap shoes.

There were a lot of little girls in her class tonight, but the teacher actually split the class, so next week there will only be 5 or 6 girls in her class.

The girl next to Miss Mary Lyn is her helper. The little girl standing next to Lily to the right is Lydia. She is the daughter of Susan and Dan Skeggs - a couple I know from high school :) There are actually several moms I saw tonight who I went to high school with.

The videos are the best and speak for themselves. Lily really enjoyed it!

It's a Girl!!!

Yesterday was my 20-week ultrasound, and everything looks good. We found out that we are going to have another Lily!!! We are so excited. Baby girl is growing and measuring well!

Now we can start talking about names we like for our baby girl!

August Fun, Labor Day and Dillon turns 18 months old!

Dillon sitting at the table like a big boy!

Gotta love that face and hair!
And, of course, Lily's cheese smile!

Zack stayed with us for a few hours one night. The kids had so much fun playing with each other...as you can tell from the toy mess!

It's not a party without popcorn!

This pic cracks me up...they are making the same face!

Pickle being sweet and charming!

Last Sunday, we went to the fair. It was so HOT! Uncle Jeremy and Heather went with us. It was fun, but the heat really wore us down.

The only ride Lily wanted to go on was the giant slide. Daddy took her on it.

Weeeeee!!!!

Weeeeee!!!!

Today, Dillon turned a year and half! Time flies when you're having fun! He's such a sweet boy! He's starting to talk more and more..."ball," "papa", "mama", "dada" are some of his first words. He definitely gets his point across, though, with pointing and grunting. His well baby check-up is on Sept. 16, so I'll have to report his stats then.

We went to Nana and Papa's today for a cook-out. We were hoping for a hotter day so we could swim but it was pretty chilly. We did get in the pool but only for about 10 minutes because it was really cold!

Papa took the kids for a bike ride up to the clock/bell tower, which is just up their street.

The kids love riding their cars on the driveway. Anson and I can wait to have a paved driveway, too. Maybe next summer?

Next Monday is my ultrasound! We're hoping to find out if we're going to have another Lily or another Dillon! Can't wait. Happy Labor Day all, and have a good week!
