Uniontown Parade & Festival

This past weekend, Lily was in the Uniontown Parade and Festival for her tap and ballet class. She rode on a float and performed both of her dances. We had a great time watching her! Plus the kids had fun at the festival. Here are some photos and videos from our day!

Jamie and his girlfriend, Ann, helping Dillon gather some candy

Wearing "Uncle Mimi's" sunglasses! He can say "Jamie" just fine, but when you ask him to put Uncle in front of it, it becomes "Uncle Mimi." Don't ask!?!

After the parade, my parents came back to our house for a cook-out. Then we headed over to the festival. Lily performed both her tap and ballet dances on a stage in a tent.

Dillon was a good boy. It's hard to sit still for such a long time!

Ready to perform!

Ballet Dance

There was a trailer set up so that the girls could change in between dances. Then we changed Lily into regular clothes and let her and Dillon ride a few rides.

Getting on the mini Ferris wheel

Dillon was scared at first.

Lily took good care of him. She's so sweet hugging him.

And before we knew it, Dillon was smiling and having fun too!

He still looked a little nervous, though!

Then they went on the merry-go-round with Daddy!

And last but not least, they rode the dragon roller coaster!

Wheeeeeee!!!

They ate Cotton Candy!

They played a fishing game!

They won prizes!

It was a really fun day and evening! The kids were worn out by the time we got home. We are looking forward to taking them to the Randolph Fair next weekend when Mimi and Grandpa come to visit!

Housewarming Party with Family & Friends

On August 6th, we had a housewarming party and invited many of our friends and family over to see our new house. Here are some photos from the evening. I think everyone had a great time. I know that Anson and I enjoyed seeing everyone! The night flew by, though, and we wished we would've had more time with everyone.

Lacy and Alyssa (Jen & Ken's new baby girl)

Chef Anson - everyone loved his chicken and burgers!

Baby Alyssa - look at all that hair!

Pickle - hard to tell but the mosquitoes ate him alive that night. He had bites all over his face and neck - where I couldn't put bug spray!

Chris and Kim with Lacy. We were so glad they were able to come up and see us. They spent the night and good part of Sunday with us.

Luke holding Lacy. He'll be a wonderful big brother someday!
